Thank you for sharing. Sincerely, Leslie

Dear Lisa & Chris, I am glad to see that ur daughter is doing well. I am 17 yrs old and I found this site because I am doing a bio project on down syndrome and i had to find someone with this symptom and ur daughter had caught my eye and I am glad to share your daughters story and how well she is doing today. I hope that you don't have a problem with that. Thank You.

Lisa, I am Bobby Andersons wife, he works for Chris. Bobby gave me the link to your site and I was very touched. What a wonderful family you have. I was an aspiring journalist in my younger years so I truly appreciate the beautiful thoughts that you have so eloquently shared on this site. Also, as a mother I can understand the depths that you go to for your children. I hope to meet you one day soon! Thank you for sharing, Tisha Anderson

Hi Lisa - I remember you as a little girl at UCSB Housing - as I am a frend of Bobbi. Thank you for sharing your family's experiences and photos of lovely Bridget. The loving and learning shine through. -Susan

Mom, you did a very well job on this website. I think that you will teach a lot of other people about Bridget and Down Syndrome. Thank you for putting my writing on your website because I also want people to know more about Bridget. I really appreciate you doing this. I love you mom!

Bridget is growing up so fast! Your website will bring the light into the hearts of others, Aunt Lisa!

Dear Lisa, I am an old friend of Bobbi's. We worked together at Burbank when you were still in high school. I got a Christmas card from her today encouraging me to visit your website. I'm glad she did. It appears as if Bridget is indeed a blessing and one lucky little girl to have landed in a family with so much love. Just one question: How in heaven's name have you had time to brush your hair let alone prepare such a well-written and informative website?! Amazing! Mary Ellen (Powers) Rupright

Lisa, Chris and all. Thank you SO very much for sharing Bridget (as well as the rest of your children) with us. I can clearly see why she is a "shining light" as I felt it all the way here. Much love to you all and continued happiness as you journey together in Bridget's wonderful world! Phyl ANA forum

I love your website! You worked hard and everyone apreciates what you do! I love you mom!

Thank you for sharing. Your family's inner strength and love shine through. I am a friend of Bobbi's, and in the process of adopting a specials needs child. Your site has highlighted the belief that God does not make mistakes. There is a meaning and a purpose to our children being born the way they are. Thank you.

Lisa and Family, Thank you so much for sharing Bridget and her story with all of us. It truly is inspirational on so many levels. Thank you for your honesty and for extending your hand to other families. I feel truly blessed to know Bridget and her loving family.

Lisa- I just got finished reading through your website-the best word to describe it is WOW! I am so impressed by your story and how amazing you and your family are. I hope to meet Bridget one of these nights at dance class-she is beautiful!

Your family is absolutely inspirational and beautiful, inside and out. Thank you for sharing your light with me and the world!

Beautiful website! You did a perfect job expressing your heart. Your family is blessed and your daughter is so adorable! You really should send a copy of your first page to "Gifts" to submit for their second book. I love the title, "Bridgets Light." Thanks also for linking Alex site....we share many of the same thoughts.

Saw the article in This Week newspaper about Bridget being in the Times Square video! Congratulations! She is very beautiful! Your website is fabulous as well! We have a 3 year old daughter, Lauren, who has Down Syndrome as well. She is the light of our lives!

Hi, Lisa. I just read about your family in the This Week newspaper. Your amazing family is an inspiration to many people. Through your parenting and example your children are wise and mature beyond their years.

There are not enough words to express how wonderful this site is and the sense of love and joy which it conveys. Thank you for allowing me and others to share in the glow of Bridget's Light.

Lisa, This is amazing! You have a remarkable gift in the way you deliver such an important message. Please continue to share all of the wonderfulness that is Bridget. Her light will shine even brighter through your family's story. It is priceless!

Lisa, Thank you for making the time to create this web site. I love it. It is just beautiful, as it Bridget. I especially love the title - Bridget's Light. I painted my experiences with my daughter and found 'light' to be a common theme. You can see some of those paintings at http://www.wedancetogether.com peace and love, candee basford

Simply beautiful!! Please get a publisher, this is so heartfelt, enlightening, not enough words to describe. It will help so many people and probably would hit the bestseller list. You are a talented archiver of your daughter's life. Maybe she will write her own autobiography some day as well?! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
