Dear Karen,
Thank you for performing for the Seniors at the Jewish Community Center on Friday, May 4th, 2007. Your program was amazing. You spread so much love with your music. You and John brought back so many memories for our seniors. You both conquered the language barrior with music, and the Seniors were truly happy about your program. They loved the type of music that you played, and were so excited that they got to choose the program. Thank You for bringing John. He added so much to the performance with his charm and accordion music and as always, the seniors loved you playing the violin.
I hope you enjoyed the seniors of the JCC and that you will consider returning in the future to perform again.
Thank you again for taking the time to give the gift of music to our seniors.
Sincerely,
Susan Bradley

Hi Karen, Rob and I just got back from our honeymoon and I just wanted to drop you a quick email and thank you for how wonderful you were at our wedding. Everyone commented on how beautiful the ceremony music was. I didn't know until my aunt was showing me her pictures that you played a few songs for my grandfather while they were waiting for everyone to file out of the tent. Thank you so much for that - he's always loved music so much and even though his mind isn't what it used to be, he still does. My aunt said that he talked about how much he had enjoyed it for the rest of the night.
Again, thank you for all of your help and your hard work learning the Princess Bride song. Heather Bokon

Dear Karen, Chris and I would like to thank you again for making our wedding beautiful. We feel like we did not thank you enough. Music was unbelievably good. Even though we were away from the music most of the time, the video that my brother taped enabled us to see the entire ceremony. Thank you, thank you, thank you . . . I also feel bad that I didn't introduce myself to your friends and thanked them appropriately. Nor did I say goodbye. Please also thank them on behalf of us. I am usually good at these things, but it is really different when actually you are the one going through a big event. I would definitely want to keep in touch so here is my e-mail and phone #, and maybe we can meet again when you are in Oxford. I wish you a life as beautiful and you and your music. Love, Nazan

Our photographer took some photos I thought you may enjoy. When Tony and I were honeymooning in Venice, Italy I picked you up this Murano glass wine stopper. I hope you enjoy it.

Karen,
I wanted to let you know that you and your musicians were superb
for Amanda's wedding!!! I must admit, the only pieces I heard
were during the ceremony, but I received so many compliments
about your performance. I can't wait to see the video, then I can
hear you play again!
Thank you, also, for linking me with Cecilia Rose--she was critical
in how smoothly everything went. I would have been frenzied
without her!
It was a beautiful evening (we couldn't have asked for better
weather!) and you helped to make it so. You were truly enjoyable
to work with! I wish you much continued success with your
business--how blessed you are to have such wonderful talent!
Sincerely,
Mary Jo Etter

Concert

Dear Karen,
Thank you so much for playing the concert last week! You were
absolutely wonderful to work with. It was just comforting to know
you were behind me knowing what to do to enhance the music!
The choir had nothing but wonderful things to say about you as
well as those in attendance. I hope I can call upon you again if
and when I need a violinist. You can always call me if I can
ever help you out as well.
Thanks again, and God bless!

Yes, I would like to help keep the music at Christ Hospital.
During one of my husband's visits for treatment he was not comfortable waiting. Then we heard violin music. Looking back I saw a calmer expression on his face. If Karen Addie still visits please tell her how much her music meant not only to him, but to me and my daughter. Karen knew so much of the music we remembered. I think she may have stayed beyond her time, but she made three people happy.
Sincerely,

Rehearsal Dinner

(This was a party that was going on in another room. I was early to my event, so I "dropped in" and played for them.)
Dear Karen,
Dick and I were so glad to receive your card. Thanks for sending it. Whether you realize it or not, you became a special part of so many wonderful memories of the rehearsal dinner at the Manor House. You and your 'fiddle' were so welcome. We didn't consider our party crashed - just very privileged by your visit. We have a daughter to someday become a bride. You will be on our list to call.
Thanks Again,
Barbara

Dear Karen,
Jim and I wish to say thank you for your beautiful music for Christy's wedding. Christy and Jan and I could not have been more pleased. Your wonderful service and total support of Christy's wishes was greatly appreciated. Everyone at the wedding, including the Ivy Hills staff, commented on the music you and your group played. Our guests were delighted! You really took time to listen to Christy, and that kind of service is not often found today. We feel we should let you know how happy we were.
We will highly recommend you to anyone we know. Feel free to use our name anytime you need a reference. We are very glad we chose the strings at this happy occasion!
The wedding was perfect and you helped make it so!
Thank You,
Jim and Carol McNeal

Dear Bobbie and Karen,
Michael and I want to thank you so much for providing such exquisite music at our wedding. Truly, no one makes those strings sing as sweetly as you do. The pieces you played were very moving, and I can think of no better accompaniment to our marriage vows than you and your harp and violin.
Thank you again for adding such a special, personal touch to our wedding ceremony. We're forever grateful to you.
Sincerely,
Holly and Michael
