Hi Marie –

Thank you for your e-mail and for letting me know Shannon – she is a delight.  I really like Shannon’s approach to life – she is optimistic, positive, and giving.  I am clearly still learning about her, but these traits shine through.  She likes to laugh and also has the ability to discuss serious topics.  She seems driven in all that she does – be that work, friendships, or recreation.  She is social and engages well with anyone – bartenders to my children.  I love her love of animals.  She is no nonsense, but not overly judgmental.  She has a variety of interests and abilities.  Last, but certainly not least, she is “easy on the eyes,” as you suggested.

You all have been fantastic.  Attentive, helpful, and perhaps most importantly, encouraging.  The system that you have set up allows for folks to be comfortable knowing that the person they are meeting has been “vetted” via your screening.  That gives an instant additional level of comfort, which allows your clients to move on to the more important stuff.  Plus – it is really awkward to ask someone on a first date if they have ever had a bankruptcy.  :)  I have appreciated your responsiveness and attention to detail.  Not to mention, you seem to be a very nice person, which makes it very easy to be vulnerable and work with you.

Thanks again for all of your help!  If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.

Happy, Happy New Year!!
