Thank you for a remarkable performance…Conversation about Mortal Coil continued well past dinner that evening. The content of your play and your acting were incredibly moving -- exquisitely portraying the hopes, fears, dreams joys anger of people who just “happen to be dying.” As with all effective art, your play really helped me see familiar situations in a new way. Cheryl Avellant Dir. Of Nursing Services Jacob Perlow Hospice |

We were deeply moved by the text and by your identification with these several persons whom you have come to know. Your production informs us, it sensitizes us as never before to these persons and the many like them, and it motivates us to do something more than we have done, even though we have been in “ministry” for almost seven decades. Thank you for what you have done. The Rev and Mrs. Frank Stagg Dean Emeritus, Baptist Theological Seminary |

I can not fully express my appreciation for your reading of Mortal Coil for our volunteer gathering. I will always be eternally grateful for your willingness to travel top the real ‘South Jersey’….I know that personally I found the play so thought provoking that I still think about all the characters. Various volunteers have asked to borrow the tape because they ere afraid they had missed something as they started remembering some of their own patients that had familiar characteristics of your patients. Beth Daddario Dir. Of Volunteer Services Hospice Care of South Jersey |
Your presentation was certainly well received. Thank you for making our Sixth Fall Conference successful. Your presentation was the perfect ending to a successful educational day. Joanne Sheldon, RN Dir. Of Education Services Hospice of the Western Reserve |
