Re: I am the Survivor Speaker
Hi Becky,
It is almost hard for me to picture you nervous about giving a speech...but the minute you started talking I'm sure that changed quickly. I can't think of a more perfect person to give one then you. You are so articulate and always know the right things to say. I'm thrilled to hear it went so well...just wished I could of been there. Good job Becky...congrats!

Chelee

Thumbs up Re: I am the Survivor Speaker
Hi Becky,

I must have missed this thread when you originally posted it.

You are a true inspiration Becky, and I'm sure you were wonderful when speaking.

Big congrats to you.

all the best
