My mom is very special to me. She has done a lot for me. She's helped me with homework and other things. I also think she is so special because she has a job that helps kids. Thanks Mom for being so great.

Cliff the Mailman is a VIP to us because rain or shine he's like our rock...words of encouragement from him when needed...or perhaps its the way he takes the time to always ask how we're doing...either way we love to see him in our office everyday. Any man can do his job but no man does it better! For all the times we've called on him and he's always come thru for us...GREAT job Cliff! --The gals at AGF

You are the best "example" any church could ever have! You treat people the same no matter who they are. You show great concern about everyone. You are a great friend to all. But to us you are really special in so many ways. Way to many ways to count here. We greatly appreciate you and all you do for everyone around you. Curt and Edna S.

I met Cyndie several years ago at a workshop. Our lives have crossed paths several times since. She is now my neighbor and an intigral part of the shift that we are now starting to experience. Cyndie is very kind, generous, loving, caring, nurturing and I am sure, has many other fine attributes. Most of all, I am very grateful for our friendship. Cyndie is the type of person that would give you her last dime if she felt you needed it more. She is always there when you need her. She has been more than helpful to me with several projects that I have going on. She is a great asset to the Dolphin World Wellness Center and is currently acting as its program director. Cyndie, I can't thank you enough for all that you have done for me and for being a genuine friend! Thank You! Tiki Nelson

Kathy is a very unique lady she is always smiling and ready to talk about anything. She goes out of her way to make people happy. She can give you uplifting advice that just states "you are doing the right thing keep it up" There is hardly a dull moment aruond her and to hear her laugh will warm the coldest heart. She is one of the sweetest people I know and I am proud to be her friend. She really is a true VIP and I thank her for being in my life. Squirrel

friend to friend vip

Tennessee
Susanne, I am sending you this badge for being the kind of person you and are for being the friend you are to everyone you meet. And, especially for being a friend to me and my family for all of these many years. I would hope that I could be the kind of person that you have been over the past year and still have a smile and say the kind things that you still say and do. You have been a devoted wife to Lowell and given him the care that I would hope that I could give if there was a time that I was put in that position. I know there were times you would have liked to give up, but you hung in there with your entire being. You made his life wonderful and I know he knew that right up the the end. Even though I have not been there for you physically, you know that I have been there in heart and my prayers were always for you and Lowell. I hate that we have lived so far apart and you moved to some little burg in the hills to make the man that you loved happy, and, he was a happy man. I hope that I never have to walk in your shoes, (and you have some funny shoes), but if I do I hope I can fill them as well as you have. You have no idea how much love and respect that I have for you, and how much I hated not being there for you in the end. And this is why I consider you a VIP

daughter to father vip

Here begins the journey of Badge 000199 and it begins with a very important person in my life, my dad, Ric Hunter. Dad, you have always been a source of support by always having a positive and optimistic perspective and I want to thank you for that. I do not think there is an issue that you cannot offer a helpful word about. You might think that you could have spent more time with me growing up or done this or that differently, but I want you to know that I have always felt loved and taken care of. We both have changed and have grown closer over the past few years to which I am grateful for. I feel like we have learned a lot about each other. Not only have you been a great dad, you have forever been my hero for your dedication to this wonderful country. After serving decades in the Air Force flying jets and retiring as a Colonel, you just could not stay away! You sacrificed your “freedom” and joined the Civil Service to help the war efforts. I am proud of you and I love that you followed your dreams. You are an extraordinary influence and deserve acknowledgment for it. This badge has a tribute to you… it will forever display your bird of choice, an F-15, in the upper left corner to guide its way to many more VIP’s. Let’s keep it going! I love you, Shaina

I have had the good fortune of having so many great people in my life it took a lot of thought to come up with my V.I.P. Never the less i must acknowledge my sister in law, Lora Sapp. She is smart, funny a very family oriented loving person. Not only does she take care of her loved ones she is responsible for a great many patients and employees of The Candler Telfair Pavillion in Savannah Ga. Every day woman afraid of a life threatening Breast Cancer possibility pass through those doors. Unsure and uncomfortable at the very least. Lora and her employees treat everyone with warmth, caring and compassion that is to be recognized. My experience a few years ago was a good one primarily because Lora was so comforting i just knew in my heart that I did not have cancer and that was much in part to Lora. I give praise to God for putting yet another wonderful person in my life. Everyone should be so lucky to have a beautiful Sister in Law like mine. Inside and out.

first i want to thank elisa for thinking of giving me the badge! now i'm giving the badge VIP badge to my friend, lee hurst. i've known lee for over a decade; which means most of his young life! when he was six years old, he drew a beautiful ocean scene for a birthday present for me -- i was so touched by his thoughtfulness at such a tender age -- and astounded by his artistic ability. i framed and still proudly display his lovely gift. as i'm watching him grow, i'm so pleased with the joy he brings his parents with his A+ honor roll grades; his participation in martial arts, church, and family-related activities. he is an outstanding representative of his generation! and i am so proud of him; and happy that we are friends. i know that one day, i'll be able to say, "oh, yes, i knew him when he was just a little boy -- and look at him now!". i'm so glad for the opportunity to tell lee just how much he means to me.

Jessica(jessers to me)Ganson is a most BEAUTIFUL girl!! and all those who know her agree. jessers came into my life about 15 years ago, while she was still a young teenager. i've watched her grow into the MOST beautiful girl. jessers is physically beautiful, a trait that most men will not deny. she makes it so easy to love her. but its not because of her physical beauty. its because its something that comes from the inside. im trying to view people as God does...from the inside where the heart lives. but when you have someone like jessers who is so beautiful, and you couple that with her inner beauty that comes from her heart........well i almost cant stand it!! its a combination that is so unbeatable, so rare, a pure joy, such a blessing to all who come in touch with her. and yet, for those of us who are privaledged and honored to be a part of her life, it just makes us more richly blessed. i love you jessers and would be proud to shout it from the rooftops of downtown Orlando! i am one(among the many)who is blessed by our Creator through you. im grateful im part of your life. you are a WINNER!!! i love you, ricky

I’m presenting this V.I.P. badge to Steve King, my former boss, my mentor, my biggest cheerleader and above all my “Radio Dad”. Over the past couple years Steve has really been a great influence in my career, and life. No matter what he was always there with his door open so I could stand in the door frame and talk to him (with exception of that one time when I actually went into his office and sat down). He’s given me the “you can’t wear that out to an event” lecture, and grounded me (two weeks with out pay) :0( just like any good “Radio Dad” would. He’s given me the motivation and criticism that I need to take over Radioland! In a pool of sharks he was my lifesaver keeping me afloat and helping me survive the blood bath that is Radioland. And I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. For all theses reason and SO MANY more he is a V.I.P. in my book---Samantha Cervantes :0)

She can be headstrong and loving all in the same sentence. I love her for all the qualities god has given her. Tahnk You,,,, your friend Phil

son to father vip ask me why

MI
Dad you mean so much to me and have helped to define who I am. I've learned alot from you about alot of things. Duck hunting,love of old cars,to painting and too many others to list. The thing that stands out the most to other people is my work ethic, which of course I got from you. "Always work hard" To me you are the true definition of a Yooper. With all the respect and love that deserves. Ilove you dad. John

Rick Hurst (Ricky!!!) is one of the greatest people I know. He is a servant to others--always putting others before himself, which is a rare type of individual these days. Anytime I have needed help with something, especially when my husband is deployed, he is over within minutes to lend a hand. He is also so great with my little boy--he always seems to know when the little guy has worn me out and I just need a little help. Besides everything else, he is hilarious and always brings a smile to my face. Thanks, Ricky, for being my brother in Christ and personifying Christian living and giving. Michelle
