"Dear Maria Ines Butler, I wanted to thank you for all you have done to help me.  When I look back I see what a long way I have come and realize I could not have done this without you.  It always helps to have someone to talk to about things.  You are a wonderful person and you do a great job at what you do.  One day I hope I can make a difference in people's lives, like you do everyday.  Thank you for everything.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
