	Thanks for the beautiful portrait of our beloved Molly "Boo Boo." She was so special to us and very popular with all of our friends. Since she spent most of her time by the front door greeting visitors and students, we hung the portrait in our front hallway so everyone will still be greeted by her when they enter. You captured her spirit and beauty with great accuracy. Amazing! — Marie VanVuuren, Greensboro, North Carolina
