Here's a testimonial: Oh my gosh!! I love your amazing insight! I just cried. I love the way you really listened to my ideas andbrought my legacy to life. I LOVE THIS SCRIPT! And so much more to come!! You are brilliant! I was doing research last week on flowers and loved how you incorporated the Purple Passion flower! Ryan, I am so blown away and happy! I had no doubt you would write something cool, but this is above and beyond fantastic what I expected. I had confidence it would be amazing, but you made it so heartfelt and the energy is phenomenal. - Barbie Griewe "The Winkin' Pals​
