Connie S., Pennsylvania - 6/15/2005

Laurie, Thank you so much for designing the beautiful colon cancer bracelet. It means so much to me every time I wear it. It's not just a piece of jewelry. I looked for so long for something to recognize colon cancer. I love it! It's so very special to me. Thank you!

Diana E. - 5/18/2005

Laurie, I really liked your stuff. I'm trying to make up my mind about a graduation gift and one of your bracelets might be just what I need. I'll let you know!

April K., Jasper - 3/1/2005

Thanks so much for creating this bracelet! I put mine on as soon as I got it and I have worn it every day. Several people have asked me about it, and I love that because it gives me an opening to educate people on it. Most people don't even know what endo is or they think it isn't a big deal.I have told everyone about your site. Thanks again!

Heather, NY - 2/28/2005

I just wanted to say thank you for my bracelet. It is so beautiful! It means so much that this bracelet is for endometriosis awareness and that some of the profits are going to the endometriosis association. Being an endometriosis sufferer, this bracelet means the world to me. I will wear mine proudly and my mom can not wait to receive hers as well. Thank you so much and I can not wait to show off my gorgeous new bracelet!

Laurie (Lighthouse Gems):
Heather, I hope that you and your Mom enjoy your new bracelets!

Betsy B., Cincinnati, OH - 2/24/2005

Betsy, It was great working with Ann on the Endometriosis Awareness bracelet. Best regards

Dianne, Maryland - 2/23/2005

My dad bought an endo awareness bracelet for me. It is beautiful and I love it. Thanks for donating to the cause!

Laurie (Lighthouse Gems):
I'm glad I can help, at least in a small way, to raise awareness for Endometriosis. Enjoy your bracelet!

Hope L., NJ - 2/23/2005

The bracelet to help endo awareness is magnificent. I can't wait to show it off.

Laurie (Lighthouse Gems):
Thank you, Hope. I'm so glad that you like the bracelet!

Candy, VA - 2/22/2005

I am so excited that you created a ribbon for endo awareness, especially when part of the sale goes to the Endometriosis Association! Can't wait to see what it looks like on!

Laurie (Lighthouse Gems):
Hope you enjoy your new bracelet!

Emelia, Pompton Plains, NJ - 2/7/2005

Hi Laurie, I received the bracelet in the mail on Wednesday morning and raced over to my Mom's to give it to her. She was extremely touched by it. She just kept saying, Oh my, it's beautiful".
Thank you very much for making such a beautiful bracelet for such a great cause. My Mom is going to show it to all of her friends that have also be affected by breast cancer so I think you can expect a few more orders from Canada.
Thank you again and thanks for the speedy delivery.
Sincerely, Gary

Amy B., Annandale, VA - 11/25/2003

I can't believe that I received my bracelet already. It fits perfectly. I've wanted a mothers bracelet for a long time. Now if I can only put it away until Christmas. Doubtful.

Laurie (Lighthouse Gems):
Why wait until Christmas when you can have it now? :-)

Patricia F., Chantilly, VA -  11/24/2003

Of course you can! I'm glad that YOU'RE enjoying it!

Thanks Laurie...I'll be back!

Kathy C., Downingtown, PA - 11/17/2003

What a wonderful way to keep our Christian virtues always on our mind and in our sight as represented through the various colors in the salvation bracelet. I love your web site references as much as my jewelry! Congratulations and thank you.

Laurie (Lighthouse Gems):
Thanks for your encouraging comments. God bless!

Lori J., Bremerton, WA -  11/14/2004

The bracelets are more beautiful than I could have imagined. The American Cancer Society card arrived on the same day. I was deeply touched and will cherish them long after my dad has passed. Thank you. I have had many people become emotional when I explain what the bracelet represents. I have printed your web page so that those who ask may purchase one for their friend or love one. Thank you.  ~Lori J.

Lisa M., Springfield, VA - 11/10/2003

Saw you at the craft fair this weekend. I love your jewelry! I've sent your website to my husband with my wish list! I look forward to seeing you at other craft fairs.

I'm so glad that you like the "Heart of Hope" of bracelet.

Mary Beth H., Pensacola, FL - 10/10/2003

I own several pieces of your handcrafted jewelry. Everyone compliments me when I wear them. I thought you would enjoy seeing a picture of me wearing a Lighthouse Gems necklace, bracelet and earrings which were given to me as a gift. I have also purchased several Faith bracelets as gifts. The recipients are very happy with them and it made me feel good to give such beautiful and meaningful gifts.

I'm sure I will be ordering more jewelry from you in the future!

Laurie (Lighthouse Gems):
Thank you so much for sending me a picture. You are the best advertisement yet!
