Message: Hi Uncle Mark! It's Elyse. I wanted to search your website and I saw you! I remembered how the band's name was written, Mommy did not. I recognize all of your band members from the wedding. I miss you and Aunt Allison. I am going to get to be on the stage soon too for dance recital. I would like to come visit you and Aunt Allison again. Maybe Daddy can buy me a ticket. Your band plays very nice music. Do you ever play for a younger audience? Okay bye bye. I miss you. Elyse
