“Good morning Ms. Brooks. After receiving your referral from my best friend six months ago about GPS, I felt relieved to know that John and I would not be left to figure out the college process on our own. Thank you for your assistance, support, and professionalism. Abby is a pretty shy kid but because you have such a sweet personality you were able make her feel comfortable and ease her anxiety about the process. We can’t thank you enough for all your hard work with her. We wish you the best in all your future endeavors.”
