Mary Herries, St. Louis, MO: August 30, 2006 - "I am at work and I was talking about some talented girls we know and people said, "we know her!"....Wow about Molly's new roll! We wish you all the best of luck. We were able to see the girls in Gypsy and the girls were awesome! (We actually have a really cute picture of Kaleigh dressed up as Baby June!) I knew Lindsay could sing and dance but I didn't know she could twirl the baton too!..... Good Luck!"

Nicki Amos, Seattle, WA:   March 17, 2006 - "Dear Kim, I wrote an email of praise for your daughters a couple of months ago, and commended you on your family's difficult decision to come home and become a "normal" family again. You wrote me the nicest email. I was interested to see what Molly and Lindsay were doing career-wise and was so thrilled to read that they are once again meeting with such success. Talent just continues to grow when challenged. Molly and Lindsay, "Break a Leg" with all of your upcoming projects!"

Meaghan, New York, NY:   March 4, 2006 - "...You are talented beyond your years....It's awesome that someone so young is living out the dream of so many little girls. Also, the fact that you can hit those high notes in "Smile" and "Hard Knock Life" is pretty astonishing. I bet you can easily do "Tomorrow" as well.....You're such a tiny little bundle of dynamite with amazing stage presence. You've got quite the career ahead of you, Molly. Same goes for Lindsay. Hi Kim, Both of your daughters are adored by me...I'm barely older than Molly at 11 years old, and just wanted to inform you that it seems as if your daughters were just born to perform. I wish I could be at least half as talented as they are.....I enjoy admiring children living out my dream. Seeing your children bounce around a stage is one of the most enjoyable things for me. Best of luck getting Kaleigh up there, too!"

Angela Eiler-Walsh, St. Louis, MO:   March 3, 2006 - "So glad to hear your news! We enjoyed ANNIE so much in St. Louis at The Fox!! Your girls were so good!! The show was adorable! Your little one stole the show!!!"

Anonymous "Fan", New York, NY:   February 28, 2006 - "Dear Lindsay, I wanted to write to you and let you know how great I thought you were in the show. You are one of the best "Molly's" I've seen and you are too adorable for words. You stole the scenes you were in with that huge voice that boomed out of that little body. You absolutely shined and I could tell you were having the time of your life up there. It must be nice to be back home for a while.

I really thought you were fantastic and you are already quite the little dancer. I know there are big things in your future as well. I hope you never stop performing because it was meant for you. God is going to use you in big ways. I am sure you are very busy, but if you get the chance, I'd love to hear from you. I'm so sorry you were in the hospital, but I'm so extremely glad to hear that you are home and doing well! I am praying for you.

Dear Molly, I just wanted to let you know how fantastic I thought you were in the show! You have such immense talent for such a young age and I know the world has not seen the last of you yet. It's nice to be able to be at home for a while and not concentrate on traveling as much. I was involved with the National Touring Company of CASPER: THE MUSICAL a few years back so I understand the schedule.

Anyway, I mainly wanted to e-mail you letting you know that I really thought you shined up on that stage. You were perfect in your part and your voice is already so pretty. I know as you develop it will only become that much more amazing. I was sad to see that you left the tour, but I'm sure it was for the best. I wish you all the best and I look forward to seeing what projects you might have in the future. God will use you as a light in this dark world.

Dear Kim, I also wanted to send you a quick e-mail to let you know how strong I think your girls are. All three of them are beautiful and you must be so proud of them. I was sad to see your girls left the tour but I am so glad they are home and doing well. I just wanted to let you know how great I think your family is and they are in my prayers. God Bless, A fan."

Kaylie Stenger, Los Angeles, CA:   February 4, 2006 - "I read that your time on tour has come to an end. I'm sure it's nice to get back home and get back to a more normal schedule! I can't even imagine how difficult touring would have been with such a large family to think about! I just wanted to let you know I loved seeing your girls in ANNIE in Los Angeles, enjoyed getting to meet you (and Kaleigh), and I look forward to any future performances the girls may take on! You seem to have such a great family, and it's a blessing to see someone else working in that industry with a deep faith and love for God. It is very encouraging to see that!"

January 29, 2006 - "Also in San Antonio we bade farewell to the exceptionally talented Ryan sisters, Lindsay and Molly, in their final week performing as the orphans, "Molly" and "Duffy." To say we will miss them and their entire family is an understatement. We couldn't be prouder of the girls if they were our own. A piece of our hearts goes back to St. Louis with them but we know we will meet again. We'll see you on Broadway Molly, Lindsay.....and Kaleigh!"

Brad Babel, College Station, TX:   January 27, 2006 - "Molly and Lindsay, My wife Tyra and I enjoy visiting the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio and we have seen many shows there. We saw the show on the 21st and WOW! It was really good. We are 28 an 25 and from College Station, Texas. We just wanted to say we really enjoyed both of your performances, so much so I visited your website! That's an impact on someone who does not exactly enjoy surfing the web. Though we have no children of our own yet (we are pregnant with our 1st), we have a niece who is five. Her name is Kelsie and she loves to sing and dance! I told her Mom (my sister) to visit your website with Kelsie. She did and she's already a fan and never seen the show. She can not wait to see it. Congratulations on your Annie adventure. Tyra and I are officially new members in your fan club. We look forward to see your careers blossom should you pursue theatre. Maybe see you again at the Majestic! "Tomorrow" "

Clyde Kramer, San Antonio, TX:   January 24, 2006 - "Attended the show at the Majestic, San Antonio TX. 2PM Saturday the 21st. Went with my 23 yr old daughter. We both enjoyed the show. We talked about how good the show was. And we even noticed how talented Molly and Lindsay were. They looked like they were having fun and enjoying their time up on the stage. As a TV producer/director for the last 28 years my opinion was I thought the show was better the I expected with all the understudies that afternoon. But it went off with very few hitches. Later that night I learned that the girls were leaving the show. I thought what a shame. Hope to maybe see them again in a future show. My best wishes and best of luck."

Tiffany Van Winkle, San Antonio, TX:   January 24, 2006 - "My son Keith and I saw your last show in San Antonio, TX on Sunday evening. You girls are incredible! We are so glad that we got to see you perform; God has blessed you both with great talent! It was the first time that Keith got to go see a show at the theater and what a great show it was. We would also like to say hello to Kaleigh. You are such a cutie. Keith really wanted you to come home with him but has enjoyed looking at the pictures of you on the website! You may be his first love!"

Melissa R. Martinez, University of TX-San Antonio, Head Cheer & Dance Coach:   January 23, 2006 - These girls are wonderful. I saw the show in San Antonio and could not get over how great they were. Congratulations and glad you liked our city. Good luck in your careers!"

Allan Smith, San Antonio, TX:   January 23, 2006 - "To Lindsay: My wife and I saw you and Molly in San Antonio this past Friday. The two of you were wonderful. I hope the Lord continues to bless you and you both will become great actresses as you continue to grow and mature. God has given you both great talent. Use it for his will. I hope you continue your careers and I will watch your web site over the years to see if you are on Broadway. Maybe Disney!! Blessing to you both and your parents."

Carol Vincent, San Antonio, TX:   January 22, 2006 - "I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the final matinee of Annie in San Antonio and your performances. It was nice seeing both of you at the stage door and thanks for the autographs. Good luck in whatever you do next and God Bless You."

Mallorie G., Victoria, TX:   January 21, 2006 - "To Lindsay: Hi! I'm Mallorie G. I saw the production of "Annie" on Jan.21st. It was great and I thought you did an excellent job! So did your sister! I was in our production of "Annie" in our town, Victoria, Texas."

Holli Young, Spring, TX:   January 17, 2006 - "Dear Molly and Lindsay, My mother and I took my 9 year-old daughter to the Houston show on January 15th. My daughter has a very good singing voice and recently had the lead in our church's Christmas Pageant. We thought it would be nice for her to see real professionals onstage. Little did I realize that I would be the one to get such a treat! You girls were fabulous. Molly has a wonderful voice, all the dancing was superb and Lindsay is hilarious. The opening scene brought me to tears with Lindsay's plaintive "Mommy, Mommy." Wow! I am so impressed. The whole cast was great, but you girls really shone. Keep up your hard work. God bless you all."
