Here are some "Pink Notes" submitted by readers

    Name: A friend (Pink Note #1)
    Why she's noteworthy: Well, as I read the book, every time I read a pink
    note I thought of people in my life that have and do inspire me. It is so hard
    to decide who to begin with so that is why I titled it #1 so that I can
    eventually write about the others! I want to start with a very good friend who
    I met in high school...and then she moved far away. We have stayed in
    contact through the years, which I am very grateful for. She is such
    an example and inspiration to me because she has always shown me how to
    be cheerful and happy no matter your circumstances and this is very hard
    to do at times! She has worked very hard  and has followed her dreams
    which have led her to great success and I am very proud of her!

    Name: Marie Chilton
    Why she's noteworthy: She is an amazing example. She's going to BYU
    on a Hinckley Scholarship. She is hard-working, diligent, kind, and has
    amazing integrity. She accomplishes anything she sets her mind to. She is a
    great friend, loves others, and has amazing perspective on life. I want to be
    just like her.

    Name: Emily A.
    Why she's noteworthy: Emily is a little 14 year old girl who has had
    leukemia three times in her short life. Recently, in December, she had
    a bone marrow transplant and is now doing much better. The thing that
    amazes me is that she has remained happy the entire time. Even when
    her hair fell out, she simply pulled out the hats and bandanas and
    kept going. Emily is a really close friend, and I have never once heard
    her complain or wonder why God let this happen to [her.] She has inspired
    so many people. She is the brightest, cutest, most positive girl I have ever
    met! I wish everyone in the world could meet her

    Name: Amy G.
    Why she's noteworthy: Amy is everyone's best friend. There has never
    been a lonely person that Amy does not immediately go and comfort.
    Amy has the amazing talent of knowing when someone needs a lift-up.
    Not only is she a friend to everyone she meets, she's the friend that
    everyone wants to be friends with forever. She's amazing.

    Name: My sweet older Spanish neighbor
    Why she's noteworthy: She parks in the handicap spot at our apartment
    complex and every day slowly walks out to her car and always stops when
    we have a window or the sliding glass door open to smile and say hello and
    especially to talk to the children. Last week she brought my two kids,
    Elisabeth and Charles, some flip-flop frosted sugar cookies. Just seeing her
    makes me happy.

    Name: Scott (my hubby)
    Why he's noteworthy: He goes to school full time (finishing up his masters
    degree), works with a civil engineering firm part-time, magnifies his calling in
    the Elders quorum presidency, plays with the kids whenever he's home and
    they're awake, helps me (mommy) with bathing the babies and changing
    diapers and all the other household chores whenever he's available, and
    for some reason he adores me. He's absolutely wonderful!
