Dear Joannie......wow!

I can only imagine what a wonderful lady your mother was judging by how you handled yourself.

Your performance, under the circumstances, will be one of the 2010 Olympic moments people everywhere will remember for years to come. This is much more than just a medal.

p.s. You are "gold" in our hearts!
