"I ordered a Singing Valentine for my parents in Syracuse from your website and they were just thrilled. They are 86 and 88 years old and living alone. One of the remaining pleasures in my Dad's life is listening to good music. They couldn't stop telling me about all those women singing so beautifully and looking so nice. You certainly brightened their day. I am so glad I thought about doing it. Thank you for a special treat."
Elaine Macrillo, after receiving a Singing Valentine for her parents
