Sample Debut

It felt really good to know that we have good people like them coming to support us. Throughout the whole experience, everyone was very understanding and sweet to our family.

I want to start off this evening by giving my appreciation for the people who have played an important role in shaping our lives up to graduation. I want to thank the people that supported us through our heart breaks and our successes, to those who served as a friend when we needed them most, to the people who served us hot food after a long day of school, and who helped make every party and celebration a success. Yes, I am talking about the wonderful people at Chipotle. #ChipotleisLife. Just kidding, I sincerely want to thank our

First off, I want to say thank you to my parents for supporting me. Mom, Dad, thank you for being there with me during difficult times. You support and understand me, this gives me the strength to continue fight through the challenges in life. Without you being here today and by my side, I would have given up. Next, I want to thank the administration. You have all contributed to making this school run smoothly but also have allowed us to have a good time. I, as many others, have enjoyed the monthly walks and fundraising activities, the cultural fashion show and the fun and exciting cultural festival with the live steel bad and African drummers. These are some experiences that some students have never been exposed to. Therefore, thank you for bringing new and exciting initiatives to PS/MS124. Mrs. Babb, you are a very loving and an easy person to talk to. You have made so many positive changes to PS124, one of which is allowing us middle schoolers to have student council. I would also like to thank my teachers, for sharing their knowledge. You have taken the time to explain assignments, make class interesting, challenge us beyond our knowledge, and inspire not just me, but all of us. I want to Mr. Heaton for granting me the position of secretary for National Junior Honor Society last year. This was a great opportunity and that allowed me to play a key role in the National Junior Honor

My family is one of a kind. They support me all the time. My dad comes home each day after doing an eight hour shift and manages all the bill payments. My mom cooks, cleans, goes to job, helps me and my brother with homework, and drops/ picks us up from classes every single day. Last but not least, my brother is always there for me. He shares everything with me, even his favorite chocolates. And he is the one that teaches me the forms that I didn’t get in the karate class. Even though we fight a lot, I couldn’t have asked for a better brother than him. I love my family very much and they will always be dear to

Good Evening! For those of you who don?t know me, I?m Charlotte, the very proud sister of our glamorous Bride. I want to start by congratulating Kari and Ernest, and thanking all of you for coming here today.

Well the holidays are over, and I feel that they were a great success. I would like to thank Rabbi Hal and our Hazzans, Ron Fink, Mayer Grob, Sheila Pour, and Art Todras for wonderful services, but without the following people helping in someway, we could not have had these services: Iris Petersiel, Michael Kornstein, Sam Richardson, Fran Todras, Daniel Elmakis, Deb Lebman, Ellen Bernstein, Marilyn Wiener, Sonya Brockstein, Michael Schoenhaut, Barry Green, Diane Girgente and her ushers, Al Sherman, Craig Hammons, Jeremy & Isabel Schlussel, Tomomi Rubin, Larry Feldman, Jeff Scharf, Lori Shiffman, Philip Perschetz, Elizabeth Harper, Bruce Nordin, Matt Nordin, Tom McClish, and Michael Yetsin

To my amazing and talented nephew’s and niece; Blake, Brandon, Braydon and Brooke. First, I would like to let you all know how much I miss you and how proud I am of all of you. You have been growing so fast and unfortunately for me, I have to experience this miracle through pictures. I have been gone too long, the last birthday I was able to celebrate with you was Blake’s, in Visalia. Please believe me when I say, I think of all of you every day, no matter what I’m doing or where I am.

Thank you Gwynne and Linda for organizing this awesome group ( you rock! ) and to all the subs who have helped us out over the last 5 years. We appreciate your participation, hoped you enjoyed the evening, and willing to help us out again, if the need arises.

I would like to thank for coming and visiting our AVID class. To go up and become a Miss San Joaquin is just really mind-bogglingly crazy! I have so much respect to you. I wouldn’t have the guts just to do any of the things that you’ve mentioned in class. I really admire you for that. To have the guts of steel to do something that might not even work out is just crazy. I also have lots of gratitude for you coming and seeing us even though you were scared to speak in front of us.

To my beautiful wife Hallie Baxter, you have saved my life by giving me purpose and perspective. When I think back about the time I was sitting at that bus stop bench in japan, and you messaged me that day. I didn’t know what to say at first, but as time passed and our love grew our wedding day finally came. I knew when I looked into your eyes that day I found the other half of my heart. Never in my life have I gazed upon someone so kind, strong, beautiful or smart. You have stuck beside me through thick and thin. Without you I would have never laid eyes on our beautiful daughters face. I don’t know where I would have ended up without you. But I know I am grateful to be with you every sec of every day. What I’m trying to say is that you taught

Now a few of the better parts of my duties for the day I get to thank the bridesmaids. I know that BRIDES NAME has given you something already to say thanks

Thank you all for sharing a part of your lives with me and helping me to grow as a student and minister of the gospel. I wish you all a wonderful and safe happy holiday season to you and your families, love , peace, and joy from my family to all of you as advance forward in your education, careers, and all of your endeavors.

To my grandparents, you have paved the way for all of us to follow. You made us a family. You all made every moment memorable and made sure we knew how loved we are. You all light up the room and make everyone feel loved. You two are an inspiration to so many. I am so proud and blessed to call you my grandparents. You give the warmest hugs and make the best food. There is not many places, I feel as loved as I do when I am with y’all. I love you so much.

On behalf of my family I will be reading my final gift to my daughter, Ziraily Pelayo. I’d also like to thank everyone who came out tonight to pay their final respects. The amount of people that showed up shows how many lives she actually touched

Firstly, on behalf of the bridesmaids, I'd like to thank Mike for his kind words and reiterate how wonderful they look and what a fantastic job they have done today. I would also like to say that Sallie looks stunning - as I'm sure you'll all agree. Which really isn't that much of a surprise given we are related.
