Dear Allison,
How are you doing? Things are
getting back to normal here in
California. Just incase you're
wandering I'm the one that played
and sang Day Star during vocal
technique this past year at the
school(08). I just wanted you to
know how much I enjoyed being there
and learning all your secrets for
singing. Thank you for everything
you did for me and the other
students. And by the way, you need
to call and get onto mom, she
hasn't quit talking or singing.
God Bless,
William Taylor II

Dear Allison,
You could never have guessed your music ministry would reach that far away! You are annointed with a very special gift, and you have used it effectively, to give back all the glory to the Giver. I have been so blessed with your music. Your voice is of such distinctively unique quality. I could pick it out from an unpublished song in my sleep! The way you sing about that promise coming down the road! I cant forget "You Aughta Been There" on Red Rocks, God leads His people along and my all time favourite "I will Glory in the Cross". esp the way you uniquely sing "Unworthy to feast from the table of life
‘Till God made provision for me" Please keep on singing. We may not meet on this planet but I am sure when all of God's singers get home, I shall be there, to hear you sing the song of Moses and the lamb.
Please ensure the distribution of your music also reaches Southern Africa in a big way. We love your music but often struggle to get it, often having to buy directly from Europe or the Americas.

Praise God for the gift of your music. We hope to use He's Worthy with streamers to offer praise to the Lord at a Woman's retreat in June. My first time hearing your music was in Philadelphia this year. When I had opportunity to meet with you after the concert I shared with you how your praise blessed me. Well now,prayerfully,it will bless others also who may have not heard. To God be the Glory! Thank you for using your gift in such a powerful way. P.S. I also used your song Naaman to teach the children the biblical account during our evening Bible study class last month. It was great.It made the bible lesson come alive for them .Thanks and may God continue to bless you and allow you to continue being a blessing to others.

Dear Allison and Brian,
You are a wonderful couple. Allison, your musical abilities are given to the Lord, and He is honoured. Fortunate to have heard you sing at several live concerts through the years, and observe your joyous spirit, it is no wonder you have people love you wherever you go!
Brian seems like a devoted husband and you must be very thankful to have such a capable manager who believes in you! Brian you are an excellent photographer...favourite photo of Allison is at your photo shoot where she is looking out the bricked wall window, as a frame for her beauty! Although it is difficult to have the photographer in the picture, it is great to see you both together in the photos. God bless your marriage, renewing your love and appreciation of each other. Together, you are making a difference!!
Your training of others, seems like a way of investing in eternal rewards! Blessings Sharon

Allison, I just wanted to let you know that although you are not here in your childhood hometown, your music is. I play your CD's while I am sitting at my desk. I must say that I receive a true blessing in your music and the words that you share. I checked your schedule but you aren't schedule anywhere near hear until in June and that is in Somerset. Is that an open event for anyone to attend? I would love to see you again. Keep up the wonderful ministry. May God continue to enrich and bless both, you and Brian's lives.
Love in Christ,Ramona

Dear Allison,
Yesterday, my family drove almost five hours to the Homecoming Tour in Worcester, Mass. The piece of paper that we had listing all the artists that would be there didn't include you. I was overjoyed when I saw your booth and found out that you were in fact there. I have never been to a concert of any kind before and all I can say is IT WAS AMAZING!! I love your voice and the songs that you sing. I can't wait to see you again and maybe this time I'll get to meet you! Thank you so much-

Hi Allison, I just wanted to tell you that I was thinking about you and praying for you and the other Homecoming Friends as you did those first two concerts without Anthony at the piano. I read posts on Gaither.com about how they went and I know how hard that was for all of you. I admire you all for continuing to sing and worship the Lord even through the tears. That tells all of us fans how genuine you all are. There are times that I have pictured myself singing with all of you. It would be such a wonderful experience singing with a group that gets as deep into worship as you all do. I would love to get that deep into worship when I sing and haven't quite felt comfortable enough to just let myself go that far. So I admire all of you for that. Maybe that's one thing that I can fix at Stamps-Baxter. Anyway, I hope and pray that you all are alright after those difficult concerts. I love all of you so much. In Christian Love, Michelle Darling

Have enjoyed your music for many years. We were members of Pisgah Heights Baptist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio when you would come up from Kentucky to sing for us on Sunday Evenings. Have followed your ministry ever since. Would love to know if you will be in the Winston-Salem, NC area any time soon. Would love to see you in person again. Have watched almost all the Gaither Videos. God Bless you in all that you are doing. Laura Lewis

I grew up listening to the Speer family and I have my Grandmother's "shaped-note" song books. God bless you on the Journey. Heaven gets closer every day and my Mom and Dad are singing with all the singers, and piano players, who have gone Home to Glory !! Brock Speer was the best. I am glad Faye Speer rode on a 4 wheeler ! Thank you for sharing the pictures. God Bless you all!! Shirley Rick

Dear Allison, I can't even believe I have found a way to finally reach you all these years. The week I accepted the Lord into my life you happened to be the very first Gospel singer I had ever heard sing and the Lord spoke to me through you in such a mighty way. YOu probably can't remember me but I will always have a special place in my heart for you. It was in Merrillville Inidiana at Pastor Ron Richmond's church called the Southlake CHurch of the Nazarene on Route 30, Jesus had only been in my heart for 1 week, my husband and my oldest (only 1 1/2 years old then) met you in the lobby afterwards and you shared so much love and warmth to every person but I felt that you were there for me personally that day, I really needed to hear someone connect with me in the way of music since music was the only gift then that I had to give to Christ, I felt that through your music we connected. That day you shared with me that you truly only had one prayer request and that was to pray for direction for you and your spouse in having a child. Throughout the years not knowing how to reach you I wanted you to know so many times that I was infact praying for you and it wasn't an idle promise to pray, that I really and truly did...I never could find out what came of it? Along these past 15 years or so, I would play your cd's ( the only ones I could ever find...which are only 2) and You would help me find peace in the midst of the storm...which happens to be my favorite song you sing..I have got my very own fan club (unoffically) it's a group of friends that I played your music to and once they heard it they too were hooked...since the 2 cds I have purchased I have been unsuccessfully searching for more, my friends will ask me frequently if I can help them find any of your music and all I could do is direct them to the gaither tapes and the ones I already have. I know in my heart that your ministry is from GOd and that you have touched so many lives along the way, your rewards will be waiting for you in HEaven. Your inspiration in my life has lead to my ministry as well... I being a worship leader now and a licensed minister and soon to be missionary I find that when I am at my waekest He gives me strength and so many of those times I find hHis strength through your music...Like I said before music is my connection to Christ it is the gift GOd gave me way before I even knew Him and I use it to Glorify Him every single day of m,y walk with Him....Keep your faith and Keep on Singing..Even though not many have heard you the Lord tells me to tell you Matthew 25:21..."Well done good and faithful servant! You have been faithful...... I wish you all of the Lord's best my sister in Christ, Sincerely, Christina (and fans!) ps. I truly hope you get to read this and that I may get a chance to hear from you...maybe you'll get to come to my church and sing one day?

Enjoyed worshiping with you at Timothy Barnabas last week. When I heard you sing "Oh My Glory, Glory, Glory" I knew I had to share it with my kids - especially my 4 year old. We now have the CD and it is their number one requested song! Thank you for sharing your God given talent - what a blessing!

I just want to say that I thoroughly
reveive a blessing each time I watch and rewatch the Bill Gaither Homecomings. I was saddened to heat of Anthony Berger's death, but comfort is in knowing that he is truly home and reunited with all of the other saints of the Homecoming group. I pray God's blessing and comfort for his family.
God bless all of you as you minister through your music.
Shirley
