Yaremis:
laughter's contagious
an epidemic of mirth
is what the world needs

Sara (in honor of her brother Dan):
hear tunes with Sara
eat some burgers by the sea
perfect day for Dan

Adam:
a life in the arts
the magic is in doing 
when all else is loss

Gretchen:
she is living proof:
if you follow the music
music follows you

Shahla:
just look at those boots
if you need fashion advice
she's the one to ask
