I wanted to personally thank you for all you did in helping me get [our client] set up with an interpreter and the way you went the extra mile to help.

I will certainly contact you again if we are in need of someone to help us with interpretation. The interpreters that were here at Sealy were wonderful and very professional. The young man especially fit right into the situation. . . you would have thought he was a Sealy employee the way he explained everything--both that I met were just great.
