Testimonial from Grief Conference, April 30, 2010, Mitchell, SD:
“It is so hard to put into words the way Abby made me feel…Informational, inspirational and motivational…is the only way to describe the message Abby delivered at our ComfortShare conference in April….she truly is blessed with the gift of open honesty. If you're at the point where you want to change your life, Abby’s message is a must! You'll learn more about yourself and other people than you ever thought possible. You will cry, laugh and feel like you have known Abby all your life.”

What a blessing to hear Abby speak. She did an incredible job. I have

"What a phenomenal presentation! Employees’ reviews of Abby’s presentation continue to pour in to our Gatesville ISD Administration office. I have never been thanked so many times for a presentation. Gatesville ISD employees have raved about how Abby’s presentation has affected them. I would recommend Abby to any school district for an in-service program.

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed hearing Abby Rike’s story…what a strong woman!
English As A Second Language Teacher
Thank you for asking Abby Rike to be our guest speaker this year. She was so down to earth and put so much into perspective. I have had a few "Jodys" of my own in the last couple years, and after listening to her story today, I hope I have been the same type of teacher to them as she was to him. I left with a new appreciation for my family and everything we have been blessed with. The sleepless nights with a 3 month old and crazy days with a 3 year old don't seem so bad anymore! Thanks again.
3rd Grade Teacher
I am so glad you found Abby Rike. She was such an inspiring speaker. I enjoyed listening to her. She really touched my heart. Thank you again.
Workroom Aide, Gatesville Elementary
Mrs. Worthington…I’ve been meaning to tell you (and I keep forgetting) THANK YOU so much for getting Abby Rike to come speak to us. It was just absolutely inspiring and I thought about her a lot as I was going through the day today. I just wanted to make sure you knew what an impact she made on me…as well as many others I’m sure. Thank you so much again – I truly was motivated and inspired by her story! Happy 1st day of school!
Testimonial from parent of one of Abby’s former students:
I can never express my gratitude to Abby for all that she did for Emalee; I owe her so much for shaping her into the woman she is and owe so much of her success in high school, college, and in life to her and the special interest she took in her. I am forever grateful and will hold Abby in a special place in my heart.

Abby has an uncanny ability to reach out and touch the hearts of her audience. She left the students and faculty at South Terrebonne High School with a feeling of empowerment and hope. Through her tragedy, Abby has found the ability to help mend the wounded hearts of many.

Abby’s lecture to our fitness center members was fabulous! An emotional high was evident across the room as she shared her story with us. She has a way of connecting with each and every person in the room. Everyone left inspired for change both physically and mentally. We are proud to be on Team Abby!
