"Marni Rivera, aka Yellow Mommy, is one of those special people whose main mission in life is to enhance the lives of others. She does it with an abundance of energy, enthusiasm, and warmth. She understands that the best thing we can do for our kids is to help them develop good character – to be kind, caring, honest, responsible – so they can be good citizens and make the world a better place. This is her mission and her passion." — Dr. Hal Urban, Author, Life's Greatest Lessons

Your heartfelt sympathy and contribution continues to overwhelm us and is greatly appreciated by the family of Officer Youngstrom, every member of the Contra Costa CHP and the entire California Highway Patrol statewide. The generosity and power of the human spirit has truly left each of us with an indelible mark that will carry us forward. Officer Youngstrom's legacy of honor, integrity and service will continue through all of us." — J.L. Fenner, Captain, Commander, Contra Costa CHP
"Your posters were used along with the kid's art to create a service project for our nearby retirement home. Our schools word of the month was "grateful ". Your Grateful poem poster was used for this project. We walked to the retirement home and had the children recite the poem, hand them each the picture they drew and a handout of the poem we sang. I wasn't sure who got more joy out of this project, the kids or the adults. Their faces were priceless. Thank you for the continuous inspiration and creativity. The world needs more givers like you." — Marie Lasker, Director Larson's Children Learning Center
"Marni. What a touching segment. How good of you to send such a great message to your children and bringing in the Lafayette students." — Mary Maddux, Lafayette School principal
"Thanks, Marni! We appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness. Thanks for all of your hard work! You are very special." — Leda O'Callahahn, Sandy Hook Promise volunteer
