2010 Italy Tour Comments
"As we were leaving the Vatican, with a great deal pride, and the moment passed, we saw him. Yes, we ended up seeing and meeting Jesus (James Caviezel - from the Passion of Christ, Count of Monte Christo, Angel Eyes with Jennifer Lopez, etc). Laughter, tears, and all, this is one moment that we will cherish forever. From the tears of overwhelming emotions to laughs about "hugging Jesus." Today is "The best day of my life!"
