Your story hit me right in the heart Evie Clair, I lost my father 5 years ago to cancer as well, Your music has been a great source of strength, courage, and peace as the 5 year anniversary comes tomorrow!! You and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers!!! My heart broke for you as I watched you sing Arms to your dad because I understood what you were going through!!!

Yes I don't know you personally but I saw your daughter on YouTube doing her Audition and I heard say that her father had colon cancer and so I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss and that I know what you are going through because my Aunt passed away from cancer also. So again I'm sorry for your loss.

I saw him while watching Evie Clair's audition, and judge cuts. I cried and wept for days finding out he died. I'm hoping to sing "Vissi d'Arte" to comfort his daughter Evie.

Evie,
You don't know me, but I have watched you on AGT. My sincere sympathy is sent to you and your family. I watched your Dad support you on the show and learned how much of an inspiration he was to you and so many others. He seemed like a wonderful Dad. My Dad passed away in 2011. I know the pain you are feeling and admire your strength so much to be able to sing his favorite song on live TV in his memory. I'm sorry you didn't win the show tonight, but you are a true inspiration for other children, teens and even adults who have lost a loved one. I have worked as a Child Life Specialist in a NJ hospital for almost 20 years. I have supported many families at times of grief. These families would truly benefit from someone like you to show them the strength that is necessary to cope with such loss. Strength like yours is imperative to finish things they started and continue to live with the memory of their loved one in their hearts. Your voice is inspiring and so is your story. I hope you have success in finding a way to use both to help inspire others. You are a very special young lady. May you see that rainbow when you need it most to know your Dad is guiding you, supporting you and always watching over you.

So very sorry for your loss. I know he was very proud of the performances of Evie Clair, and I wish her much luck. I know performing with a heavy heart has gotten to be a hard thing to do. I know my daddy passed away a few years ago, and I had an eye doctor appointment, and went to it, but my eyes were so cloudy with tears, I had to reschedule two weeks later. God Bless this family and know you are being prayed for.

I didn't know Amos, but I related to his story. My father lost a battle with cancer as well after suffering for 6 years. Seeing Amos run onto the AGT stage and hugging Evie after she sang her heart out was so emotional for me and the rest of the world. My love and prayers goes out to Amos and his beautiful family. Evie Clair, you are a symbol of strength, hope and whats good in this world. Music is the only thing in this world that brings us all together. Please continue your dreams as an artist and make your father, your family and the rest of the world proud of you.
