"Yesterday" A Special Song Written For Sarah Foxwell


Hello Delmarva, Top Notch Entertainment Is a local entertainment company that wrote a beautiful song the title is "Yesterday" A Song For Sarah. Thomas Clemmons And Will Walker wrote the songs on Christmas Day. Will had an idea for the song and it went from there Travis Waters another artist from Top Notch was more then willing to do the song. Will got ahold of a very good friend of his Preston Gross who played the keys and strings. We then needed a recording studio on short notice, Steven J.Cirile Owner of Park Recording Studio In Ocean City Maryland opened his doors and gave us free studio time and wasn't gonna rest until the song was complete Steve was the missing link we was looking for the whole time. We are truly grateful because he allowed us to share this song with the community and family.

Will And Travis Along With Preston worked hard and countless hours on the song to get it just right. This tragic hit so close to us being we all have kids. This is our way of showing our support and love for Sarah this music is from our hearts.

Myself (Robert Anderson) Along with my partner (Thomas Clemmons) are working on putting this out to the community we are bring this song to the light and trying to raise money for the siblings of Sarah's so Delmarva please come out and show support Friday Night at 6pm at Salisbury Park where will have the song being played and copy's of the song on a CD for sale. The cd will be $3.00. Like i said all the funds are going to Sarah's siblings we are raising this just for them. We DO NOT want NOTHING in return but the support of the community and family. Please don't let this go unnoticed She may be gone but never forgotten.

My Number Is 302-604-8106 Robert Anderson You can contact me for details for the song or the proceeds anytime anyday.

Just wanted to give a special thanks to a few people that has helped us along the way

I never had the pleasure of meeting sarah but she will always have a big place in my heart. She may have only had a short time on this earth but she has touched so many lives even though it has been through this horrible misfortune. Now, some ppl got together and they made a song for this little angel, I know these ppl and they are Great artist and ppl. The 1st time I heard the rough copy I cried my heart out and everytime I hear it now I still cry like a baby. This song is Truly AWSOME. These artist worked day and night on this project to get it just right to perfection for Sarah. They put alot of time and efforts into this song for her they put thier heart and souls in it. I want to personally thank TOPNOTCH ENTERNAIMENT and everyone that has been on board with this since christmas eve when they hit the studio making this song for her. You guys are the best. All of the sales from the Cd's will go to Sarah's Brother's and Sister's ONLY. So please so show your support. Hope to see everyone there at the park @ 6PM.

This is the most heart-touching song Ive heard in some time. I have the distinct pleasure of knowing the artists and most of the people involved with this project personally and thought none of us knew Sarah personally she has touched the lives of us all! I sincerely hope that everyone will support Sarah's siblings and APPRECIATE these talented artists and all of there work!

We DO NOT WANT ANYTHING IN RETURN....We did this song from the heart we dont need exposure for our company, We are known all around but like I said this is from the heart. This is about SARAH not us in in anyway. We came up with the idea and went with it I hope the little pettie stuff just goes past cause this is getting off track from what the message really is.

It is so sad that it often takes a tragedy to bring people together. My thoughts to all of you who find themeselves in the midst of this horrific life experience. And my hats off to the musicians who banded together to immortalize such a beautiful young lady.

Thanks to Wil and his crew for that very beautiful song..We, Sarahs family, purchased a cd tonight at the vigil and we are listening to it again..I only hope that the money made from the CD really does go to the kids..Joe please update us on that..We would like to make sure that no one tries to make money off Haley bugs death.. We are hearing so many rumors and our family has been bashed on your site so much .. we are exhausted .. I would just hate for something that you supported to be a scam for an entertainment group to get there name out there..again Joe please keep us up to date on whatever you are hearing be it true or false..

To Sarahs family,
I am personally involved with the project that Top Notch put together for Sarah and although you do not know me i was there tonight and i can ASSURE you the money is most definatley going into a trust for Sarahs siblings. No one in the Top Notch family wants anything from this nor would we use such a tragedy to gain any type of money for any of us... they did this for Sarah and Sarah only. It was out of the kindness of everyones hearts that was involved with this project..
Although we never met Sarah, as you can tell tonight she touched a lot of hearts!!
We do want to send our condolences out to ALL of Sarahs family. You all are in our prayers now and forever!
Thank You,
Kim Moore

Thank you guys for making such a beautiful song. It really touched my heart. I can tell listening to the song the feelings in the singers voices are genuine. truley beautiful! i had no problem giving my money to this company due to the fact that the young lady had me write my information down on a sheet they had there and said she would update me on the status of the trust and how i can go about donating more money. i had the pleasure of talking to the ladies and one of the males involved with the song and i feel that the money is going to go to Sarahs siblings. There is no doubt in my mind. To Sarahs family i am sorry for your lose and you are in my familys thoughts. Thank you everyone that came out tonight.

For those who DO NOT understand or cannot read! An up and running entertainment company doesn't get ANY points or exposure points for doing a song for a little girl who lost her life in way sooo tragice! WE did this out of kindness and would want the same care for US if the shoe was on the other foot. Truth be told this town isn't a place you would get any type of exposure and no disrespect to ANYONE but WE(Top Notch Ent© are known throughout this town and Sarah's Family doesn't need this added stress of anybody yapping like they have NOTHING else better to do. The proceeds are going into a fun and Joe definately would not put his name on ANYTHING that was a scam. Get real! Have A Blessed Day!

Thanks for the great comments on the song, we hope everyone knows that this song is for SARAH and her SIBLINGS, I understand everyone's concern about the money being raised I (Robert Anderson) have said it plenty of times before, Top Notch Entertainment DOES NOT WANT ANYTHING IN RETURN!!

Joe and I have talked plenty of times on this matter tonight at the vigil as well, and we will soon have a way to buy the song online and once its purchased, it will go directly into the Sarah Foxwell Sibling's Fund. I totally understand that there are scam artists in this world but we would not put our company name and real names on any of this if we were trying to do a scam. Please don't loose focus on the big picture- raising money for the Sarah Foxwell Sibling's Fund. We will keep you updated and I know Joe will.

If anyone has any questions or concerns you can call me anytime 302-604-8106

Thank You
Robert Anderson

Like I said before since my comment was not posted. Robert Kim and the rest of the crew I don`t trust you. So I will sit back and watch for updates from Joe to see where it goes.

There is only one way to make sure the funds go to the siblings:
have a reputable attorney set up a trust for the money that is raised. You then purchase a 529 plan which is a no tax college bond so all interest is non taxable provided it is used for higher education. Problem is that technically the mom or whatever custodian is choosen could effectively cash it, so either get an attorney or bank board to be the custodian of the funds. If this is of interest to anyone have them contact me at email: stevencirile@aol.com so that I can put you in touch with the people who have already raised $15,000. at the Pickles Pub Fundraiser last week. They will let you know exactly what is being done and maybe pool all the money. Contributions can be made even after the fund or bond is purchased.

Just to be clear I only posted the Correct way to set up the Fund because I realized there is so much Distrust about where the funds will be going.
again, I have no intimate knowledge of the case or the family, it's not my business. I helped the guys the only way I could. raising funds for the childrens education or ANY childs education is always a great thing and should be encouraged. The Gaurdians of the kids I am sure are just fine human beings.

It is such a shame when people who try to do a very compassionate, heartfelt thing in producing a beautiful song to help memorialize a beautiful little girl can be so blatantly ridiculed and questioned as to their intent. Top Notch Entertainment and the rest of the people who donated their time and energy to produce this record are to be commended for producing this tribute to Sarah, and I have the utmost faith and trust that they were sincere and honest. And to you who is so "distrusting", what have you done to help this grieving family? Probably nothing but ridicule and question the motives of everyone involved. Show some respect for Sarah's family.

Hello,
First off, I want to thank Joe for giving us the chance to let our voices be heard with comments being good or bad. I am the CEO of Top Notch and I felt the need to address some issues concerning the placement of the funds collected. To everyone who has brought a CD, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It feels so good knowing that we are doing a good thing and it is being well received. At the candlelight service, people cried when they heard the song. People minister too me and my team telling us that Sarah would love the song, and that my team did a good thing. No mean-spirited comments will change how we feel in our hearts...so please stop trying. It's sad that WE thought it would be a good way to give back to the siblings of Sarah, and some of you think we are trying to get rich from this. People, it's $3.00 a CD and it was done by a group of caring, loving people with children. Trust me,, it's not worth attaching your name, face, and reputation on the line for.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the mindset of some of you, but it's just not worth it to try to keep money from this. GOD don't like ugly. To steal from this would be tragic. That person or group would have to answer for that one day. Sarah would ask "Why???". WE couldn't live with that. WE wouldn't want to. This costed us some money to make. Cd's cost, ink cost, label's cost, cd sleeves cost, studio time (would had cost),gas cost. Trust me, it all adds up. And we just ask that you support it. Next week we will have all the info you need on the trust fund and how you can donate or buy the song online. What will be your excuse not to support then? Remember God don't like ugly"...So stop trying to find the ugly in this. Thanks Joe for the post. See you next week

I as a part of this community appreciate the tme and effort that you put into this song although I have only heard a part of the song it is beautiful. It is a shame that we can come together as a community in a tragedy but when someone has down something great to help the cause of the tragedy we attack them. Think about how we all came together and do it again!! First everyone was attacking the family for still accepting donations after the funeral expenses were paid for well you know it does take money to raise children and I am sure her family works but they will have to take time off to help the sibilings of Sarah through this and guess what people these children will need couseling and it is not free so before you jump to conclusions stop and think about how it is not going to be easy for this family to get through this and how they need help trust me if I had money I would donate every penny I could to them just to make it a little easier... they should not have to worry about anything right now they hae been through more than enough!!!

To you the family.... My greatest heart felt sympanthy goes out to you!!!! God has Sarah in his arms now so now I pray that he(GOD) as well as the community wraps their arms aroud all of you!!! With our deapest love from my family to yours!!!!

1:07 What have I done for this family? I have been there with the family since the Amber Alert was issued I searched for her with many for 2 days. I PRAYED with many. Yes the song was wonderful and the thought was awesome. Like I said before where did the monies go what and where is this trust fund they announced the monies would go to? Like the rest of many who put their comments out here I simply expressed mine after seeing who was all involved and until I see where the monies went then I will be gladly willing to say I`m Sorry but until then I won`t. Joe I also would like to tell you Thank You for allowing Tracy and Duane and the rest of Sarah`s family to speak to you regarding this whole heart breaking life experince. RIP Haleybug We will miss you deeply.

I would just like to say that I feel that everyone has done what they felt was "their part" in mourning this precious child and as someone who has given my own blood, sweat and tears to this amazing songs production I will feel really sorry for those people that don't have a copy of the cd on Monday when the details of the fund for Sarah's siblings are released. EVERYBODY has a past....it's just what you do in the present and future to rectify your past that makes you who you are today! R.I.P. Sarah!

Iam from the Netherlands, a newspaper write a song for Sarah ( http://www.spitsnieuws.nl/archives/buitenland/2010/01/stilte_doorbroken_met_song_for.html )my daughters name is also Sarah and then whe take a look omg iam in shock, rip Sarah all our love to the family from Sarah

Anonymous said...

To you, the skeptic, I am glad to hear that you did take the time to participate in the search,as did many of the people involved in the production of this beautiful song. Now I only hope you are "man" or "woman" enough to say you're sorry, as you said you would, when all the information is available about the trust that has been established at the bank. I hope you will take the time to actually thank all the people who gave a lot of hours of heart to put this song together in memory of Sarah. They did an awesome job with no expectation of any reward, except to honor this little girl and help her family.
