I have tested contact form several times with steady success in receiving entry data by email message.

Problem is that I cannot get “success” message to show. Please join in if you have any suggestions for getting it to work.

my component nesting is: form holds a flex, and flex holds input input select input success error submit

live page url is [Valuable Work](http://valuablework.com/#contact)
