Friendship isn’t about who you have known the longest…
..It’s about who came and never left your side. I dedicate my life to you all. You have had a positive approach in my life that served as an on going source of energy and motivation for me. You were my inspiration when I became discouraged.
My Daughter Ginamarie…
Thank you to my beautiful daughter for always encouraging me to stand up for what was right. Thank you for being by my side and walking with me while I got to the next chapter of my life. Thank you for always being confident, passionate and unconventional in your fearless style.
My Husband Solly…
Thank you to my wonderful husband who has made a strong contribution to who I am today. His warmth, not so quiet strength and attitude has been a great influence in my life. I finally met my soulmate who changed the path of my life in more ways that I could have ever dreamed possible with his never ending love and patience. Thank you for keeping me safe and loved.

And A Very Special Thanks to…
