“Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.” —Anthony Brandt
First and foremost...
All credit for the person I am today, my life, and my journey belongs to the Divine, who is my God, creator, protector, and refuge. Without you, my life would be meaningless. Everything that I do is to glorify you and show your amazing love and blessings to the world.
To my family...
I love you more than life itself! Thank you for always inspiring me and giving me a huge reason to continue growing and learning. You are all such a blessing in my life.
In remembrance of my Mom (December 4, 1955 - December 10, 2022)
You believed in me and encouraged everything I ever wanted to do in life. You never judged me and always kept an open mind when we talked about anything. Even though I made it my mission to love and protect you, you truly were always my rock and my biggest fan. You taught me resilience, forgiveness, acceptance, and how to be humble. I love you and I will forever remember your loving, gentle soul.
In remembrance of my Dad (October 1, 1953 - January 28, 2021)
As tough as you were on me, you inspired me to be the greatest and most independent that I could. You always gave me a reason to laugh, even if you were the “butt” of the joke. Because of you, I learned to stand up for myself and share my voice with the world. Despite our differences, it was through you that I learned the importance of patience, hard work, dedication, and how to love unconditionally. I love you dearly and no matter what, I will forever be daddy's little girl.
