I have made this page so that I may thank the many people that have helped me along the way. These people hold a special place in my heart and I will never forget all that have done for me--without them, I don't know if I would be where I am today. Thanks guys! (*If you would like, click on anyone's name that is underlined; that will take you to their personal homepage.*)




Matt

~ My husband, Matt, has not only given me unconditional love and support but has also given me my most precious gifts in life, our two daughters, Julianna and Alyssa. He works hard every day of his life to take care of us, and is forever striving to do his best. I appreciate everything he has done for us; I could never thank him enough. He truely is my love, my companion, and my best friend. Honey,I could never fully express how grateful I am for everything you have given me. You prove to me everyday that the girls and I are the most important people in your life. I am forever proud of every accomplishment you achieve, every goal you set and reach. You and our girls mean more to me than anyone else in the world. Never forget how much I love you. Forever yours in love, Your Wife



Julianna Rae and Alyssa Marie

~Our daughters, Julianna Rae and Alyssa Marie, are the absolute lights of my life. They have taught me so much about life, love and myself. They have shown me a love I never knew I was even capable of. And they have taught me not to be afraid of pushing myself to the limits to achieve my goals. I would do anything for our girls--I love them more than my own life. I don't know if I will ever be able to repay them for everything they have given me. Julianna and Alyssa, I love you, my sweethearts--you both are my everything.~



My Family

~My family has been the foundation of my support system--they have always been there for me no matter what. I never doubted their love for me or our daughters. I know they care about all of us very much. Thanks Mom, Dad, and Ryan!~



My Grandfather

~My grandfather passed away in Febuary of '97; I miss him incredibly. I miss his little quirks, his homemade chicken soup that he always had the time to make for me, and the annoying way he would pat the bottom of my chin--his way of saying "I love you". It is his name that became Julianna's middle name--Rae. I just know that he is watching over Jules and that she carries his spirit inside of her. I miss you very much, Grandpop.~



My Grandmother

~My grandmother passed away in May 2005. She was a wonderful grandmother and amazing great-grandmother to our girls. Nothing was too good for Jules and Lyssie, and she never hesitated to show how much she cared about them. Alyssa and Grandmom shared a middle name; I wanted to make sure both our girls had their grandparents names as a part of their own. We all miss her greatly. I miss her taking the girls to play the slots on the Wildwood boardwalk, I miss dressing up in her high heels when I was a child, I miss her fiesty, spirited nature. Thanks for everything, Grandmom! I know you and Grandpop are watching over our girls.~
