My mom who has always been the voice of reason for me throughout my life and my dad for reminding me when I was young to always be happy and thankful with what I have.

I hear my father
I hear my dad telling me to always reach for the stars and the world will be my oyster!
My Mommy
I hear my mommy telling me to always reach for the moon because even when you stumble, you will land on a star.
My mother
My mother, who was the most nurturing and loving parent a person could ever hope for. Her warmth stays with me wherever I go, and is a constant inspiration for me to be the best mother I can be possibly to be my own children.
My Mother
I hear my mother speaking to me. Sometimes in a loud, and obvious way, and sometimes in a soft and soothing way. Her complete confidence in me and steadfast belief that I could do anything has always given me a cushion to land on. And her resounding faith in God is the single most important gift she gave me. Her faith, our faith, gives me courage every single day.
My Father
My father, who through years of unending true and absolute love, as well as a great deal of patience has blessed me with the self confidence to tackle anything I choose in life.
My Husband, Chuck
Chuck, supports and encourages me in being the best person I can be. Who loves me unconditionally and lifts me up when I need dusting off! He inspires me to work harder, tougher and smarter. He is our family’s rock!
My Grandma, Dora
Later in life she battled Alzheimer’s disease so many things she said were incredibly repetitive but one phrase has always stuck with me: “Sit here, sit here.” Oh what I wouldn’t give to sit beside my grandma now.
My Father
My father always said that it was our duty to help others that were less fortunate than ourselves because not all people are equally blessed in life. Compassion and kindness towards others is essential in life! I try to live by those words everyday!
My grandmother, Delia Tighe
I hear the voice of my grandmother, Delia Tighe. Nana’s Sunday dinners helped shaped my childhood and instilled in me my love of family and faith in God. For my mother, my sisters and myself, Nana encouraged us to be confident, independent women. I hope that I am able to pass these same life lessons onto my own daughters with the same grace that Nana always had.
