Not always an easy task and especially difficult without appropriate support.

Her greatest gifts are her two sons Jack and Sam who make her walk her talk everyday. She enjoys playing tennis, loves attending comedy shows & eating sushi with friends, playing blackjack, being entertained by astrology and reading every darn thing she can make time for.
