Family, friends, music, helping women achieve their goals by working to provide opportunities for financial support. Family: two loving daughters, two amazing grandsons, nieces, nephews, and cousins who continue to provide me with a sense of family. Friends: too many to name but part of my heart through the many experiences of my life. Music: the important part of my life that continues to provide me with the reminder of the love of my life, the comfort when needed, and the joy in my heart that ONLY music can provide. Love my continuing connection with SOLC. Helping women: The organization has shown me the importance of supporting one another and acknowledging dreams.
