We've been adjoined to each other since our days at Ligon Middle School. We've cheered the Ligon Little Blue Devil's to victory, practiced hours in high-heels, me one row behind you in band, and you to my right on the softball field. We've competed against each other at band competitions and we've jumped up and down for the Tarheels. You are my best friend, my mentor, my inspiration and my Maid of Honor.

I remember when our parents called to let me know my baby sister was born and only hours separated us from sharing the same birthday. I'm proud to have such a beautiful sister that looks up to me--I'm sorry down to me--she is an inch or two taller than me. We've shared our moments of torturing each other and it's only fair since I've taught her a few bad habits. You have a smile that brightens up any room and a heart that has loved me unconditionally. Baby Girl, I love you and I'm honored to have you by my side.

My Wendy, you've been the spiritual blessing I've always needed in my life. Your friendship has always been compassionate, stern, and your words  have grounded me more than you'll ever know. We've had great moments that friends share, cruised the Carribean and Bond...James Bond...Shaken Not Stirred partner in crime. You are my best friend and I wouldn't know what I would do without you in my life!

I can't begin to tell the world how much I love and treasure Miss. K. She has brought so much joy and motherly happiness to my life--no words can express the bond we share. When I see her face, hear her voice, and feel her hugs and kisses, I know that God truly blessed me with one of His Angels.
