Melissa shares: “My nominee is actually my daughter, who is a mom to two kids, Morgan and Gregory. I have a very challenging health history and Stacy has been my stronghold through it with me. She does so many things for me from being a “nurse” for me to a sounding board when I just really need someone to listen. She is very involved in my wound care and has received many kudos for how well she is doing helping me. Not only does she help me, she is a full time special education teacher and does many extra things at her job also!! She has rescued me during a panic attack on a Black Friday shopping adventure many years ago when I could still shop on that day! Stacy has the ability to remain cool, calm and collected even when things may be falling apart around her. She is a woman of faith and has raised her children to follow her lead. I am very proud of her !
