My heroes are my dad, who died in 2012, Abraham Lincoln, Maximilian Kolbe, Pope John XXIII, Golda Meir, Winston Churchill, Brother Austin, my grandmas Lizzie and Tillie, my mentor Jesse Wheeler, and my mom, Marcella, who died in 2008. **//

//**Favorite Quotes **//

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." Plato (427 BC - 347 BC)

"All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." Sir Winston Churchill

"A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water." Eleanor Roosevelt

"Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it’s between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” - Mother Teresa

"Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."--Steve Jobs
