I probably should add an update as so much time has passed and I'm sure new folks will be reading the thread.

My mom was there for our Installation/Initiation on November 16, 2002. She proudly placed her badge on my chest during initiation!

In December of 2002, we made a holiday trip to Akron, OH where my mom grew up. While there, we met Andrea, who posted several times in this thread and ended up being one of my best friends. Andrea gave us a tour of my mom's chapter's house and took us out for ice cream.

Sadly, on March 10, 2003, my mom passed away.

My sisters were my anchors during that rough time in my life.

We buried my mom in Akron and once again, Andrea was by my side.

I finished out my collegiate years loving my DG experience and continue to be a very active alumna now.

I grew up, got married (Andrea was one of my bridesmaids!), have a beautiful son and another one on the way (due in October - Andrea is also due in October...with a little legacy of her own!). I'm now living in the UK with my little family.

Can't believe how time flies...

I'm so happy DG came into my life. My sisters have laughed with me, cried with me, celebrated with me, and have been my constant cheerleaders!
