I had told my mom I was going to be on MSN (Microsoft) as one of the Ten Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2025. The list came out literally the day she passed away. I wish she could have seen this. I think she would have been very proud. My dad was an entrepreneur, and quite successful; I definitely got THAT gene! I held off on posting this. I didn’t want to take away from the gravity of my mother’s passing.. But I think she would want me to share this. Maybe it will encourage others.
