Motherless Daughters, Las Vegas

I was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV and I have 2 older brothers and 1 older sister and I am already an aunt and great aunt. I married my husband Keith Madison 9 years ago and we are now in the process of trying to have a baby. We have been struggling with this for several years now but we do have 3 Pomeranians who we spoil and treat like our babies.

I have a degree in Broadcasting and Interior Design, and I learned all my creativeness from my mom who owned her own gift basket and decorating company, she was not only my teacher but my role model and best friend. My main priority in life has always been family and I learned that from my mother who was the glue and matriarch of our family. I want to help people who are struggling and be there for them just like my parents have always been there for me. I know she is watching over me and continues to be my guardian angel from heaven above. I am part of a Motherless Daughters group in Las Vegas and they have helped me understand this "club" that we did not chose to be in. We have found it easier to get through things when you have others to lean on for support and we pay tribute to all our of mothers every month by helping one another find their strength along this journey. I am grateful to get to continue to pass my moms story along so that others may know the beauty and strength she possessed.
