Moms Speak Out

Onward By Faith... Dear Gina... I am so happy to hear you are going to use the wonderful gift of storytelling God gave you. I too have saved many of your emails from 2003-2004 not just pig stories, others as well. I loved the way you could tell us about everyday life and make it so funny or exciting. The distrations from my own reality was always so welcomed. I am glad that I saved so many e-mails, they represent a very trying and difficult time in our lives and I will never forget the strength and support we all shared during those tours to Iraq as we held on to each other. -Cheryl Smith, PMM Corporal Colin and Lance Corporal Scott. I, like everyone else on MMO, have been reading, enjoying, and looking forward to your stories. They have put a smile on my face in times when I thought I would not find a smile for a very long time. Thank you, Gina, for the diversion from all the madness. -Barbara Mullen, Wildwood, NJ. Congratulations on the publication of your book. How exciting is that! We can hardly wait for the finished product, 'cause it will bring so much joy and laughter to all who read it. -Anita Neives Brinkman, PMM of two, California. Thanks so much for the encouragement throughout these trying times. You've helped me to cry and to laugh! What a blessing to let go of some of these emotions! I feel like I just about know you after all the support, prayers, and tears we've shared along this journey. You've blessed more than you may know! Semper Fi and may God bless you! Gratefully, -Regina Aponte, PMM of Cpl. Gabriel I have enjoyed your stories since joining in May of 2003 when my daughter went off to boot camp. You made me feel like your next door neighbor. Seeing your name in the "from" always brightened my day! -Vicki Backer, PMM of two, Houston, TX.
