How did your love story begin?

Twenty-two and a half years ago, my story with Andre began with him singing Teddy Pendergrass to me and a kiss I will never forget. From that moment, we chose a beautiful, chaotic adventure, weaving our lives into a blended family of seven children. We shut out the nay-sayers and survived six months living in a children's hospital by protecting our bond. Through every single trial, we have never spent a night apart. Two decades later, that unforgettable kiss with Andre is still going.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our most memorable moment was the six months we lived in a children’s hospital for our daughter. We cried together, prayed together, and never left her side—or each other’s. It was the hardest thing we ever faced, but it proved that Andre and I are an unbreakable team. We survived the trenches hand-in-hand, cementing our rule to never spend a single night apart. That trial showed the true depth of our love and made us the undefeated couple we are 22.5 years later.

What would you do with $20,000?

Winning $20,000 would bring absolute joy to our hearts. Our ultimate dream is to use the money to take all seven of our children and our beautiful grandchildren on a forever family trip. Because we spent years navigating separate homes and overcoming trials, having everyone together under one roof, laughing, and enjoying each other would mean everything. Andre and I would love nothing more than to spoil the grands and celebrate the legacy we built.
