Stefania took a sentimental snapshot holding her mother's bridal portrait.
"Abraham Lincoln put it best when he said, 'All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother,'" Stefania says. She is the first person that she wants to call when anything significant happens, happy or sad, and her guidance and enthusiasm for all of her daughter's endeavors is unparalleled. "I admire her ability to balance her marriage with work, friends, caring for her parents (my grandfather has Parkinson's Disease) and always being there for her kids, with Superwoman-like ease."
At her Sweet Sixteen, her mom gave a speech that she could achieve whatever she set her mind to, and the only limitations are the ones she placed on herself. Those words have served as a mantra throughout her entire life — and now that Stefania has her husband by her side, her mom believes that he is picking up where she left off.
