Happy Anniversary to my incredible hubby and my forever love - Joseph! Today marks 26 years since we embarked on this incredible journey and I couldn't be more grateful to have spent over half my life by your side. Happy anniversary, my love!

My husband, Joseph presented a graduating senior with the Joseph O. Goffney II Endowed Scholarship and my daughter Joslyn was presented with an Aldine Education Foundation Scholarship. God is good!
