From the struggles of nursing school to the struggles of life. Veonka has been my shoulder to cry on, my hype woman and everything in between. She is the epitome of friendship turned family and our indescribable sisterhood will forever remain unbreakable.

Meeting as coworkers a timeless friendship was started almost immediately. Regardless of the space between communication her love and sincerity and over all support means more to me than words can express. Her place not only in this union but in my heart is permanent.

“My Forever friend” from elementary school to standing beside one another in each other’s wedding is so heart warming. Her love and loyalty has always remained solid and our friendship will be sealed for Interna T .

A friendship that started before we were teens is still one that I cherish beyond explanation. On a bad day she is the one to replace that moment with a moment of laughter. Our friendship story includes 17 years of maturity, growth, love and understanding. She will stand behind me on this day and everyday as I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My “Sissy” the one who has known of me before my life had even started. Her desire for greatness and self success is remarkable. Even in the shadows I have and will always idolize her for her strength and determination. Our bond is indestructible and I am so honored to have such a beautiful person inside and out as a sister.
