Her level of dedication, determination and willpower was that of someone older with a lot to lose and limited time to achieve their goal. I began to wonder how she was brought up and the quality of life she must have had growing up. She looked so much like Stacy that if I did not know better, I would think she was Stacy’s daughter, but I had learned she was Stacy’s sister’s child,
