IslanderView Digital Magazine January 2018 | Page 2

This first publication for IslanderView is a dream come true. Many people have big dreams. I had them, too, and still have some but have changed them to align with my current life, real life. This first IslanderView magazine is dedicated to several people. I am blessed and ever grateful for each person I have met and who is part of my life. Henry Dean Tydingco Dela Cruz My dear husband… the only “real man” that loves me true, handle my craziness and takes care of me as only he can (with God’s help, I know). There is no other. Tilly & Benny Flores Mom & Dad, thank you for loving me and keeping me and teaching me to be all I can be and the best I can be; and to lovingly share my talents with others. May your souls rest in peace. Tina, Verne, +Vince, Mare, and Tim I did not get to choose you, but I wouldn’t change you for… well, for nothing! LOL You keep my BP up! Love you all and those awesome kids of yours, especially my Godchildren! Lauren, Jon, Baby, Tipperly. Special mention: G, Tom, Timmy, Sam, Kylie, Banana, Boboy & Bella Bee GWHS Class of 1986 My Gecko family; crazy, awesome times! The BEST class of George Washington High School, Mangilao, Guam EVER. Many family, friends and coworkers around the world. I strongly believe every person we meet and interact with leaves an impression on the other. I’ve been blessed to have met many awesome individuals with BIG HEARTS. God bless each and every one of you and your families. Vera Flores Dela Cruz 2
