Nomination Email
Hi Heather,
I would so love to nominate my mother JoAnne
Forte, who deserves the makeover. My mom has been
through so much last year. My dad passed away the
end of 2015 and my mom has been amazing raising
me, my sister, 15, and brother, 20, who is at Boston
College. She has been Wonder Woman – working,
taking care of us, amazing cook. You name it, she
does everything. She even entertained our Xmas Eve
tradition with family and friends for over 20 people.
She plans vacations to last beautiful memories. She
makes us feel we don’t have to feel a void without
our dad. He will always be with us in our hearts
and gives us strength to get through anything.
That’s why I would love so much to give back to
my mom. Time for her who deserves this and so
much more.
Thank you.
Her baby girl, Giavanna Forte, 10
