Special Memory and Dedication to Littie Carr and Rose Ross
I dedicate Littie Rose Sports Academy to my late grandmother and mother, Littie Carr, and Rose Ross. Without them in my life, this would not be possible.
Everyday of my life, both of their legacies will live through me. Everyone should be so fortunate to have an incredible role model like my grandmother and mother. They were both a shining example of love and integrity for my family. Their strengths will always live on in me.
My grandmother and mother were both one of the strongest, bravest, and kindest humans to grace this planet. Without them, I would not be her today. I would not be the person I am, and I would not have the life I have. They meant everything to me and more, and there is no way I could ever quantify the importance they held in my life.
I always thanked them for the encouraging words they always instilled in me like:
“Don’t quit, Whatever you start, you finish”
“Stay Positive”
“Treat people how you want to be treated”
“If it was easy, everyone would be doing it”
“Stay confident in yourself”
They are both deeply missed by me on a daily basis, and I will forever be grateful for their existence in my life.
