    You rock cuz!!! For the people that read this. There is way much more about Robin’s family that make her who she is. For example.Her mother was a great teacher. The women in her family were all very well spoken and treated people with the upmost respect. Like she said not the shiniest penny, But like all the women in our family. She will take a polishing rag and work at it till it’s no longer a penny,but now it’s a gleaming piece of jewelry!

I can genuinely say that both Derek and Sheree are some of the most caring and enjoyable people to work for. They truly treat you like family, prioritizing both your well being and financial success. Their entrepreneurial journey, driven solely by their passion and ability to turn dreams into reality, is truly inspiring. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

We called him the Donut I could easily insert my Zemmour big collection of le suicide francais and there would still be room left. He was amazing, but one day we had an incident. Papacito lost his watch inside the donut, he could not leave it there it was a gift from his great great grandfather after the napoleon wars. He decided he would step in the Donut.... Until this day we havnt seen him back.. Rip in peace Papacito, may the Donut keep your soul warm and moist
