I can not express how much this means to me. I was fighting back the tears as I was walking up to receive this award because it hit me that winning this did not mean that only a few voted for me…but a majority of the county voted for me…it hit me that what we do truly helps make a difference in our county and that we have a positive impact on those who live in it …it hit me that having a good heart and being a good person does pay off! I’m by no means a perfect person but I will always try to do everything I can to help those in need and try to do everything I can to improve our county/community. Thank you to everyone that voted!
To the finalists of the person of the year award…yall play a prominent role in this county and your actions and opinions inspire and have a positive impact on everyone in the county!
I’m extremely honored that I was able to share this moment with my sister Marie Mcreynolds. She has played a major part in helping me become the man I am. She has always been there for me. It didn’t matter if I just needed a hug or if she needed to give me a swift kick to the ass. Her being there for this is something I will always hold close to my heart and was the most important part of the night for me.
I know my mother would be proud…to me..this award represents the kind of mother she was and the kind of person she was… she raised us to have big hearts, to do what’s right, to always be there and do what you can for those in need…even though there were times she was worried about how we would even pay the light bill…she would still help people..because we had it bad sometimes yes but……there were others who had it worst…so to my mother Julia Fraielli…..This Is For You And Because Of The Wonderful Mother You Was!!!
Thank You Beaver County And We Hope To See You Next Year!!!
