My Higher Power
Special thanks to my higher power. Without you, I would not be here on earth.
God gave me talent, all I’m trying to do is manage it here on earth.

Wancket Family
Dad, (Mr. Bob Wancket)-
Thank you for working all those years to provide for me. Your efforts allowed me to do all the things a young child can experience and carry on to adulthood.
Thank you for teaching me a great work ethic. Without that I’d be nowhere.
Mom, (Mrs. Sherry Wancket)-
I couldn’t imagine my life without your love and support. I know I haven’t made the traditional decisions in life, but you always supported me regardless of what you thought.
I hope I can manage to be half the mother, wife and daughter that you are.
Wyatt, (Mr. Wyatt Wancket, Brother)-
Having you as a big brother has always been a big safety net. I know if I needed something, you’d be there for me. Thank you for showing me what true athleticism is. Your drive, discipline, perseverance, and perfectionism, truly enhanced my martial arts career.
Julie, (Mrs. Julie Wancket, sister-in-law)-
Thank you for being the sister I never had all these years. You are a sweet person and a true friend.

Savanna Kaylee Wancket-Yue
I don’t know where to begin.
I knew by the age of 16 that I wanted to adopt a child from China. At age 33, I started the process and knew my life was going to change. Back then, I had no clue just how much love I could have for a child.
On May 28, 2001, my world changed more than I could have imagined. You have enriched my life more than anything I’ve experienced. I don’t know how the lord chose us to be together... but he couldn’t have made a better match.
You are my world, my life and my soul mate. I love you Savy, and you make me the happiest mama alive. I love who you are!

Sensei John Sharkey
Thanks for taking me under your wing, and giving me a home.
My test in Naperville “98” was the most humbling life learning experience that I’ve ever been through. By pushing me to the max both mentally and physically, you taught me that “only the strong survive.”

Ms. Suzanne Williams
Only you and I know what I experienced the day I received Savanna in China. I’m so fortunate to have a friend that would take a journey across the world to experience that special moment with Savanna and me. You are a true friend.

Dr. Jeff Yue
(Husband)
You are an unexpected gift from above that I will always treasure and respect.
Thank you for giving me balance and making me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. You’re incredible!
