More Love From Minnesota

Hello. I am Julie Schmanski Pittman. Tori's dad's cousin from Minnesota. We saw Tori 2 years ago, when the family came up for a family reunion. During that visit, Tori brushed my big 18 lb. cat, Kit, for about an hour. I think he lost 2 lbs. after Tori finished. I can tell she loves cats.
I appreciate Tori's spunkiness, confidence and beauty. When my husband, Matt and I visited the Schmanski clan about four years ago, we went boating. Tori forgot her swimsuit, but that didn't stop her. She went tubing in her underwear and a t-shirt. It didn't have any affect on the fun she was having.
I can't wait for my daughter, Savannah, to meet Tori (and the rest of the family)again. She was only 7 months old when we saw them last.
We continue to pray for Tori. My co-workers and friends get regular updates and they are praying for Tori too. I believe we have all experienced the power of prayer.
Keep the strength Tori!
Julie
