Hi Christine-
It's Trevor's mom from your days of teaching at Valhalla. I was searching for you earlier today on FaceBook and came up with the RaisingMarioTwice.com website. I just saw your video on the site about walking in love and the amazing effect love can have on life's outcomes. I am amazed by Mario and all you and your husband have done-those slide show photos are inspirational!
I am elated that you've written a book chronicling all that's happened. I will be ordering a few copies for my family for Christmas! I wanted to leave you a comment, however, and say "hi". I am so glad Mario appears to be making amazing strides and continues to thrive thanks to the love and help surrounding him!
I am going to see if I can search you out on FaceBook now....so great to find you on this site and learn about your book! What a story-I look forward to reading the entire book.
Trevor says "hi". We're doing well in Wisconsin, though still wishing we were back in the Bay Area.
Take care!

Allison send me an e-mail at raisingmariotwice@comcast.net. Both Mario and I are on Facebook too.
So friend me.
Hi Christine,
You likely don't remember me, but we grew up in the same neighborhood as kids. There has been a buzz about your book and the fact that you will be at the high school reunion in a couple of weeks. I look forward to reading your touching story as well as seeing you at Castle Rock park! Be well.
The reunion was a blast. I sold six books there but do not remember meeting you. Are you on Facebook? I have been in contact with a few high school friends through Facebook.
Hi Christine,
I met you today during Mario's speech appointment with Lucy at Kaiser. I was observing Lucy and was able to be there for your session. I found out what a doll Mario is! As I was leaving after your session, something hit me. For some reason, I realized you were probably Jim and Bette Boman's daughter. I worked with Jim in the '80's in the Industrial Engineering Department at Kaiser. I remember seeing your parents about the time of Mario's accident. (I also live in the Northgate neighborhood in Walnut Creek and see both your parents on a fairly regular basis.) They told me about the accident. I have thought of you often since then. I now have two teenage boys myself. It was wonderful meeting you and Mario today and such a delight to realize you were Jim and Bette's daughter. Is it o.k. with you if I tell them I met you?
Take care,
Darolyn






Your a beautiful lady inside and out!
