Opis

The Best Girlfriends Ever is the story of Tiffanie Nina Simone Hayes and the forever friends who loved and comforted her during her life and death with Rett Syndrome. Her mother, Stephanie Gives, wrote and illustrated the story as a way to share the story and to keep the memory of her daughter fresh and indelible; a memory she hopes to preserve and prevent from ever fading away. Stephanie Gives is an educator, artist. She is also the founder of Dreams of Becoming a Better Me; The Tiffanie Nina Simone Foundation. The foundation was created in memory of Tiffanie who passed away in 2011 from the neurological disease, Rett Syndrome, at the age of 14. Rett Syndrome is a progressive disease that affects girls in the beginning stages of infancy. Currently, there is no known cure for Rett Syndrome. Stephanie is a frequent guest speaker at local community programs and women's groups in her city of Columbia, South Carolina.
