Mrs. International





This was known to be perhaps one of the toughest years in terms of competition for any Mrs. system. There were former national title holders and others who had come close. There were fresh faces that had done amazing work with their platforms. Basically, it was the who's who and yet it could be anyone's game. I was thrilled to have several people there who I can call friend. Deanna Linz, Lori Donaudy, and Laine Berry were all part of the US class of 2007. They have become friends who will always have your back. They are strong leaders willing to stick their necks out there to make things better for other women. They are like sisters to me. Shannon Devine (Mrs. US 06) is one of the first queens I had ever gotten to know and is such an example of grace and humor at the same time. Janice McQueen Ward has been such a great person to learn from and it was amazing seeing her on stage. All of these ladies were incredible. I was thrilled to see Lori and Shannon make the top ten. Deanna was 2nd runner-up and Laine was crowned the new Mrs. International! It is an intense job with high expectations that she will take to new levels. Kudos to you all!
