Caitlin Yancy Moore Caitlin is an excellent mother & mortgage lender, a mediocre golf player, and an avid Adele fan. But more than all of those traits, Caitlin is an extraordinary woman. She is one of the hardest working, most selfless individuals I have ever met, a truly beautiful person, a generous friend, and a bright light in a sea of darkness. The world, and Tallahassee specifically, are made better by her presence, and the world is a better place because of her and her service to others. To know her is to love her and to know more love and kindness in your own life than before. From her friend – for all the love that you put into this world, you deserve it back in spades CYM. Mom is the most important and greatest honor of her life. She truly is the mother every movie tries to portray and the one every woman aspires to be. Her role as mother is evident in every aspect of her life too, she teaches her kids that the only time you should look into your neighbor’s cup is to ensure that they have enough and to do something if they do not, and that doing something good can always lead to something better. She lives all the ideals and morals she instills as a mother and demonstrates these in her work and in the community daily. – Quote from Cate Saunders
