Never Give Up

“I was not looking for anything at the time I met Mario,” RanDee admits “I had pretty much came to the conclusion that I would not find a good man or relationship until I stopped playing basketball.” She’s so happy she was wrong. Read their sweet love story and see their romantic photos!

Actions and Words

“My mom always said watch how a man treats his mother,” says RanDee. “It’s a good reflection of how he will treat you. He was like no other man I had come across. He let me know how I was so important and our relationship was important. Not by his words but by his actions.”

A True Kindess

“This winter was a really tough winter in Detroit,” says RanDee. “We got a lot of snow and it was very cold. My parent’s snow blower broke and my Dad did not know what to do. On every snow day Mario went to my parents house and cleared their driveway and walkway without anyone asking him. To do that was amazing to me, it showed he loved me so much and wanted me safe that anyone connected to me should be safe as well. I will never forget him doing that for my parents.”
