Meet Our Team

Ronna Levy
"Angie's Mom"
Angie's Mom is very proud to be known on our team by this title. One of Ronna's fondest memories of Angie is that she was always "beautiful." Her nails and toes were always "done" and her makeup was always "on," even during chemo.  Angie felt so much better when she looked her best, and as her mother, it always cheered Ronna up to see that Angie still had the desire to be a lady, despite what she was going through. Knowing that this spa will give that extra boost of self esteem to other patients would have made Angie extremely proud.  Angie dreamt of doing something of this nature, and often mentioned it to Ronna.  She knows that Angie would have loved to have been able to contribute her time and effort to this incredible endeavor that has been created in her memory.
Ronna would also like to offer to talk to any family members of loved ones who are going through chemo. Although she is certainly not an expert on medical advice, she'd like to share her knowledge of how it feels to be the mother of a sick child. It would be her pleasure to share her thoughts with others going through this difficult time.
