they decided to call her Serena’s Song three years ago.
When the Lewises heard about Waldman’s incredible dream, they contacted him and promised a “gift” each and every time their filly ran in a race. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis don’t tell the amount of their gifts to the press, but trust me when I tell you that Serena’s Song the horse will help keep Serena’s Song the balloon flying for years to come.
While the gifts from Robert and Beverly Lewis are a godsend, Serena’s Song the balloon still must depend on outside assistance to stay afloat.
Waldman’s pride is obvious, yet his task is enormous. With the filly’s support, and public awareness, he can make a difference for his daughter Serena and all of the others who benefit from the special creation.
Salty’s smiling face and earlier blessing ring true as 1 watch the dreams of Serena and many others materialize. With Waldman, the Lewises and that sweet bay filly, they can continue flying high.
