MY FAMILY
WELCOME TO MY FAMILY WEB SITE! MY FAMILY IS VERY SPECIAL
AND DEAR TO ME.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN MICHIGAN AND MY PARENTS WERE
SO INCREDIBLY SPECIAL AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
I HAVE ONE SISTER LORINE (LORI) AND WE ARE VERY CLOSE.
LORI IS 8 YEARS OLDER THAN ME AND WHEN WE WERE SMALL I
I WAS QUITE THE PROVERBIAL PAIN, BUT AS WE GREW OLDER
WE BECAME CLOSER EACH DAY. WE HAVE SHARED SO MANY
THINGS AND SHE IS MY BEST FRIEND. WE ARE SISTERS BY
CHANCE...FRIENDS BY CHOICE...
MOM AND DAD ALWAYS TOLD US HOW VERY SPECIAL WE WERE
AND THAT GOD SENT US TO THEM; HOWEVER THEY WERE THE
THE SPECIAL ONES WITH SO MUCH LOVE IN THEIR HEARTS! WE
WERE "CHOSEN ONES" AND MAMA ALWAYS TOLD US HOW
BEAUTIFUL IT WAS - AND HOW WE DID NOT GROW UNDER HER
HER HEART BUT IN IT!
OURS WAS THE HOUSE WITH ALL THE KIDS...EVERYONE LOVED
COMING TO OUR HOME AND OUR FRIENDS WERE ALWAYS
WELCOME.
THE YEARS PASSED SO QUICKLY AND SOON LORI MARRIED AND
MOVED TO COLORADO AND I MISSED HER SO MUCH BUT WE
WERE ABLE TO SEE EACH OTHER OFTEN AND I WAS ALWAYS ABLE
TO CALL LORI WHENEVER I WANTED. LORI HAS THREE SONS;
MIKE, STEVE, AND SCOTT; AND SHE HAS 6 GRANDCHILDREN!
I MARRIED MY HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART AND WE HAVE TWO
DAUGHTERS; DeANNA AND DEBORAH; AND WE HAVE THREE
GRANDCHILDREN.
LORI RESIDES IN OREGON AND I IN CHICAGO BUT WE SEE EACH
OTHER OFTEN.
DADDY DIED IN 1980 AFTER A LONG BATTLE WITH CANCER AND
MAMA DIED IN 1993 RIGHT AT CHRISTMAS TIME...DADDY DECIDED
THEY HAD SPENT TOO MANY HOLIDAYS ALONE AND WANTED HER
WITH HIM. IT STILL DOES NOT SEEM POSSIBLE...BUT WE KNOW...
THEY SMILE DOWN UPON US EVERY DAY.
