UPDATE: My first born and only son passed away on Sunday, January 13. I appreciate the emails of kindness and understanding of where I am at in my life right now. My heart is healing quickly and in large part to my faith and testimony of the plan of salvation and to those who have been concerned for my welfare. It has helped to get back to work but there are still things I have to take care of. I am trying to respond to all who take the time to write...thank you for understanding.

Hi! I am usually a happy person, positive about my life and committed to God, temple work/worship and family.

I enjoy eating healthy and walking/hiking with my faithful companion (Rusty Dog-an 8yr old male Chesapeake Bay).

I am most at peace when my life is in harmony with my loved ones and God. I love my Savior, am so grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost and deeply grateful for the constant reminders of how much Heavenly Father loves me and is mindful of me. I love the scriptures and the message they have each day for me.
