I was born in Dayton, OH. I was blessed with loving four fantastic children - David, Rachel, Anastasia and Sarah and one loving man - Jim. We found our way to each other in an unconventional way but we made our family strong through all the trials and triumphs. We learned that with love and faith in God and each other that anything can be accomplished. I have also been blessed with Andy, Amy, Chris and Matt, the most adorable, fun loving grandson ever, Davis and the beautiful, precious granddaughter, Charlotte. Thank you all for showing me and each other what true love is and for allowing me to love you all. Remember all the lessons Dad and I taught and showed you but most of all, remember without God nothing matters. I love you all.
