About Me
3/26/09 I am a woman who lost herself when she fell in love with her HS sweetheart. They built a beautiful life together, had two children, and shared everything together. It was a more wonderful life than I would ever have asked for. He was taken Home to Heaven on 6/15/2007 from lung cancer and my world fell apart. I had to try to discover why I was here and how do I live without the man I spent 40 years married to. That's who I am now.

Interests
I love to read, learn, and listen to friends. I love the sun and tree's blowing in the wind. Walks in the woods, a stream, a lake or even the ocean waves. I like music, country or easy-listening. I like rings, necklaces, earrings. But most of all I like to feel valued so I try to be as positive as I can and try to find the silver lining in a cloudy sky.
