I married Jack and had three children, Scott, Toni and Gregg. Our
children are now all
married and have children of their own. Scott and
Frankie have three daughters, Kendall,
Kevyn,
and Karsyn. Toni and Dan have a boy
and a girl, Max and Greer. Gregg and Jill have
twin daughters, Caroline and Catherine.
I worked for Goose Creek CISD for 30 years mostly in personnel. Jack
retired from
Bayer Corporation as a Superintendent after 22 years.
We will be married 50 years on
I want to thank all of you for your prayers, cards, calls, and support
through this last
bout with ovarian cancer. It's much easier to know so
many care. Jack is the most
wonderful caregiver giving me more care than I need most of
the time! I feel very
loved.

Animals,
The early years, well, they were a long time ago! It's a blur.
I am
divorced. I have 4 children, 5 grandchildren and 3
great-grandchildren. Funny
thing is-they are all beautiful, talented and the best.
I have far too many pets and love every minute of being with them. Animals are
my
passion. I work with several shelters and of course,
I'm an activist for animal rights. I am a
vegan. Environmental issues are another interest.
I'm a student of all things. I always want to know How, When, Where, and
Why. It's
exhausting!
After a stint in
in Kingwood for almost 14 years. I lived here with my
mother until her death in 2002. My
dad died in 1985.
Hey, guys, I attended Janelle Bishop's 50th wedding anniversary celebration. I
was
really happy to see quite a few of you there. I just didn't
know about the web site. Glad
that I found it. Now you can improve your lunches by
inviting me....
