I am not a Veteran
I strongly believe that all schools in America
should teach their students about the meaning of the word "Veteran."
I thank God for Veterans.
For the past 7 years, I spearheaded "Veterans for a Change"...
a school, home, community project to raise money to donate to local Veteran groups
to brighten the days of Veterans in the Danville and Quincy V.A. Hospitals in Illinois.
To date, over $14,500.00 in "change"
has been collected and all of it donated to help Veterans.

What is important to me?
I am a giver. I believe when one gives,
one gets back far more than one can imagine.
Family is important to me.
No greater love than to be in harmony with family.
I recognize that my daughter is a "gift" to me.
I am blessed to have my sweet daughter, Nicole.
Not a day passes, that I do not remind her
by telling her "I love you."
Nature is important to me.
I have a respect and kinship with my environment.
I believe in being kind to others.
Lifting those less fortunate up.
Materialistic things mean nothing at all to me.
MOSTLY, I LOVE THE "SIMPLE LIFE".
Being honest.
Helping others.
Keeping a song in my heart.
I believe life is short.
I want those I love to know it before it is too late.
That is what makes me tick.
Thank-you for taking your time to visit the website.
