| Comment: | Hi everyone! How time does fly when you’re having fun…For those of you who know me, hopefully you will remember that “family” has always been my first and foremost focus of interest. The summer of my Jr. year while roller skating with some girl friends at Gem Beach Roller Rink on Catawba Island I met my husband Mike. Yes, I do believe in love at first sight! We will be celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary this October! We have been blessed with three wonderful sons. Each of them are now married or in a long time relationship. We enjoy getting together with family as much as possible (especially our precious grandchildren) Mike owns his own business and I work seasonal for Bay Point Resort. These positions allow us the luxury and freedom to travel quite a bit. Life has treated us well! I regret to say that we won't be able to make it to the 40th class reunion, but we hope to be able to attend the gathering on Friday evening...If I don't get the opportunity to see you... I’d like to wish each of you love, laughter and the blessings of good health! |
