The Love I Felt as a Child

My family was small, but full of big love. 

My Dad:
A huge heart and with a quiet strength, my Dad gave me a sense of gentleness and creativity.
He provided me with a respect for family and history, knowledge of technology, and the gift of words and pictures.



My Mom:
A hard-working LPN and then RN, my mom showed me an enormous amount of love when I was a child.
She cooked family meals, shared great music with us, and taught us about her beautiful hometown in Michigan.

My Little Brother:
He has shown me unconditional love since before I turned two years old.  He has a heart full of kindness, humor, and generosity.  He's been my best friend and was by my side through all of my childhood ups and downs.

 



Uncle Steve:
We had a strong connection that carried over into my adulthood.  He loved me with all his heart and made sure I knew it.  He extended that love to my husband and daughters, making us all feel special.  We miss him every day!
