The information listed below this paragraph is dated in that many things have transpired since it was originally posted. I did not want to simply delete it to update, but preserve it out of memory. However, the most wonderful lady who I called my wife for twenty-three years who I mentioned in the paragraph is no more except in the heart and mind of my memories. Sadly she passed away on her birthday in September of 2008. However the principles of love lain out in a broad stoke still apply after all this time for you can never out-do love or love too much. Though my Leah is gone, and now rests in the arms of Jesus…she will always remain in the heart and mind of all that knew her.
The drama of her…OUR last four months with her battle of pancreatic cancer is detailed in my latest book “Glimpse Of An Angel”. I would appreciate it very much if you would but take a moment from your busy schedule to peruse the following links to catch a glimpse of this lady I called angel. Thank you for your time and may God Bless.

I once thought that worldly gain and recognition were the most important factors in life. However over the last twenty years or so I have come to find out that these are not the most desired traits that one could wish or strive for. Life is tough, and how you approach these battles are the deciding factors. I have been married to a most wonderful lady now for twenty plus years. We like all have had our ups and our down, but most importantly we have loved with all our hearts. Therefore I conclude that above all things the simplicity of LOVE is to never be undone.
