Now that my parents have gone on to be with the Lord, I have acquired time to put my experiences in writing and hopefully, others will use this book as a tool in dealing with Alzheimer's in their families. My one book soon to be released titled:  "My Parents' Passing", is a faith based book of education and inspiration. Our story is captivating, life changing and full of heart-wrenching decisions on behalf of both parents.  My Dad had written some theological books in his time and his love for the Lord greatly influenced me to write this book.  I have some children's books that I hope to have published soon about basic human kindness and the freedom for inquisitive little minds to explore.  The majority of my life has been spent drawing pencil portraits of all ages and walks of life.  I taught myself when I was very young and was fortunate enough to have a wonderful European art instructor become interested in my artwork later on in life, tutored me privately and took my art to another level.  Besides his influence on my art, I was also influenced by my Dad's art ability and relatives from Norway who had a hand in my love for art.
