I was born in 1967 in a small town in North Alabama.  I grew up in a large family with six children - five boys, one girl and she was the first born.  I was next to the baby.  My Father and Mother raised me and my siblings with love.  They taught me to be caring, sharing, responsible and most of all - loving.  I am grateful for them.  Sadly in 2002 my Mother had a stroke, five years later she left our family for a better place....someday I will see her there.  My Father still resides in the same, but slightly larger now, town in Alabama.
