Introduction I'm an author of three memoirs: A Spiritual Renewal; A Journey to Medjugorje(2012) and Someone Stop This Merry-Go-Round; An Alcoholic Family in Crisis (2009) and its sequel Please, God, Not Two; This Killer Called Alcoholism. I co-authored Loose Ends; A Hodgepodge of Short Stories. I'm completing the sequel Please, God, Not Two; This Killer Called Alcoholism. I'm a mother of one daughter, Debbie, and Lori, who passed away in 2006 from alcoholism. My first husband, Richie, also died from the same demon. I have ten grandchildren and four step children who are all grow with families. I live with my husband, Al, and enjoy anytime we can go off together in the blue yonder!
Interests I love going to events, reading when there is spare time, watching children, the fresh smell of the air after a rainstorm, watching nature, sitting by the ocean, meeting people.
Favorite Movies LOVE Stories! I'm a softy! Once Around, Splendor in the Grass, The Way We Were. I keep my Kleenex close by. I do love movies with humor. We don't seem to laugh as much as we should. Too much tragedy going on in our world.
Favorite Music I change depending on my mood. One moment I'm sitting listening to romantic music, and an hour later, I could be dancing around the house to jive.
Favorite Books I don't have one really. I like a book that keeps my interest from page one. I read all of Jerry Jenkin's series of "Left Behind." Couldn't put the books down.
