I am married (40 years) and have two lovely daughters. Our family also consists of 3 dogs (1 is a registered therapy dog), 1 horse, and 7 chickens. One motto in our family is a day without at least 1 good belly laugh is a day without sunshine. I love to garden (better at veggies than flowers), read, visit hospitalized children with our therapy dog, homeschool my kiddos, travel, and train dogs.

I WILL HONOR TRANSFER REQUESTS for relatives even if they're not your direct relatives or within FAG's 4 generation rule. I understand how meaningful it can be to connect to your past. Unless, of course, they're my or my husband's direct relatives. Your family means more to you than they can to me!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO USE any headstone photos of your relatives that I have placed here. They are a part of history and I don't own history. I understand you may live across the country and can't take a photo of your ancestor's stone. If my photo blesses you, then I am blessed. I would appreciate a message from you, just as an encouragement to keep taking pictures.
