UPDATE: If I have not been quick to answer any requests or if things do not seem correct it is not that I am ignoring you or your requests.

I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of colon cancer. I have done all of the prescribed treatments. So far everything is good and I remain cancer free but there are many side effects of chemotherapy.

There are two side effects which are dominating my life at the moment. One is that I am very tired. The other is, for a lack of a better term, my brains are scrambled. I read thing incorrectly. If I have said things in correspondence that seems a little odd please forgive me. Every day I feel better but it has been a long process. I am truly sorry if I have confused you and will try to do better in the future.

Please remember that every day is a gift and no one's future is guaranteed. Enjoy every day as it comes.

PLEASE USE THE EDIT KEYS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. My life is very full and I have a lot of memorials. Thank You.

I enjoy family history and when I discovered Find a Grave I was quite thrilled. Unfortunately none of my relatives were posted.

My mission was to get my relatives posted and while I was at it I posted the people around my relatives. I keep expanding the circle hoping the effort will help someone.

If you see your relative I would be happy to transfer management to you(except for my immediate family). Please don't assume that they are my family if they are linked to spouses or children. If I am sure they are related I link them.

I am not fussy about copyrights to my pictures posted on find a grave. Please feel free to copy and use them as you see fit. Not only is this site for the memory of loved ones, but it is also used to help others find their ancestors. Please feel free to post picture, death certificates, military records or any information you can provide. We are all in this together.

Last but not least, I believe in "Pay it Forward". If you found a relative through Find A Grave, go to your local cemetery and photograph a few headstones and post them on Find A Grave. You never know who you will help in their search for family.
