I'm a Southwest Missouri native. I've loved genealogy since I was about 7 years old. My grandmother was the first person to ever speak to me about their family members that had passed on and she instilled in me the importance of keeping their memories alive.

My grandmother always kept flowers on all of her family's graves so I would go with her to the graveyards. When I was a young adult I would drive to the cemeteries to collect information off the gravestones. Some people think it's strange that I spend my days off traveling around and taking pictures of gravestones, but I like helping others find their family members information.

I don't have control of very many memorials, but if you have a close family member that you'd like me to transfer control of their memorial to you, please contact me. I will transfer it to you unless they are my close family also.
