My mama. She was beautiful, talented, and terribly unhappy for too many years of her life. Click here to read about my Mama.
Hey, y’all, I’ve begun a new page on my website, in which I intend to share the story of my life. It chronicles the “adventures” I have experienced and ultimately tells about the God who knew and loved me before I was born.
