She has been married for almost forty years to the love of her life, Kerry, an architectural designer turned pastor. They have three adult children: Erin, Kristian, and Ryan and three granddaughters: Charlotte, Lillian-James, and Own who keep life exciting.

I’ve helped my grandfather move from his home in Texas to a senior living home in New Mexico to a nursing home to heaven. I’ve watched my mom move from her large home in the Albuquerque foothills to an over 55 apartment near me. I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that it’s emotionally exhausting to downsize. And the great lesson is, sometimes stuff is just stuff. But memories last forever.
