From the heart comes my innermost thoughts. Friends and family have encouraged me to share them. By reading my poems, I hope one can find peace and comfort with these words. Some will console the grieving heart; others will bring happy remembrances of birthdays and Mother's Day. Some poems are dedicated to the military and those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. And for the animal lovers, as myself, a devotion to our furry friends. Follow me through my comical marriage up to the ultimate phase of widowhood. My intention is to touch on every aspect of life. I hope the reader will find comfort in some of my poems because they were written with love to all.
