I believe in an eternal awareness where the soul or spirit remains aware of the ones they have left behind, and as we each enter a different dimension or life there is a continual renewal of new generations. In keeping with this belief, I have begun a small web site and hope it will grow as I gather new information. For now, it is my first step in saluting those who have gone on before and made the earth a better place for having been here. I especially want to pay tribute to my grandmother, Nancy Elizabeth, who assistd me in learning about strength and a special tribute to a little half-brother (my Sonny Boy), who left me when we were so young, but the spiritual mark he left with me lasted a lifetime.
I hope I have represented a part of America that was loyal, patriotic and ever hopeful of an even greater country as the years go by. It is your right as an American to have the rights or freedom that you have enjoyed. Your right to believe what you want to believe and a right to live that life as long as you don't infringe on the rights of another and "obey the laws of the land." Although I don't always agree with all laws, I appreciate the right to try, with help to change those laws.
I hope you enjoy the additional pages and sites where there has been a great amount of research completed. They have made my small presentation so much easier.
This is the beginning of my story..............
My mother, born: Edna Tappana and me, Dolores Loraine who will forever be known as "Boots", a nickname given at birth by my mom, and named after a comic strip, called: "Boots And Her Buddies." If you ever saw the comic strip, I am told you would recognize my character.
Oh no, you mean I have to go to school? They may not be ready for me. <grin>
And then there was high school and hopefully learning.....But I love to flirt with the boys!.
Now a mommy with two growing boys. Boy, I know what continuing education, career, work, worry is. My children are my life.
Several grandchildren have now arrived and I've been fighting Multiple Sclerosis for about twenty years, but work continues and happiness can be found in so many places.
"Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away" Now this is getting old, but M S hasn't kept me from standing on my own two feet, but 'gettin kinda hard now! Oh well; they say I was always stubborn, so maybe it kept me goin'.
