Remembering past years, like 2017...Why 2017? Because in January, 2017 we got married. What? Really? You're kidding! No, it's true. After "going together" for 29 years, we decided to officially tie the knot. So, at a very small, quiet ceremony at the Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene, we exchanged vows.
Here are a couple of photos of the event:

Thrills!

After a painful fight with esophageal cancer, our sweet daughter Karen lost her life, Aug. 16, 2019 in the same hospital in Phoenix where she was born 50 years ago.
Her husband Ben attended to her with great devotion and love during that difficult time. We are thankful her suffering is over; now we are suffering with her loss. She was such a loving, gentle soul. We miss her terribly.
The outpouring of support to Karen before and after her passing was overwhelming. Visits, calls, cards, messages...if we haven’t thanked you personally for all you have done, please forgive our carelessness.
