I truly cannot begin to round up enough versions or languages of “THANK YOU” to convey the thanks in my heart and the hearts of my family & the Greenes for all you have done to support us during this time.

I can’t remember details, but I do remember hearing my mom crying and made out the words, “she’s gone. Shannon is gone. You need to come home.” I still haven’t accepted it or been able to wrap my head around the fact that I will never see her beautiful… Read More

I lost my cousin very unexpectedly this weekend and it has really put things into perspective. I was asked to do his eulogy today, and took some time to listen to some inspirational songs to get the writing juices going! I just want to be the BEST mom, wife, friend, daughter, aunt and sister that I can be and not lose sight of what is important…. Read More
