I don't remember much about my mother- she passed away from breast cancer right before my fifth birthday... She was loving and gentle. I know her beauty from old photographs- her sweet voice from a tape.

My mother was born September 29th, 1942, in Iowa. She attended the University of Iowa, studying art and special education. My parents wed in 1968 and later moved to Maryland where my brother and I were raised.

On this site you will find information about breast cancer, helpful links, and a drawing from when I was young... maybe I always wanted to be an artist. I was very lucky to have an artistic mother who encouraged me to be creative. This page is dedicated to her memory with all my love. Please leave any comments in the guestbook.
