After Joe served his time we came back and lived in Rutland for awhile.   Then Mendon for 20 plus years. Then Wallingford for another 20 plus years.

We had a daughter and a son… they have blessed us with 4 amazing grandchildren..

I was certified as a orthopedic fitter, prosthesis fitter, pharmacy tech.

Also had a flower business and a jewelry design business which I continue to do today. Some days it’s hard to keep up!

We moved to North Carolina 12 years ago to be closer to the little ones.

In 2017, Joe was diagnosed with cancer and passed a few months later.  We were married 47 years.

Just last year I moved to Yulee, Florida. I sell my jewelry and refurbish furniture at a store on Amelia Island.

I have to say I’m thankful for family and friends both “old” ones and new ones.
