During this time, I went places with a friend from work, Mark Cintala. He went to Brown University to earn his Ph.D. in Physics and Geological / Planetary Sciences. Mark and I married in 2003. Angela married the same year to a man named Chris. They have a beautiful daughter, our first granddaughter, Adalyn Nicole ÃÂÿ we call her Addie. My youngest daughter, Amanda, went to heaven on 04 August 2011.
I retired from Lockheed in 2003. I work for Collection of Treasures, a jewelry company I started in 1996. Since my diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis in 1996, both jobs were too much. I also volunteer with animal rescue groups.
