Toni Cooper:  

Life July 1986 I left Blue Island and headed on to California to finish my last year of high school..Life moved pretty fast after graduating..and living in the San Fernando Valley life was about clothes and cars and parties..I had my share of fun..I don't think I regret any part of what life experiences were..they actually have made me a better person..It was rough sometimes because I didn't have my true friends from BI around me..the people you've known since elementary school. I met my husband a couple years after graduating high school (1989) and dated off and on for 7 years and we had Samantha in 1995 and married in 1996. Actually Samantha was born in Raleigh, NC and we moved back to California in 1996 where Doug excepted a job offer. Our second daughter Sierra was born in 1997 we decided after 4 years I wanted to come back to the change of seasons (I think of was mentally retarded)so our first stop was Pittsburgh where I excepted a job working for an Durable Medical Equipment Company....Expand for more
