I was born on Feb. 21,1955 in San Gabriel Ca. Raised is So. Ca. and still Live in CA. I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters, being # 2 of the 8 children mom had.
I elloped to Los Vegas in Jan of 1974, Married Duane Tolman and we were sealed in the Los Angeles Temple in May of 1976. I have raised 5 kids. 4 boys and 1 girl. Jerald Duane was born in Feb. 1975, Aaron Joseph Sept. 1976, Nolan Patrick Feb 1978, Windy Dawn Nov. 1980 and Neil Raymomd May 1983.
Jerald Duane was killed in a car accident in Feb. 1993, just 2 weeks before his 18th birthday, a very hard thing to go through and thanks to my Heavely Father and my testimony of Jesus Christ and the atonement we have come through it well.
I am working as a medical assistant at Kaiser Perm. for 4 1/2 years now. I also have my phlebotimist cert. and IV therapy cert. Only working for the past 13 years, I was able to be a stay at home mom til my youngest started 1st grade.
Last May I was able to go to Norway and visit my mother and grandfather for 2 weeks. It was a beautiful trip and ...Expand for more
can't wait to go back.
I have been to Puerto Rico for 2 weeks back in 1994 and that is a beautiful Island. 2 weeks were too long though.
In 1976 we went to Washington DC and NY, Boston, West Point, Arlington National Cerm. Lincoln Memorial, White House, etc. with the Grand Land Singers. What a wonderful experience that was. We even got to see the Liberty Bell.
My biggest accomplishment is that we have raised 5 kids without any of them getting into trouble, drugs, alcohl, gangs etc. They (4) are all productive in thier chosen occupations. Aaron is finishing his masters in communication this year after spending a year in Brazil working for his Co., Forflight Industries. Nolan is an Acr. Drafter working in Peris, Windy is a stay at home mom, with 3 kids (Her husband ownes a pool cleaning business). Neil is on a mission for our church in Chicago and will be out for another year, he returns home Sept 2004. Aaron went to Denver, Co., Nolan went to Knoxville, TN on their missions. My kids are my greatest and I am very blessed to have them in my life.
