Life
Ok here is just a quick synopsis of what has happened since '85.....
Started HCC around '87. Had to quit due to my dad's illness (died from lung cancer). I will be going back this Winter to complete my AA (missed it by 10 credits)....never to late for an education, right?

y).
Had a house built in Valrico and gave birth to my daughter Gabriella in '98.
Sold house and built another one in Lakeland ('05).
I have 1 beautiful niece (Angelica 17 yrs old) and 2 good looking nephews (A.J. 14 yrs old and David 10 yrs old).
I still keep in touch with alot of my friends that I hung out with in high school (Lori Fernandez, Terri Roberts, Bonnie Manley, Michelle Fowler, Alicia Fernandez etc.)
I saw the photo site for the class of '85's reunion and EVERYONE looked great. I wish I could have made it :(
I hope everyone is doing well and take care :)
