"The most wasted of all days
is one without laughter."
e.e. cummings
Cherish all your happy moments:
They make a fine cushion for old age
My name is Teresa. I was born and 56 years later still live on the banks of Lake Okeechobee in South Florida. My husband Wayne and I have been married 34 years and have 3 grown daughters,3 wonderful son-in-laws and 4 beautiful grandchildren.
I have made this little site to keep our family and friends up on our family news and recent pictures.

"Reflections Of A Mother"
I gave you life, but cannot live it for you.
I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.
I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always decide for you.
I can buy you beautiful clothes, but I cannot make you beautiful inside.
I can offer you advice, but I cannot accept it for you.
I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.
I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.
I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor.
I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose them for you.
I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure.
I can tell you about alcohol & drugs, but I can't say "No" for you.
I can tell you about lofty goals, but I can'tachieve them for you.
I can teach you about kindness, but I can't force you to be gracious
I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with God.
I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life.
I can love you with unconditional love all of
my life... and I will.




My name is Teresa and I live in South Florida with my husband of 34 years, Wayne. We have 3 grown daughters, 3 wonderful son-in-laws and 4 beautiful grandchildren. This site is to keep family members up to date on our lives. My hobby is genealogy research so a great deal of this site has to do with family research.
