Snappy Pappy was my Father. His Mantra and Life Statement was “You can do it if you want to!” It has been my inspiration to live life with no hesitation.

Shawna and I met in College over 30 years ago. Who would have know at that time that God would have our paths cross to encourage and share in each other’s grief.
