Born in Southwest Virginia, I met my husband Jeremy there as a senior in high school when we were 16 years old. We attended the same college, married the summer after graduation and moved to the Carolinas to begin our married life at the old age of 21 years. After 10 years of working, traveling, having fun and growing up we had two kids and moved to the suburbs. Seven years later Jeremy was diagnosed with oral cancer. He fought hard for 7 months and just shy of our 20th wedding anniversary he lost his battle. My kids and I lost our rock. Those 7 and 9 year old babies have since grown into amazing, strong teenagers. We continue to strive to make Jeremy proud every day.
