I am a daughter of God, mother, wife, aunt, grandma, sister, friend, co-worker, seamstress, quilter, lover of the beach, sand, sunshine and life long seeker of knowledge.
Over the last four years I have lost my mother to COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and my father to Esophageal Cancer. Finalizing affairs, funerals, obituaries, bills, property, bank accounts, life insurance, pensions, and feelings has been heart wrenching.
The dust has settled and the footprints of my parents erased too soon. Now I am moving forward to write what I feel is important by documenting my thoughts, beliefs, memories and lessons learned. It’s my prayer that my words and testimony will live longer than footprints fading from the earth beneath my feet.
Wisconsin born and Utah raised, mamma and step mamma to amazing children. I'm known as Grandma Dee Dee, mamma, wife, friend and self proclaimed cattle baroness. I am a passionate about fabric and quilting. DiamonddpHandmade is an avenue to help me become a better writer, creator, communicator and listener. My hope as I live strong with my whole heart and soul, is to leave a legacy of hope, history, honest reflection for my family.
