I was immediately curious about how someone originally from the mountains of North Carolina would be corresponding from an island in the Caribbean.Her tale follows: I was born in Bakersville, North Carolina, on Feb. 8, 1953.We moved to Tampa, Florida in 1955 where I was raised.At an early age, I became a member of the Idlewild Baptist church in Tampa.My husband Tom was born March 31, 1951 in Chicago and was reared in Tennessee and Michigan and later moved to Tampa when he was sixteen.
My husband came from a broken home; his father was married four times and he claims to have been raised heathen.He traveled to Tampa to improve his relationship with his mother, sister, brother, half sister, and half brother.Here he lived a harsh and difficult existence, stealing and breaking into homes.His high school friend invited him to a Christmas party at my church where we first noticed one another.We actually met a few weeks later on February 1, 1970.
We married November 10, 1973 and have been together ever since.We began our youth ministry our first married year at the same Baptist Church where we were married.We continued our youth ministry in Tampa, Jacksonville, and Melbourne, Florida until 1983.
