Comment:

Luke and I continue to live south of Lake Koronis. We are 'empty nesters' and are loving it as long as we don't go too long woithout seeing the kids or our granddaughter.


We love to work on 'this old house' that we live in as we are in a constant state of remodel. Luke does all the work himself and I am the one that provides food, support and more ideas!


I am working in Home Health as well as Pampered Chef. The weeks fly by - but, not as fast as the weekends!


Looking forward to seeing you all at the reunion!

Occupation: PCA
Comment: Greetings to you all!  





I continue to be employed as a PCA for my older daughter Carla. 





Carla graduated from Normandale CC and was in an accelerated Bachelors Health Psychology program at NWU when her chronic health condition declined last year so she had to put school on "wait".  She and Zack were married in 2015. 





Daughter Sara graduated from Inver Hills CC and Bethel Univ. with majors in Bio-Chemistry, Chemistry, Molecular Biology. She plans to attend NW Chiropractic College this fall (2019).  Sara & Jon have Lily (born 5-19-2018) so I have the joy of being Grandma and plan to babysit while her mom  goes to class.





Son Adam --born in Jan. 1993 with a heart defect and passed away in Feb 1993).





The most wonderful thing is walking daily in loving relationship and faith in God. To be born-again: see John 3:3 & 16, Romans 3:23; 6:23, 10:9--13, Eph. 2:8-9, 1 John 5:13. The rapture and second coming of Christ will be soon (1 Thess. 4: 14-18 and Matt. 24:27-44)!

Occupation: OFFICE ASSISTANT
Comment: Since our last class reunion, a lot has happened in my life.  In 2009 I married Mike Noonan.  We each have 3 kids and #7 grandchild is on the way!  We have 3 kids married and the last 3 will be married within the next year!  Whew!  I made a career change in 2008.  I left the banking world to start our music venue - Gig Noonan.  Mike and I keep very busy and are booked most weekends.  I, also, currently work at Paynesville Mutual Insurance and have worked there for the past to two years.  Life is good and I am sure the next 5 years will be just as good as the last 5 years!!
