Angie and Frank met on Jan 25th, 1986 in Angie’s hometown of Lakeland FL. Frank was sent there on a year-long work assignment. They were married 11 months later in a simple ceremony on Dec 21st, outside Portland OR in a chapel in the Willamette Forest. During their 5 years in Oregon, Frank became Joe’s legal father and Allison was born. Work related moves took them to South FL , Tennessee, NE Florida, Texas and back to NE FL. Like many, they juggled busy schedules, work travel, business ownership, kids sports and life’s ups and downs. Along the way they made lifelong friends across the country. Through all of it they found the importance of scripture to help navigate marriage and life and continue this practice with daily devotionals and prayer and have always relied on the support of a church family. In retirement they enjoy motor home trips (that usually include music festivals) and overseas travel. They also volunteer at local organizations serving the community with their unique talents and experience. They love spending time with their two children and four grandchildren while living their lifelong dream of residing at the beach in a small historic cottage.
