She has lived in Arizona and Colorado and currently lives in Beaumont, California, with her daughter, Amy. Her son, Chris, daughter-in-law, Gina, and their two children live nearby, and she enjoys spending as much time as she can with her children and grandchildren, who are the joy of her life. Her retired life is full and she keeps busy as a deaconess, co-leads a women’s Bible study, and, along with her daughter, sings on the Praise Team. Kathleen also volunteers on the maternity floor and with hospice at the local hospital. She wrote her first poem at the age of fourteen and doesn’t plan to stop expressing her heart through poetry as long as the Lord gives her life.view less
