Total Recall Matters
Monday, my 54-years-of-life son ran his 54th 26.2 marathon. And it gets better. It was his 13th-in-a-row Boston Marathon run. That is enough to celebrate, but for this mama, it represents “Nothing is impossible with God!” These photos represent God’s goodness and mercies, which includes our precious Shawntel who is Ryan’s most devoted cheerleader and…
Running our Races with Purpose
It’s been almost ten years since our eleven children and grands along with about twenty others ran or walked with us in Tulsa’s Route 66 Marathon to honor my husband who had graduated to heaven the Tuesday before. That Sunday morning we wore our red “Run for Ron” t-shirts. It had all been planned before…

With our children and grandchildren at my side, we would go home and continue the celebration…
Welcome Home!

We Ran…..Because We Could!
My husband’s Memorial Service was on Friday, and on Sunday, we ran the Tulsa Route 66 Marathon in his honor. He was paralyzed during his final weeks of life, so we celebrated that we COULD run/walk. Over 25 of us showed up with our red “Run for Ron” t-shirts. It was the 5th marathon in…
