When I was in fourth grade my class spent a month learning about lighthouses. I became totally fascinated by lighthouses — enthralled by their role as beacons, warning of treacherous waters, and as coastal chaperones, guiding sailors into safe harbors. My dad always took an interest in my interests, doing everything he could to cultivate and nurture my passions. He took me to nearly every lighthouse within […]

We are so blessed to have you as our daughter.
We love you forever,

Thank you Joann
Hannah,
You are so speccial!! Your father used to pick Britta up from her sleep overs on Saturday or Sunday mornings and I cherished our talks, I alway made the girls the “authenic” cocoa and he was amazed. He was so humble, making cocoa was NOTHING compared to all the wonder he created with the earth and his gift from God!!
Wonder why your father gave Britta horses?? LOL
One time we were at at horse show in Del Mar, Britta and Paris were two of the last kids there, they were waiting to be picked up. I had to go back for something, and I turned the corner, and Britta was galloping up and down the rows of stalls on a BROOM as her horse.
I lost it, she was probably about 13 or so. I rode stick horses as a kid-we always played Bonanza but I can’t remember riding a broom!!! I plan to tell this story @ her wedding so make sure I am invited!!
Love you and yours,
Carol Duncan
I laughed out loud! That’s hysterical. Britta for sure!
