- Reba
- I am thankful to be a child of God. I have been married to my best friend for nine years, and have the most beautiful daughter in the world. My ultimate goal is to be a fully devoted follower of God. Only He can enable me to be the wife and mother I should be.
Punky
Here is our amazing and very smart little 6 year old. She is everything I have ever wanted in a little girl. I thank God for her every day.
