Fill your life with adventures, not things... Have stories to tell... not stuff to show.
Gordon Snidow, Artist

Colette has lived by this motto since being a cancer survivor and doesn’t pass up an opportunity to make memories or do something daring. Whether it's learning how to fly in a Piper Cub, taking an aerobatic inverted flight over Lake Michigan, rafting down the Colorado River, or creating and managing a fan club for the grandchildren of country music legends Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn - each day is a gift. Spending time with family is always treasured, especially with 73 nieces and nephews (including greats). And spoiling a new grandson is the BEST!
