I am one of those who are concerned about the lively hood of Southern Illinois. I grew up here, know many people that matter and many people that shouldn't matter. I will tell it like it is, I say Soda and Not POP. I realize when I have made a mistake, I say I am sorry when I am wrong and I treat others with respect as long as they do the same for me. I am a mother of three children. I go out, have fun, but also know when it is time to get serious. I am a Southern gal at heart, and remain faithful to Southern Illinois always. I stay true and honest in a world full of hatred and lies.
