Guns Across America!: Save Our Children (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781986356220)

My name is Shirley Lopez. I was born to a humble family in the hills of Kentucky. At the age of five years, I moved to Mansfield, Ohio where I received my education and grew up with the knowledge that someday, I would become a writer. At the age of ten, I wrote articles for Reader's Digest and a popular song that is still sung in country music. Both my parents and my only brother passed away leaving me to be alone but not lonely. I married my husband and moved to Holland, Michigan. While living in Holland, I attended Davenport University and Hope College. I got my degrees in Business Administration and Computer Science. I adopted four children that my husband had in his previous marriage as their mother had passed, and I wanted very much to care and love them. I also had one son, Michael, who married Karen Jenks and blessed me with two granddaughters. The girls Abigail and Chole have become the light of my life. My oldest daughter blessed me with two children as well. Kathryn Jones has a son Victor, who I am very proud of with all his achievements and successes in life. She has a daughter, Jessica, who is very beautiful and blessed me with two great-granddaughters, Mia and Harper. My other daughter, Cynthia Eastman, has four children whom I am proud to say are handsome and beautiful as well. The oldest granddaughter, Chanel and the youngest daughter, Cecilia, gave us Luna Marie. The youngest son Jacob and Vinnie, his wife, is now expecting a baby soon. Cindy's oldest son, Anthony, blessed the family with his son Colton and daughter Addy. His wife Sarah is expecting again soon. Colton, my only great-grandson, is a real fighter. At the age of three, he was found to have cancer in his eye, and it had to be removed. He is a fighter and a winner! I lived many years in Holland, Michigan raising my family among the tulips enjoying the parade and the quaint town along the lakeshore. Not only is Holland famous for its Tulip Time Parade, but it also has a beautiful beach along Lake Michigan. My husband Fermin, who is many years older than I, is a true soldier himself. He worked for forty-seven years at H.J. Heinz USA before he retired. He now has suffered from open heart surgery and multiple strokes. Kenneth, our son, recently married Jodi, and they live very happily in Saugatuck, Michigan. The oldest son Aaron lives in Holland. In conclusion, we hope that you enjoy reading my books. I wish to thank all of you for your support. May God Bless---
