    The real estate industry has played an important role in the lives of Sammee and Ralph Foster. Not only are they the owners of Sunshine Properties GMAC Real Estate, but they met through this line of work that eventually united them in marriage 10 years ago. “We were friends for 16 years before we got married,” said Sammee, smiling at Ralph, seated next to her. “We both have a common goal; we work too much.” Sammee said things have worked out well because they do the same type of work and they work the same kinds of hours....

    Updated Jul 5, 2007

One of the all-time most popular television series was “Cheers.” Set in an unspectacular sports bar in Boston, it featured a lineup of characters who were all a few ticks off center, nearly drove each other crazy, but hung together anyway out of friendship and necessity. Like the theme song said: “Where everybody knows your name, and th...

    Updated Jul 5, 2007

    At times we ask ourselves what we truly believe. Does God truly hear our prayers? Does he send comfort in our time of need? I was questioning all of the above as my life irreversibly changed becoming a widow and sole support of my little seven-year-old son who looked up to me for security when my safety net was also abruptly taken away. At the time we lived on nearly two acres butted up against a ravine. The entire westerly vista of our house was glass which made it a haven for sunsets but left me feeling vulnerable and sleep... Full story
