I married Lynn Alexander, State Farm Agent and I have two beautiful children, a daughter Tymber age 17 attending CHS (of course), son Taylor age 10, grown step-son Eric, T.I. Engineer lives in Wylie and a grown step-daughter Jennifer, her husband Gary live in Lubbock and two AWESOME grandkids, grandson Hunter age 10 (grandson is three weeks older than my son: Father of the Bride, Part II - mother & daughter prego's at the same time) and precious granddaughter, Anabelle age 2 (MiMi sunshine), three dogs, three cats and three inside turtle doves (the Alexander's Zoo).  My father, Weldon Sikes is living just a few block from my home and my Mom went home to the Lord three years ago.  One brother, Russell and his wife Brenda (Maddin) live in Lubbock and the other brother Weldon, Jr lives in Austin.  I have eight neices & nephews and am very proud of all of them.  Interesting fact that most people dont' know about me is that my daughter & I did the bonding thing by taking Tae Kwon Do and accompanished our third degree red belt.  I am not sure we will go for our black belt, since this "old" lady has to fight three guys to acheive that black belt thing and maybe I am just too old for that - we will see!

After college, moved to Austin and became a drug pusher (aka pharm rep) with Milex Southern, then moved back to Lubbock to get married.

In 1992, the man upstairs had plans that would rock my world.  I became the vessel that God used to start Lubbock Victim Assistance Services, Inc. and the executive director for the last 15 years.  L.V.A.S. is  a program for survivors of violent crime and their families.  L.V.A.S. provides information, referrals & criminal justice system support, as well as personal support, directional support, allowing the victim to have a voice in their case.  Ensuring that all victims are treated with fairness, dignity & compassion.  I really enjoy what I do & if I can make just a little part of a victim life easier, then I find my job totally rewarding.

I missed the 10 & 20 year reunions, but am SO glad I was apart of the 30 year.  I really enjoyed reconnecting with good friends and starting lasting friendships with others.  If you didn't make the reunion - make plans to go to the 35 years - for this shy, quiet high school girl - it was a GREAT experience.  Thanks again to Ron, Alice, Lisa, Mikell and Teri - these guys are outstanding leaders in our community!  I am proud to have been apart (small part) of the committee and look forward to being on the nostalgia committee.  Thanks again for the great reunion!
