Laurie Nersten is the mother of three wonderful teenaged children: Hayley, Matthew, and Taylor. As a family they love going to the beach and spending time with extended family. Laurie enjoys volunteering at Calvary Bible Church, assisting with the youth. Laurie trained and worked in the information field but has dedicated the last six years to caring for Hayley and homeschooling between appointments and different treatment plans. Her strong Christian faith has helped her to keep focused on all of God's promises and remain positive. Laurie looks forward to the day she and her husband, Anthony, can spend quiet days by the lake. They currently reside in Collier County, Florida.
