During my first year at the U of U, I married Serge Grossi and we had 4 children. In 1984 we moved to Mission Viejo, Calif (southern California). Throughout this time I continued my college studies and graduated from Calif State Univ Fullerton and received a BA in Psychology. Later I is received my MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine Univ, then another MA in Educational Psychology. I've been working as a college professor in a doctoral program, psychotherapist, school psychologist, and educational consultant for too many years to count. A big part of my practice is counseling for the Marines at Camp Pendleton. (My private practice info is below). In 1995, I experienced the worst day in my life. My eldest son, Jason, died of a ruptured aorta. The greatest day of my life was the day he was born and I became a mother, and the worst day of my life was the day he died. It was a profound change in my life and in the lives of my family. Shortly thereafter, my husband, Serge, and I divorced. We decided we made better friends than spouses. I have since remarried to Ray Pasillas. I became a grandmother this year, and we are all so excited. Of all my careers and degrees, nothing is more satisfying for me than being a mother and grandmother. I really enjoy my family. We have a lot of fun when we are together. With my daughter living in Germany and family in Italy, Switzerland, and France, I am able to travel alot. This is my favorite thing to do (next to sailing!) Following my son's death, we discovered a family heart condition that later took my mother, brother, 2 cousins, and 10 plus relatives. I have undergone two open heart surgeries and multiple other surgeries to be around. But enough of that. A friend once said, "When you start talkin 'Procedures', you know you're gettin old!" So I'll end with that!
