Three generations of ACE Biloxi

What is unique about your community?

Supposedly any given ACE community has a maximum of 7 members. The possums living in our attic put us over the edge. No one has been brave enough to find the possum hole under the house yet.

Provide a brief description of Biloxi:

Pascagoula is a small southern town full of people who embody southern hospitality. Situated on the lovely Gulf of Mexico, we can catch great sunsets from the city pier. The lady at the bank has a folder that stays on her desk just for the ACErs. Both downtown stoplights turn to flashing yellow after 7:00 every night. It’s quaint. And humid. But wonderfully welcoming and the school community takes great care of the ACErs.

What do you like most about Biloxi?

The greater community of the area is wonderful. ACE has been part of the community for fifteen years and the families embrace us from day one. They show us true “southern hospitality.” Also, our house is a place we are proud to call home. We enjoy nights on our wrap-around porch where the sweet smell of our hibiscus flowers lend to great conversation and friendship. With the Gulf less than two miles away, a walk on the beach at sunset makes living here truly paradise – especially considering that we work with angels!
