Tami KISSINGER
Program Co-Director
I would like to thank Friends Forever of Colorado for hiring me for the Director Job along with Elizabeth Roberts. I have been a Christian since I was 7 years old and have led VBS, Sunday School, and many other events at my church. I have two sons, Danny who is 25, Joey who is 23. Both participate in Friends Forever. I have had God calling me and putting on my heart to work with the IDD adult community for awhile now. I have been a leader for almost 3 years. I cannot wait to see how God Blesses me and helps me grow with working with all the people involved. I can be reached 24/7 at 720-296-3288.
Elizabeth ROBERTS
Program Co-Director
In case you don’t know me, a little bit about me is that I have been a leader now for a few years at Friends Forever and love it especially our camping trips! I am currently a Residential Program Manager for NMCS for about a year and half now. I have been at NMCS for about 8 ½ years now and have had various roles. I have two daughters Joyia and Jalena that are 18 and 21 and are my world. I also have a 5-pound little dog Bunny, who I enjoy taking on walks and exploring new places. I am originally from San Diego, California. The things I miss about San Diego are lifelong friends, the weather, the beach and of course be able to wear sandals and shorts all year long. My hobbies include reading, exploring new areas and hiking trails, listening to music, dancing, crystals, jewelry making, and crafts.
I am extremely excited for what is to come for all of us here at Friends Forever!
If you need anything, please feel free to reach out to me via phone at 619-876-8938 or e-mail at elizabeth.roberts@nmetro.org.

Sharon AYRE
This has been a big year for me, as I retired from being an RN at St. Anthony’s after 41 years!! I knew that I wanted to spend time involved in a ministry that made a real difference in the lives of those it served. Friends Forever has made such a positive impact in my daughter Christie’s life. The love, fellowship and fun have added so much joy and meaning to her life. The leadership of this ministry is amazing, and I look forward to serving these wonderful people with them!
