    • About Me

      Love to help people, thankful that I am not where I was, and optimistic about where I'm going. I have 4 children ages 24, 22, 18 and 13. I have one grandchild who had Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) he lived for 93 wonderful minutes. We were all there to give him a life time of love before he went home to be with Jesus. I love animals, comedy, having fun and hanging out with family.

      My sweet grandson Yeshua was born on 02/27/07, he was with us for 93 remarkable minutes, then he went home to Jesus. He touched each one of our hearts in the short time he was with us. We miss him so much. My daughter decided to have a c-section because we were told he would not survive labor. I am honored to have been in the delivery room when he was born. Our lives will never be the same!
