About Me
I was born in Houston, TX, the fourth of five children. I work part-time at a county hospital and volunteer in the same. It is very rewarding. I am a proud aunt of five and a great-aunt of five. It's the next best thing to being a parent and grandparent. God has been very good to me-my life was saved when I got hit by a drunk driver at a bus stop. I have a rod where my left femur was, as well as pins in my left ankle. But I am up and about.
