Devora

FROM OHIO

Hi and good afternoon I am 55 years old my name is Devora I have alway been a kind of woman who love to serve others and I was a nurse assistant, house keeper, babysitter, home health aide, and a cook and prepared meals for my neighborhood especially on thanksgiving and christmas to my neighborhood people. No matter what it is. My mother Carol and grandmother Lona both were bedridden. Both had diabetes and heart conditions. And I help to feed, wash clothes, bathe, assisting with grooming as well. Through it all I love my mother and grandmother. And I would do it all over again. And now that they are both gone and they were both born again christians I know I can be at peace I know they are both in heaven resting in peace and God love.
