I was very fortunate and blessed to be able to be an At Home Mother to my 6 kids and a diligent wife to my late husband. I have loved this job tremendously and have never given up. I have raised my children and now help to raise our Grandchildren. Though my Husband is no longer on this journey with me, my kids/grandkids are right behind me all the time!
