It began with my mama...she was 48 years old when I was born and I took very good care of her and as time continued I realized I was very good at it and enjoyed caring for others needing my services. My sister and I learned about giving from both our parents. I also worked at the L.A. TIMES newspaper for over 17 years before returning to healthcare...that was something else i was very good at, Telecommunications. Most of my income went to private schools for my children in LOS ANGELES and COLORADO 1993-1998 loved it! But was ready to return home in 2017.Im most proud of my adult children and grandchildren. I love..movies..dominoes...music and dancing ..........I'm honest ,dependable, ..non- smoker..
