About Michele

Caregiver all my life! I am the oldest! To take care of and assist the elders. Watched my once vibrant well traveled organized Shriner member Air Force grandfather diminished before my eyes with diabetes and dementia. For someone who has been skinny all his life be stricken with Diabetes! Lost him in 2009. Uncle Anthony, best friend ten years apart, obesity and congestive heart failure, renal failure in 2011, and my Pop Pop, was never told he was sick until the day before with bladder cancer in January. I am so blessed and honored to achieve the greatness of knowing and loving them for 42 years of my life. Husband and I are military brats, been also caregiving him for six years, married for three. He suffers with TBI sustained since 17 and seizure disorder. Been blessed with a son, whom blessed me with Audrey(Peanut), 8 months. He is also in the military. With a broad set of skills and life experiences, with family and working in the school system with special needs students, feel it prepared me to further work with the older population
