    About Me

    I am a nurse that recently had a total thyroidectomy and diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I have a daughter who will be 2 in November.

    Interests

    I love to listen to music and to read. I love anything related to my daughter. I play computer games with my husband. I used to sing in a gospel group prior to my surgery...hoping to be able to do that again!

    • I’m With You

      From denita November 30, 2007

      Hi Nicole: My name is Denita, you can get acquainted with me by reading my page. I have written a book for people who have lost loved ones. It is based on the Word of God and my own experience of loss. It is small but powerfully focuses you on coming out of grief, receiving your infilling of healing and going on in life with more power and more love. I know this will strengthen you for your days ahead. I give this as a gift to those at this site. Just let me know if you would like a copy; I will mail it to you along with a worship CD by Judy Jacobs. denita
