    About Me

    My 11 yr old daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. My Dad passed away at 51 yrs old from liver cancer....miss him every day, we were very close. My 4 wk old nephew received a heart transplant, he is now 18 mths old & doing well. However, they can't tell us how long this heart will last. I work at the hospital as a Dialysis Assistant.

    Interests

    Spending time with my family & friends, they are the most important thing in my life. I like going for walks. We take the kids camping in the summer.

    • Close Bereavement

      My Dad passed away from liver cancer at the age of 51...I miss him very much. Him & I were very close. I watched him slowly deteriorate over the course of a year. He didn't want to be in the hospital, so we looked after him at home....and that is where he passed away. We buried him 5 days before Christmas, so each year it is an extra hard time. Where does the time go? Life will never be the same without him!
