About Mary

I came up in a small community where everyone was considered a neighbor. If someone was ill or in their hour of passing everyone would pitch in and lend a helping to give the family member a time of relief to mentally and physically get themselves a moment of rest. So when it came time to think about my career in life this is what I decided to do, because I saw how much this could help in society. I have reached the satisfaction that I wanted because I have also been able to help a lot of family members, and I have made a great amount of true friends over my years of caregiving. I like watching scary movies, fishing, playing video action games, and most of all I love family togetherness.
