Over the last 40 years my life has been wonderful.  I was blessed with a 35 year marriage to a wonderful husband, Charlie, who unfortunately passed away in 2003; we had two terrific daughters, Melissa and Deborah. Both of my daughters are now married, Missy to Marc and Debbie to Jerome. Missy & Marc have blessed me with two handsome Grandsons ~ Maxwell Charles & Mitchell Chris, born on January 17, 2005. Yes, twin boys! Debbie & Jay have given me my little princess Step-granddaughter, Ariana (who is 5). Life is quite a blessing for all of us.

I am employed as a HIV/AIDS Case Manager for BAMSI Case Management in Brockton, MA. I have worked for BAMSI for 10 years. My role as a Case Manager is both challenging and rewarding. Would I have seen myself here 40 years ago ... absolutely not. None of us knows what life has in store for us, we just have to make the best of it and live life to the fullest each and every moment. We all control our own destiny.

I want to give a special thank you to the planning committee of our "36th" reunion. They got me through the roughest and toughest time of my life, Without them I do not know if I would be where I am today. They all know who they are, but especially ... Howie Elkin, Myra Fine Sprince, Ellen Titelbaum Barman, Ellen Wolfson Abelson, Linda Finer Sherman, Linda Lawrence Kayla, Ronna Lapato Collins, Ellen Finstein Levine, Myrna (Miller) & Mike Altshuler, Jimmie Keating, Jeff Kublin, Milton Mahler, Vicki Cooper Mengel, Alan & Ronnie Karlsberg. You are all my special Angels. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for me.
