Diane's Story
Life
My Pets:
We miss having pets. They were always a source of comfort. Sadly, I became allergic to our dog and then our cat.
My Kids:

Workplace
I went from food service to manufacturing. Then I was co-owner in an electronics repair business. I also spent some time in the nursing and accounting fields. In my spare time, I did the best I could in caring for 4 children. My husband and I are now happily retired.
