Sherry's Story

I married Jerry Ross in 1965, I had 3 boys by him.I was divorced & married to my 2nd husband Kippy Seal, no childrenby him. I worked at Slidell Memorial Hospital as a phlebotimist for 5 yyes. I left them to go to work as a sheriffs deputy dispatcher for St Tammany Parish Sheriffs office, working with Pat Canulette. I loved my job.I divorced my 2nd husband and continued working for the sheriffs office for 7yrs.My oldest son Jerry married and gave me twin granddaughters, a yr later a grandson.They lived with me along with my sons David & Randy Ross.I moved to Charleston ,S.Carolina close to my mom & went to work at 2 hospitals there.I went to work as a medical assistant for a gastroenteroligist there. While working there my youngest 31yr son Randy was murdered in N.Orleans in Sept 2002. He left behind 2 children under 5. My life was shattered and I was unable to continue working. I moved to Jasper ,All to take care of my fathers wife until she passed away in 2004. My dad raised catfish & ducks which I took over to helphim. My middle son David had moved to Ms. & I took time to help him set up his house. While I was there he was in a Method lab explosion, lucky I was there he was dumped by the people with him, he would have died. I was able to get him stable and to the hospital where they transported him to Baton Rouge burn unit, he was burned 80% of his body. I slept on the floor while learning to debrey & bandage him. I had to bring him to my dads where everyday for 5 wks I had to sterilize bathe & bandage him 3 hrs a day. When he was able to return home a yr later Katrina blew trees down on his home, once again he moved in with my dad & me. A yr later my mother had an anuresm & we went...Expand for more
to S.Carolina to be with her, we returned home & a WK later she passed away. David got into drugs again my dad fell & broke his hip, David was able to help me. We went back & forth to hospital in Birmingham until we could bring dad home. David was able to stay off drugs to bathe, feed & bandage dad. I thought he was doing great until my dad passed away & David flipped out. My father had said everything he had would be mine, he failed to tell me everything was mortgaged, try as I could I lost it all when I turned David in to police. He was extridiated back to Slidell & in 2010 he was sentenced to 2 life sentences for 3 strikes law for nonviolent drug charges and is now in Angola.I bottomed out, my jeep blew engine, I moved to a campground and worked cleaning to pay my bills.I got very sick 2010 Nov. I couldn't work so I had to move my old camper. I was in the bad April 2011 tornados that did damage to my camper. In Aug.2011 I was rushed to surgery with colon cancer, they removed most of my lg colon. I was by myself so they had to keep me hospitalized 2 mos.David didn't know what had happened to me since I hadn't written him. I made arrangements to go see him when I was released. I finally moved back to Slidell May 2012, hoping to get help from my son. I've been taking care of his father-in-law since then. I still have no car, I live on 700, or I try to get by on it, but I pay half the bills here & my medical bills. I still know I will find a job so I can get out of this situation & a car & place of my own.I won't give up....My mom raised an independent women. Gosh didn't mean to rattle on, sure would like to hear from friends. Take care, oh I'm 2.6 yes cancer free, God is good. Sherry
