My mother is the strongest person I know and if ever I can become
half the woman she is I will consider myself lucky.
She is Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Sister,
Aunt and Friend! She has selflessly served our community for as long
as I can remember as a Deputy Sheriff with the Okeechobee County
Sheriff's Department and a nurse for Okeechobee Health Care Facility.
She always has a kind word or bright smile for someone who needs it.
In June 2013 she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she took the
news like the true champ that she is, she never lost her composure!
She had the first round of chemo and again took it like a true champ!
Never has she complained, griped or boo hoo'd about any of it! She
started the new round of chemo 10/02/13. The whole week before this
particular chemo started she was an anxious mess. She had done some
reading on the type of chemo she was going to start and the side
effects that were listed had her all worked up. That first day she had
the chemo, that night she had a heart attack. They stinted the 100%
blockage but now has an 70% blockage and an 80% blockage and possibly
a block in her right leg. The doctors want to treat the cancer before
they treat the heart. It will be a long process! But I know in my
heart that she will come out victorious against all that is thrown at
her! She has amazing strength and will power! She is truly MY HERO!
Any support weather financial or just emotional that anyone gives is
greatly appreciated. We have a long road ahead and probably not an
easy one!
