==Mini Bio==
I grew up in [[Montebello, California]], second generation Angeleno.  My great grandparents emigrated from [[Germany]] in the 1800s. I represented California in "The Federation for Peace" conference in [[South Korea]] &  in [[India]].  I have [[Cubital tunnel syndrome]], and after 2 surgeries it worsens, so please forgive numb hands and typos.;-)  Graduated [[Summa Cum Laude]] from California State University in 1996.  I work part time in a mortuary.  [[Gallows humor]] is a survival mode often used to lighten the load of the work that we do.

;In my work as a Hospice Minister, I am often unavailable for several days at a time. Please take this into consideration when attempting to place a time limit on any request for a response.

;In March of 2013, I was diagnosed with [[Breast Cancer]]. After a partial [[Mastectomy]] I am still battling  due to the [[HER2/neu]].  Chemo Brain [[Post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment]] (VERY misleading Title!) is definitely NOT fun! Chemotherapy left me with Diabetes and peripheral neuropothy. I am still quite weak and it will be a long recovery. October 2015: Recovery is slow I am still quite weak from the cancer, [[Chemotherapy]] and [[Radiation]]. I am in remission but the murder of my police officer son, Shaun,  has slowed recovery considerably.
 
What is the difference between God and doctors?
God doesn't think he is a doctor.

I am continuously  learning the intricacies of Wikipedia, NOTHING should be this complicated; trolls are the epitome of evil.  Baseless accusations '''still''' stun me.

<div style ="color: black;">My other personal project is to educate people about  [[Ovarian Cancer]] It ''' Whispers'''  - so  listen carefully . . .
Watch for   -
* Pelvic or abdominal pain or discomfort;
*  vague but   persistent gastrointestinal upsets such as gas, nausea, and  indigestion;
*  frequency  and/or urgency of urination in the absence of an  infection;
*   unexplained  weight gain or weight loss;
*   pelvic and/or  abdominal swelling, bloating and/or feeling of  fullness;
*   ongoing unusual  fatigue; Do NOT chalk it up to depression!
*   unexplained  changes in bowel habits.
*If symptoms  persist for more than 2 weeks, ask your doctor for a combination  pelvic/rectal exam and
:and trans-vaginal ultrasound. A CA-125 blood  test is not infallible. More on new test as I find it.
A pap test WILL  NOT detect ovarian cancer. </div>

On October 29,2014, my SWAT policeman son was murdered while on duty. He was given a hero's funeral rivaling that of Kennedy's. The flag was flown at half staff in Sacramento and Governor Brown attended his funeral]  Please google "Shaun Diamond" for the details.  I am destroyed.  See [[List of American police officers killed in the line of duty]] October 29, 2014. I thought God broke my heart to prove, He only takes the best ♥ R.I.P. TES He proved it beyond belief when my son was murdered. He was MY best and I am lost without him.
