I submit the name of Susan Turci.......truly an Angel sent from above! She works full-time, does volunteer work, strives to the nth degree to help others...... she has early-onset-Parkinsons Disease.....in spite of her serious health problems, she continues her drive to help others. susan has two children, one who lives away from home, and a young one who enlisted in the Marine Corp. recently.. presently serving duty at Camp Lejeune, N.C. Susan raised these kids alone, her husband committed suicide when her son was at the tender age of nine. she has nurtured her son alone, her daughter and son are seven years apart, he being the youngest.....her daughter had the advantage of a father early on. I feel certain her strength comes from her loving God way up there who watches over her every day, every hour of her day! I could go on and on about her virtues, she has many and is admired by those who know her struggles.
I nominate her as an "Angel Among Us".......she is deserving of that title!!!!

I know an angel who lives in Peru Mass. 26 Andes road Kelly towart is her name. She has rescued baby birds, baby bears, and baby raccoons and human babies and nursed them back to health. Her only son is grown and on his own so see uses her time to help all of God's creation to live here. She gives her love , time and resources to all in need ...unconditionally.. just as Christ does. Thanks

Mary Murphy in Lancaster Ohio has a nice home nestled in the country that she shares... with five veterans. She takes them to their Doctors appointments, feeds thems , gives them haircuts, treats them like family, helps them do what they want to get done, does there laundry, helps them with their medicine, takes them shopping and even gives them ice cream. She has one gentleman who is about 89 years old who was homeless and served in like 97 battles. Her help is not limited to veterans, she has helped anyone who has been in need since she herself was a child. Thank you sharonrose22002@yahoo.com
