Gloria J Rovay's quote collection
I'm female, taken from the United States and made my book on 29th October 2009.
My book as a pdfShort profile
I am a lover of words.
Full info
I am currently sorting through my storage room filled with some treasures and enough items that I am donating or discarding. I had 3 children. My daughters are married and very successful, but my son died in 2002. He died from cancer, but he died saying he loved us. It is beyond words. I write a private google group in which I can write freely. I get private responses of a personal nature. In my life I have experienced the highest and lowest emotions. I do what I want usually. This annoys some people, but I keep a low profile whilst speaking and writing the truth.
