I was born and raised in Brooklyn NY. I am the oldest of 6 boys and presently live in Queens NY. I have been a registered nurse since 1993 and today I work as a visiting nurse. I am happily and thankfully married to DaRon Lamar Williams. In 1995 my signifi cant other died from complication of AIDS and during my grieving process I felt compelled to write the story of our life and my 1st year without him. My desire to write this book was inside of me for 14 years until I actually began writing. Now after 4 years of writing I am publishing for the world to read a sweet and tender love story and how I survived such heart-ache.
