Meet Our Honoree
Today, we are honoring reader extraordinaire, Denise Anderson. Here’s a bit about Denise: “I’m a wife of forty-three years and a proud mother of two sons and one daughter. I’m a grandmother of ten. I come from a large family where I’m the fifth child of eight. I work at Emory University as a Cardiovascular/Respiratory Technologist. I love spending some of my off days volunteering at the women’s shelter, food pantry, homeless shelter and the Winship foundation for cancer. In my spare time, I read and spend time with family and friends.
I attend House of Hope, where the lead minister is Pastor E. Dewy Smith Jr. My prayer for you during this time, is that you will lean on the Lord and let love ones know you love them. Use your phone often and face time just to see their faces. Remember to be safe, everyone. Love you all.”
