I have never met anyone more indicative of the Christmas spirit, than my next door neighbor Marie Kerr.
Even though her husband has Lou Gherigs disease, and requires assistance with the every day tasks that you and I take for granted. She not only manages to take care of him, but has become second mom to many of the children in the neighborhood.
As a retired school teacher, many working mothers have relied on her to watch their children and to help them with their homework and school projects.
You would think that would be enough to keep her busy, but not Marie! She has also taken in a young "at risk" girl, to give her a better life.As if that'snot enough, Marie volunteers at the local church, and has purchased a room full of christmas presents for needy children. Although, knowing Marie, I am sure that she would still find time to make a holiday dinner for her family and friends, I thought it would be nice to have someone else do the cooking for someone who always spends so much time doing for others!
P.S.
She also has volunteered to walk the dogs of neighbors while they work!
Besides her own, she walks 2 neighbors, and has just taken in a stray! Her giving never ends!
