From the Heart Jeanette Silvia

"I was born in Frenchville, Maine. A small suburb of Northern Aroostook
County, Maine. I am of French decent. I was born September Eleven, Nineteen
Thirty-Nine. My Father was a Farmer and my Mother was a Housewife.
I have one Sister and three Brothers. We settled in Presque Isle, Maine, where
I graduated in Nineteen Fifty-Eight and married the same year. I have Five
Children. Wendy, John, Douglas, Lisa and Carrie. I am proud of my children
and my eight Grand-Children. I have one beautiful Great-Grandson.
I retired from The Travelers Insurance, in Nineteen Eighty-Eight. We moved
to Florida, 13 years ago. I always liked writing and putting down my thoughts
on paper. I wrote a Poem to my Aunt, whom I love dearly. I wrote her a Poem,
telling her how much she meant to me, I named the Poem ?Touched?.
After reading the Poem and seeing how it had touched her, that gave me the
courage to write more. After that day I continued writing. My Poems are all
personal, I get great satisfaction out of writing Poems for family and friends. My
favorite one is ?Katrina?. This Poem was written in tribute to the people that
lost their lives and to the ones that suffered so from that great tragedy.
My hobbies are writing Poems, Cross Stitching, and doing Sudoku Puzzles.
I enjoy going out to dinner with my husband of Thirty One years."
