… is Juli An Ormsby!!!
Here is what her daughter, Jessica, wrote for the nomination.
“I would like to nominate my Mother, Juli Ann Ormsby. I know this contest is called “Love in Action… See More” and would normally be the love between a man and his wife, but my Dad passed away in 2003 after losing his battle with cancer. The reason why I choose to nominate my Mom is because of her unfailing devotion to her hospice. During my Dad’s sickness, we used our local hospice chapter for help and support. After he passed away, my Mom decided to begin volunteering as a hospice helper. She regularly visits patients with cancer–sometimes the very strand of cancer that defeated my Dad–with grace, charity, and kindness. She is visiting me for a few weeks, but called her local florist to make sure that her current cancer client had flowers for Easter. I find her devotion to self-less volunteering a true inspiration; personally, I couldn’t volunteer for hospice because of the fact that it is too close to my heart. But, my Mom has chosen to take the pain of loss and turn it into a fire of devoted volunteering to families that are suffering the same emotions as ours did. She knows what they are feeling and uses her own experiences to minister of God’s love to them in their dark times. I love my Mom - even if this entry is simply a testament of her strength and character, I will be over-joyed to give her the recognition she so deserves.”
Congratulations Juli and we look forward to meeting you!!! ~Jessica & David
