\u201cMy husband was an auto-body man. He loved to fix up cars, trucks, paint them, and all that stuff. He had bought an old truck, late 80\u2032s model Chevy 1\/2 ton pick-up truck for our son as a gift. He had fixed the body and had painted half of it.

And she knew it too, perhaps more since Maureen was such the skeptic. It was a sure sign, and one also for Maureen, who is now a believer!<\/p>\n

It seems like it was just yesterday when I met Maureen, a woman who didn\u2019t trust a soul. Regardless of this, I knew I was up for the challenge, as I had the direct-line to someone that was waiting who had so much to offer her. Let me share the story.
