David Nelson, Maintenance

David NelsonMy wife Shirley and I have lived in Tallahassee, Florida since 1990. I work part time at Southern Scholarship Foundation on the FSU campus providing sixteen houses for students. Shirley works part time in a home health agency and loves her work as do I. In 2003 my step-son and his wife adopted two children, a boy (8) and his sister (3). They also have two sons of thier own. We sold our house and they sold thiers and we looked to find a house large enough for the eight of us. We felt that we were needed to be there with the children when the parents were away on business as they often are. Between Shirley and I we have 19 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. We are members of Fellowship Baptist Church. We praise the Lord for everything He has done and will do in our lives.
