Jane Murdock - 2003-08-28
I have always been a social worker and spent a very long time working for the State of Missouri. Got sober January 21, 1981.  Earned my Masters of Social Work at Washington University, St. Louis, in 1990, moving into community health and family therapy.

Lived in Kansas City for a couple of years where I worked at Truman Medical Center and survived a 1993 bout of breast cancer (one of my Truman MC residents did the mastectomy!).
Moved to Arizona in 1994 and love the weather -- it's a DRY heat!!!  The last 7 years I have been a hospice social worker, now working with Hospice of the Valley in the Phoenix area, as part of a team serving terminally ill patients and their families in their homes.  My role is to help with "business things" and to provide emotional support to help everyone cope as illness progresses to its natural outcome.  This is THE most rewarding work I have ever done and a marvelous culmination to a social work career.

And I live with Peggy Giron, licensed massage therapist, with her own spa:  A Healing Heart Massage and Spa Treatments, or AHH SPA.  Family and friends shared our Commitment Ceremony was April 5, 1997, at Denver's Metropolitan Community Church.  We are each doing work we love and feel very fortunate and blessed for our lives today.
