My Special Angel e-bog

"e;My Special Angel, Miss Beverly Ann Brown,"e; is a story celebrating the life of a person who was born in 1962 and diagnosed at birth as a "e;Mongoloid,"e; later known as Down's syndrome. At that time many "e;mentally retarded"e; persons as they were referred to, were institutionalized at birth or kept at home as "e;closet children."e; Because they were believed to be unteachable, there were no schools or vocational workshops to even try to teach them. Change was coming and I believe that God's purpose for Beverly on earth was to be a part of that change of the attitude toward and the mistreatment and neglect of the mentally challenged. Even at a young age, Beverly was a blessing spreading God's love with her hugs to everyone she met. Through her experiences on her life's journey and her desire for independence, this red-haired, energetic, beautiful lady was instrumental in helping to pave the way for other mentally challenged persons. At age fifty-five, when Beverly had fulfilled her mission and purpose on earth, God called her home.
