I am Deborah Godard. I lived with my parents and four sisters in the village of Cahokia, Illinois. I married a wonderful man and we have 7 grown children. Now we have 19 amazing grandchildren. I am a retired elementary teacher who loves to read books to children. What I like best is when I hear a child read to me!
