THE FAM!
My immediate family consists of Otan Ayan - husband, Jess McBride - sister (below), Rita J. McBride - mom and John J. McBride - dad.

JESSIE McBRIDE
Jessie McBride: My sister is the cutest kid! She is my only sibling, younger by 2 years. She is one of the wittiest people I know. The girl is really good at impressions as well as impromptu and can make your tummy hurt from laughing!

Rita J. McBride: My mom has a B.S. in Animal Science from the University of Georgia, Athens. She is a very interesting person - she is quite intellectual, very sensible and extremely positive and fun-loving. I feel very lucky to be bonded to her in a way that noone else is (except my sister, of course!). Her main hobbies have involved animals, mainly: Black Welsch Mountain Sheep, Great Pyrenees guard dogs, Border Collie stock dogs, angora rabbits, parrots, etc. In addition, she really enjoys being outside and with her family. For the past year, she has held the position of Office Manager for Shepherd's Gate Hospice and is doing extremely well.

John J. McBride: My dad is an awesome mentor and father. I have learned a lot academically, socially and emotionally from him. He is a very considerate and reasonable man who has spent his life dealing with people through the clergy, business and otherwise. His life`s goal has been to help people as much as possible. He worked for 7 years as a volunteer pastor for an Atlanta hospice - in addition to his full-time employment with AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) - subsequent to his 10 year committment as a Catholic priest. Presently, he runs Shepherd`s Gate Hospice, Covington, GA. For any information about Shepherd's Gate Hospice or hospice in general, please feel free to contact:
