Family shapes us into the people we are. We choose to incorporate the strengths of our parents and grandparents. If wise, we learn from the mistakes of the past. This history illustrates one family’s legacy of love, faith, and tenacity. Stories of ordinary hard working people demonstrate strength and depth of character. No individual achieved fame or fortune. Instead, they lived through difficult circumstances and set an example of how to face adversity with strength and grace. Every family history contains intriguing stories. As this legacy sparks your own memories, don’t keep them to yourself. Build and share your legacy.
