In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.
-- Alex Haley

That Every Life is Noted and is Cherished. And Nothing Loved is Ever Lost or Perished. ~Madeleine L'Engle

Along the Road
I walked a mile with Pleasure
She chattered all the way,
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow
And ne'er a word said she;
But oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me.
Robert Browning Hamilton

The final act of love, is to remember...
