I believe in the sanctity of family and how important our connections are to those no longer here and those remaining. Their words and recollections are so meaningful and should be treasured and passed down to future generations. Those nuggets of lives lived hold within them the power to inspire, uplift and light the way as we venture forth in our lives.
