When I think of our family and what I would like for us to embrace is this short message. No man knows the minute or the hour, so for that reason and that reason alone, we ALL should take advantage of every opportunity given to us to enjoy our family and friends. As long as God gives us breath in our bodies—it should be our priority to do His will and LOVE one another. God Bless You All,
Pamela

We Tell Their Story - A Family Reunion Poem When we celebrate new life or weep over lives lost, we rise and tell their story. Their lives imprinted in our memory never to be forgotten, we rise to tell their story. When we hear their voices in our own laughter and their song becomes the music of our lives. As we grow older and their conviction becomes our own, we rise to tell their story. When we're trying to remember something in time long forgotten and they are suddenly there stealing the scene and teaching us now what we could not understand then, we rise to tell their story. When we visit the old homestead and smell the sweet smells, touch the textures as our hearts breath suddenly revived reliving moments long forgotten their lives rewritten in minds, we rise to tell their story. When we are
comforted by the sweet assurance that when we reach our destiny and
come to rest we will neither be alone nor be forgotten. For then
you, our sons and daughters will surely have to rise and tell our
story. Because we we're born and we've been laid to rest and for all of life's celebrations in between we will once again awaken in someone's memory who found a reason to step back into the past and touch a memory resurrected and rise and tell our story. And, O what a sweet, sweet story you will have to tell. Author - Mark Askew, founder, Legendary Heritage Heirlooms
