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.
