This book is a labor of love. The stories of the exceptional people that God placed me in the middle of through family just had to be told. Through all the visits, the miles driven, and the hours shared, I never dreamed that it all would lead to a book. There are so many stories about these wonderful people. At the core of all their lives is a love and dedication to Jesus Christ. To say that their lives were beautiful, a reflection of our Savior would be an understatement.
