My passions in life are my family, genealogy,
gardening, and writing.
I started climbing my family tree when I was twelve, and haven't stopped yet!
Many of my ancestors came to America for religious reasons.
I have traced them through just about every war that America
has had or taken part in.

Turning Hearts comes from the last verse in of Malachi 4: 6 .

QUOTES AND POEMS THAT I LIKE:

It is a second death after you are forgotten.
How many generations does it take, even in a close knit family, for the fabric to unravel....?
Albert Lewis, Jewish Rabbi

"The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone." Harriet Beecher Stowe

"And death hath come upon our fathers; nevertheless we know then, for a Book of Remembrance we have written among us, according to the pattern of God. Moses 6: 45-46

It isn't the date on either end that counts
But how they used their dash
For that dash between the dates
Represent the time they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them know
What that little line is worth.
William Elliot Dudley

Those we love, don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen, unheard, but always near
--Still loved, still missed and
Very dear.

WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO
Cancer is so limited..
It cannot cripple Love
It cannot shatter Hope
It cannot corrode Faith
It cannot destroy Peace
It cannot kill Friendship
It cannot suppress Memories
It cannot silence Courage
It cannot invade the Soul
It cannot steal Eternal Life
It cannot conquer the Spirit
Cancer is so limited!

Transition by William Cullen Bryant
So live that when that summons
comes to join
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not like the quarry slave
at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained
and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach
thy grave
Like one who wraps the draperies of
his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant
dreams.

Grief never ends,
but it changes.
It is a passage,
not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of
weakness or a lack of faith...
it is the price of love.

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

When our hearts turn to our ancestors, something changes inside us. We feel part of something greater than ourselves. Russell M Nelson "Generations Linked in Love"

"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep to know our heritage-to know who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness."
