Living through the passing of both my parents I found solace in my own spiritual guidance. Coming from a family that stretches on two continents I started to build our family tree. My mother's family is in England and my father's from different parts of the US. I found that my English cousin didn't know some family members that I knew and my American family is not as close as it used to be. While putting my family tree together I found this wonderful web site.

Death will come to each of us some day. We can die having fought hard for our beliefs and convictions, or we can die having failed to do so. Since the reality of death is the same in either case, isn't it far better that we set out on our journey toward the next existence in high spirits, with a bright smile on our faces, knowing that in everything we did, we did the very best we could, thrilling with the sense that " That was truly an interesting life"?
