We are not here by chance.   We have come here through the lives and loves of others who came before us.

We could not know them, but they shaped our lives. They helped us to become who we are.

All they discovered, all they learned about life, can inspire us today.   Their lives can spark a new generation's imagination.

Thoughts to remember ...

Every day, antique shops sell fragments of forgotten lives ... photos, letters, albums.  

People saved treasured items, to share their memories and inspire coming generations.

We see their faces and we wonder about them.   In their photographs, their eyes meet ours.

A family's heritage is like a chain.   Each new generation is a link.  Every link must be kept strong.   If a link breaks, the chain falls away.  

We must not let that happen.

The joy that comes into a family when they discover their heritage is beyond words.

A family's heritage is . . . caring about people, and sharing what we discover.   It is more than just names, dates, and places.

We honor people, in respect and gratitude for their lives.

Perhaps they hoped we might care someday.

We do care.
