In this section I will slowly add the stories I promised Stephanie forever and a day ago I would write. Stories I told the children throughout their childhood of their grandparents and great-grandparents. Stories of my memories from childhood, my dreams and thoughts.

This is to satisfy the curiosity Taylor, Cassie, Katarina, Ally and Baby Joe may have of the people who loved them and those who would have loved them had they lived a little longer.

I will write about me so you will have answers for your children and your grandchildren.

Katarina LaNa your interest and curiosity of my research has thrilled me to no end. I pray it continues to live in you and when I can no longer research or write I leave it to you to continue my work, my love in life. That way my dream will live on in all of you long after I am gone. Something to let you know you should smile:)

We will see what all ends up here. I wish Amanda would give permission for her poems to be entered but she is not ready to share those with the world so I will respect her wishes.

Just For YOU!

My Loves

Stephanie, Stacy, Amanda, Taylor, Cassandra, Katarina, Ally and Baby Joe
