This year has shared with us:

The sadness of heartbreak and the joys of love
The frustrations of failure and the perseverance that grows from its ashes
The challenges of sacrifice and the rewards of determination
The weak strands of aquaintance and the strong bonds of friendship
Through it all we have had our love for each other, our unbridled determination to make a difference within ourselves, each other and the world around us; crying, holding hands, hugging, smiling and laughing together; A powerful, caring family is critical to the success of any individual. We would like to take this moment to share our deepest gratitude for taking time to become part of our family. May this season be filled with joy, the new year with hope and your heart be filled with the love we share. Happy Holidays from our family to yours...
