A FAMILY REUNION MAIN PAGE
A Family Reunion is a wonderful event. There are just a few challenges that immediately follow on the heels of the flickering desire to want one…
I know, I know!!
Know the desire is more than half the game plan; the wondrous desire to reverence those who have gone before, those who are with us and those who will come after us is simply sublime!
Technology at the speed of thought is an asset but taking baby steps in ordering the data that these assets set in motion will guide you through these pages!
God bless your little heart as He also loves Family Reunions and has planned for each of us the grandest of them all upon entering Eternal Life!
