I salute my sister Amy who is fighting the good fight with courage,and humor.She is my true heroine. Liz D.(10/10)

In honor of my sister, Angela A (1962-2002). Arnie, it will be six years since you left us on October 18th. And although the tears still are fresh, I finally figured out how to go on and live out your legacy—your strong faith and constant prayer to the end even baffled the nurses. I understand it’s not about me and my loss of you, but what I can do to help others have that same strong faith in Christ, no matter what they are going through. You were and always will be the “Wind Beneath My Wings”. Forever Love, your Big Sis. Candy P. (10/10)  Back to Top)

I wish to honor and celebrate the strength and beauty of my Aunt Elizabeth who had a mastectomy years ago.  It did nothing to take away her beauty as a woman.  She was beautiful inside and out.  She beat breast cancer; but unfortunately pancreatic cancer took her precious life.  Her memory and love continue to live in my heart.  She had real, God-given beauty, wisdom, grace, and love.  I would much rather be like her than any of the ‘plastic/artificial’ women our society idolizes today.  She was a true heroine and role model.  Young girls/women today need more role models like her.  I count her as one of the greatest blessings God has ever given me.  Thank you, Aunt Elizabeth, we still love and miss you. Patty C (10/21)  (Back to Top)
