I have been blessed, with the privilege; of writing this book. To tell the story of each, of my family members; as best I can remember with honesty and dignity, for them. Depicting events in their individual journey. Many tears, laughs, sorrow, memories and struggles have overwhelmed my life; and that of my surviving family. Even though I myself, have walked through the shadow of death. Gods mercy and grace have carried me, and guided my every step; and given me the strength to get up every day with gratefulness and praise for, my Lord. For he is truly the God of the Valley.
