The Story of Our Lives

About the Book

We took the road less traveled, and “it made all the difference.” There were a few bumps in the road; however, we have always thought positively and had our faith. All had gone well. This book was written for my own purpose, for the grandchildren, and for the encouragement of my daughters. “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses” (Abraham Lincoln, who shares a birthday with Jerry on February 12).
