"My Dad had grown up on a farm during the Great Depression, and the hardships he and his family endured shaped his life - and in turn the lives of his future family. Hard work and perseverance in facing life's hurdles taught us all that you face what life gives you - adapt when needed, change what you can if it needs changing, and trust in your faith to make your life fuller. Dad passed away a few years ago, but his wisdom and love are with me every day."
