This page is still under construction, but thought I would put in a poem written several years ago by  Andrea herself, about family ties. In fact, that is the name of it!

                                               FAMILY TIES  

                            Many things change in life,

                               each filled with it's own strife.

                           Jobs, friends, life  -  all have changes,

                               all that circumstances rearranges.

                           Family, however, changes never,

                              always be true to them forever.

                           Guard well the ties of your home,

                               for the destroyer for a season doth roam.

                          Build up, strengthen, and together bind,

                              for nowhere else will such ties you find.

                          Show kindness, faith, appreciation, and love,

                              all good things that cometh from God above.

                          Be honest, enduring, tender hearted, and caring,

                              for each others burdens, you should be bearing.

                          Tis true, family love suffereth long,

                              for it is with them where you belong.

                          Always remember love never faileth,

                             storms come, but against it, nothing prevaileth.

                         Family  -  handle with much prayer and care,

                             remember to always try to be fair.

                         Never forget the family ties,

                             For without it tis nothing but lies.
