Here is my prayer for your life:

Our kind and loving Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jessica into our family to brighten our way. What a blessing she is! I pray that you will watch over her and guide her in the way she should go. May she keep you first in her life, using the unique talents you gave her to win others to Jesus and to encourage many along the way. I pray that she will find happiness in serving the Lord and that the lives of many will be changed because Jessica has passed their way. In Jesus' name, amen.

I thought I'd post their memories here.

Every family historian inevitably hits a brick wall at some point in their research. Often early. The paper trail eventually runs out one way or another. We know the line has to end somewhere, but we're still pretty pissed when it does. Like they couldn't take the time to paint their lineage on the cave they were living in?? C'mon, cave people. Actually, I'm pretty happy (or mostly happy) if I can get one ancestor across the ocean. But early brick walls just suck.
