WHAT IS A FAMILY?
A family is a deeply rooted tree with branches of different strengths, all receiving nourishment from an infinite source.
A family is where character is found and formed, values learned, ethics created and society preserved.
A family is where all members contribute and share, co-operate and work, and accept their responsibilities toward the good of the group.
A family is where holidays are celebrated with feasting, birthdays with gifts, and thoughts of days gone by kept alive with fond remembrances.
A family is where each can find solace and comfort in grief, pleasure and laughter in joy, and kindness and encouragement in daily living.
A family is a haven of rest, a sanctuary of peace and most of all, a harbor of love.
