FAMILY STORIES

I can only say that we should treasure each moment of our lives. I am sitting here

remembering about my childhood. Wow, there are many pleasant memories. Some

are gone; however, they live very deep in my heart.

STORIES or TALES

Some of my stories will help my readers realize that life is too short.

Even though this is a recollection of my life and others in my family, it will help young

adults relate to their own family ties.

As you begin reading, you will notice that I began with the history of my island. It is not

only interesting, but important to know the origin of any individual...
