I just can't believe the Year 2004 is here!
The past year has bestowed many, many blessings upon my family,
but we have also had our share of sorrows, too.
We have many memories for only 365 days past.
So many prayers have been answered.
Thank you God for blessing our family!
Every New Year that arrives brings on such a feeling of a New Life,
of New Hopes, of New Dreams.
People feel the need for a new beginning, once a year,
regardless of different religious beliefs or racial traditions.
It may be the oldest day of special meaning, too,
because it stands for a promise of new life.
What New Year's Resolutions will we make this year?
For me, I will strive to keep the Spirit of Christmas in my heart all 365 days of the year,
strive to help those who have not, be a friend to the friendless,
out with the bad... in with the good
but most importantly,
I will continue to pray for worldwide peace in my lifetime.
From OUR family to THE WORLD...
Have a Happy and Safe New Year!!!
And remember, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!
Dream well and remember,
each today we receive will be the past for our children.



Ring out the old
Ring in the new
Ring out the false
Ring in the true
Ring out sorrow, pain and care
Ring in happiness everywhere!
AULD LANG SYNE
by Robert Burns
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o' kindness yet
for auld lang syne.
And here's my hand my trusty frien',
and gie's a hand o' thine;
we'll take a right gude-willi waught
for days of auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o' kindness yet
for auld lang syne.
