Persuaded to love beyond family borders

Today's show is dedicated to my parents, Herman and Julia De Veaux.  Both taught me and my four siblings much about selflessness and love.  Because Dad is no longer with us, Mom will be the focal point.

For years, I watched this selfless woman, who I happen to call Mom, model a relentless commitment and dedication to helping others, especially women and their children. In fact, I credit her for instilling the same commitment that has spurred my bent towards advocacy and, in turn, my daughter's.

One dimension of living well is reaching out to help others with a personal investment of time and funds. Julia has always done her best to ensure that her limited time and funds were used in the best way possible to assist those she could.  

Over the years, she has seen the value in contributing funds not only to her church but community organizations. Join us as we discuss the importance of Gospel Missions and other ministry groups, located in our various communities.  With all of our support, they have the ability to reach large masses of people, making a difference to the whole person.  

Note:  The purple rose is in recognition of Mom's favorite color and our journey through AD.  Many thanks to all of the individuals and organizations that help to make it a little easier for those traveling this path to live well.
