Dear Faith and Family Viewer,

Just a brief background on this video. I was inspired to start a collection of video slideshows for my family when I was lying in the hospital bed after having been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and none of my cardiologists could give me and my family a prognosis.

While I was in the state of surrender at that time, I realized that my children may not fully understand my journals and letters addressed to them until they are much older. In the event our Heavenly Father calls me Home sooner than later, I wanted to leave images of myself with my family, especially images of me with my children.

Our dear Lord was so kind to send me a friend who enjoys photography and another friend who has siblings who could compose and sing beautiful Catholic music. After obtaining their written permission, I began producing a series of slideshows I call "Moments of Grace: A Spiritual Legacy". With images and music, I am able to pass on the richness of the Catholic Faith to my children and to my children's children.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to Anne for sharing her gift of photography and to Gina, Martin and Alicia for sharing your gift of music with all of us !

Through your spiritual legacy, your family will always remember the greatest lesson our Lord taught us in His Ressurection, that is, Love Is Stronger Than Death !

I hope you enjoy this video and are inspired to create your own spiritual legacy for your own families.

God Bless !

Abby
