This is the book Arlene Pavasars wrote in the last year before she left this earth. She wanted to leave this story as a legacy to her children and grandchildren, as well as all those who had the pleasure to meet her and/or my dad, her beloved husband. She asked her daughter, Mirdza Hayden, to finish it and publish it if she had not yet published it before the Lord took her to heaven; Mirdza fulfilled her wishes by the December of that year.
