Hello Family Members:

As  each family group share common heretary genes, it is a wise thing to make you aware of some health issues some of our family members may be experiencing that may help you prevent similar issues by spotting symptons early.  If you have a link or comment you like to share, please share it.  Just send your link or comment to me by e-mail.  Right now you are not able to place links on the guestbook, but hopeully in the future you may be able to place a link yourself on this page.  The first link here has been submitted by one of our family member.  Thanks!
