McKnight to her daughter Mary Ellen
McKnight Hall.

Note from the Author:


Everyone has a story to tell. The beauty
of the story becomes evident during the
telling. When family sits down together
to talk about a life well-lived is when
wisdom, love, and acceptance are passed
from one generation to the next. The
time to ask is now.
