"Vernon was twenty-one, handsome, kind, fun-loving and Christian, and he was stealing my heart." Thus began a love story that would evolve over the next twenty-three years through the blessing of five children and the sadness of living with a tragic, hereditary disease. That disease would continue to impact our family for more than fifty years. This story is a personal one. It is a story of deep sorrow mingled with the joy that comes from family, love, commitment, and faith.
