My sons, Joshua, Jordan and Jesse, produced eight offspring between them. This page is in honor of them:
I’m starting with the youngest:
Joy
Joy was born October 17. 2017 to my son Jordan and his soul-mate, Nikki. She’s a sort of anomaly. Her father and Jesse are twins. The pattern that was emerging was that Jesse was having girls, and since Jordan already had two boys we thought his third child would also be a boy, keeping with the pattern. הַשֵּׁם had other things in mind and we were therefore gifted with another girl – Joy. A few years ago Joy was diagnosed with leukemia. That road was a hard one for her, her brothers, and her parents, but she held in there. Today she is cancer free and enjoying life the way a seven year old should.
Joy: May you be like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah.
שתהיי כמו שרה, רבקה, רחל ולאה
Dorothy
Dorothy was born April 26, 2013 to my son Jesse and his soul-mate Lyndsay. She has something in common with my soul-mate, Ceridwen in that they both are enamoured with Highland Cows (‘ighlnd Coos). This year I sent her The Diary of Anne Frank for her birthday.
Dorothy: May you be like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah.

I am very proud of my grandchildren, great granddaughter and my three wonderful sons. They have been a blessing to me in my 71 year sojourn on planet Earth, and I believe they will be a blessing to their future generations as well.
