A legacy of faith shines from a life whose commitment to Christ has left a light that other eyes can see, a path that other footsteps can follow, and a love that other hearts can embrace. It is a legacy of faithful service to God, of dependency upon his grace, and of commitment to a hope that will never fade away. Author Unknown
