My maternal great-great grandmother walked barefoot from Nauvoo to the Salt Lake Valley, arriving in 1847. She lived a life of faith and sacrifice and is a great example of handwork and determination. Her obituary says she met and knew the first seven presidents of the church! Hope you have a wonderful Easter!
"Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten". This is my effort to collect and share stories from our family that will help us appreciate the service and sacrifice of our ancestors - and thereby increase our testimony and determination to stay faithful.

Thomas Alexander "Lex" Lewis
A short story about my Grandfather, Lex Lewis. He taught me some things that I am grateful for.....like how to bet on horses and dogs (just kidding). The twists and turns for our lives are not always understood at the time - but having faith and hope helps get us through times of trials. I am grateful for the examples of my ancestors.
