Under the Oak Trees

"Sitting here beneath this old massive oak tree, overlooking a sunlit pond, with a myriad of leaves falling around me, I feel at peace." (From the author) Under the Oak Trees reveals the author's love of God witnessed in the simplicity and beauty of nature. First on her uncle's farm and later at her own home, she found under the oak trees her special place to write. Her poetry and other writings pay tribute to the simple pleasures of life. Also included in the book are numerous eulogies written for family members and friends. The author believes that a person passing from this life should be remembered for their special and unique qualities. In compiling this collection, the author hopes to inspire others to become more aware of God's love for us through the beauty of nature and the simple things of life. For his loving support, the author includes a tribute to her husband, Rick, who passed in June 2019. Photos and letters reveal the love of a wife, family, and community for a remarkable man, a man with a servant's heart.
