Article: Introduction to My Forebears
'Family History' represents many lifetimes, be it within a generation or with added generations. My efforts to construct the 'family tree' are in the infant stage and I plan to use this web page as a gathering point for the collecting and disbursal of various aspects of our history from the present generation back to my great grandparents, Eliza Bailey Taylor and Edwin Temple Bellis, and Charles (Biorth) Byorth and Marie Charlotte Ericson.My Grandparents & Great Grandparents
This Family History Page presents the four progenitors and the remote links to open the specific progenitor page to view. Information pertinent to a particular branch's pedigree and the branch's history may be added through use of the message box at the bottom of the first column.

May She rest in peace

Hymn: Go, Silent Friend
Go, silent friend, our life has found its ending;
To dust returns your weary mortal frame.
God, who before birth called you into being,
Now calls you hence, his accent still the same.
Go, silent friend, your life in Christ is buried;
For you he loved and died and rose again.
Close by his side your promised place is waiting
Where, fully known, you shall with God remain.
Go, silent friend, forgive us if we grieved you;
Safe now in heaven, kindly say our name.
Your life has touched us, that is why we mourn you;
Our lives without you cannot be the same.
Go, silent friend, we do not grudge your glory;
Sing, sing for joy deep praises to your Lord.
You, who believed that Christ would come back for you,
Now celebrate that Jesus keeps his word.

“Why did my Father give you power over me? Because he wanted me to get very close to you to show you the depths of his love for you; not the distant love of a God who sits on a throne in his heaven and looks down on you on the earth, but the love of a Father who longs to help you to carry your burdens, to comfort and heal you, to give you every good gift. He wants to come into your homes, and to sit with you at your meals as one of the family. He wants to walk with you as a beloved friend. He could not do that himself and so he sent me, his only Son, to make his love known to you. I could take on your weakness and then act out my Father's name which is Love. Can you truly imagine the love of God? Can you understand the depth of your Father's love for you? The Father sent me to show you his love, and to act it out among you to give you an example to copy. I am the image of your unseen Father; in my life, and particularly in my passion, I showed you the depths to which love must be prepared to go. There is no room for fear in love, no room for shame, no excuses, no holidays. Love offers everything and expects no return. You cannot bear the unveiled love of God. It falls like a fire upon you and you are consumed and burnt up in its heat. You are not ready yet to be refined and purified by the naked flame of your Father's love for you, and so it has to be filtered, mediated to you through my flesh.”
—RICHARD HOBBS
Richard Hobbs (+ 1993) was a convert to Catholicism and the father of six sons.
"God grant me the serenity
to accept the people I can not change,
the courage to change the one I can,
and the wisdom to know ...it´s me."

Prayer For Peace
To Mary, The Light of Hope
Pope John Paul II
“Immaculate Heart of Mary, help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths toward the future.
From famine and war, deliver us.
From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us.
From sins against human life from its very beginning, deliver us.
From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us.
From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us.
From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us.
From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of Cod, deliver us.
From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us.
From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us.
Accept, 0 Mother of Christ,
this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies.
Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit conquer all sin: individual sin and the "sin of the world," sin in all its manifestations.
Let there be revealed once more in the history of the world the infinite saving power of the redemption:
the power of merciful love.
May it put a stop to evil.
May it transform consciences.
May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope. Amen.”

Muslim, Jewish, Christian Prayer for Peace
“O God, you are the Source of life and peace.
Praised be your name forever.
We know it is you who turn our minds to thoughts of peace.
Hear our grayer in this time of war.
Your power changes hearts.
Muslims, Christians, and Jews remember, and profoundly affirm,
that they are followers of the one God,
children of Abraham, brothers and sisters;
enemies begin to speak to one another;
those who were estranged join hands in friendship;
nations seek the way of peace together.
Strengthen our resolve to give witness to these truths
by the way we live. Give to us:
Understanding that puts an end to strife;
Mercy that quenches hatred, and
Forgiveness that overcomes vengeance.
Empower all people to live in your law of Love. Amen.”

Prayer to Christ the Healer
“In the comfort of your love,
I pour out to you, my Savior,
The memories that haunt me,
The anxieties that perplex me, The fears that stifle me,
The sickness that prevails upon me,
And the frustration of all the pain that weaves about
within me.
Lord, help me to see your peace in my turmoil,
your compassion in my sorrow,
your forgiveness in my weakness,
And, your love in my need.
Touch me, 0 Lord, with your healing power and strength.”
