If you were not with us at our My Story, Our Table event in February, I wish you could have been so that you could have heard the heart of our precious speaker, Jamey Ory. I can in no way do it justice but let me share a few snippets. Jamey overcame many obstacles and hurdles and a couple of not so great relationships of her own before finding her current husband.
