Helen,
Sounds like you have quite a family. Glad you have that wonderful treasured
memory to hold on to and pray about. God does work in mysterious ways.
That's a good thing when it comes to salvation and his ability to draw us.
Seems as though he's working things out there. That might just happen to be
in response to a prayin' gramma. Smile.
Vicki
