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.
