When World War II began my Grandmother was only six years old but even being how young she was at the time she is still able to recount about what it was like to grow up in a war infested Europe and nightly bombings. The first and only question I had to ask my Grandmother was where she was born.

My mother has been a part of the church since it was first started. She has been a part of every committee and taught religious education classes there.
