Tells Her Story 

 

 

 

Prayer has always played an important part in my life.   One of my earliest memories is of climbing the stairs to the nursery of the Sunday School in one of the largest Christian Science churches in Detroit.  My parents were active members of the church; my dad served as chairman of the board, a teacher in the Sunday School, usher, and my mother serving on many committees.
