During the Easter Season which is upon us, our church seeks contributions to help purchase the abundance of beautiful Lilly flowers that adorn the altar and welcome entry on Easter Sunday. Any individual who makes a donation to this effort is welcome to request a prayer for a "special intention" that the St. Theresa Ministry Team will be sure is prayed for by the parish in the upcoming weeks. Most commonly, prayers are asked in memory of lost loved ones or for the improved health of someone very ill. Although we could certainly make a long list of lost or ill loved ones, Paul and I have chosen to make our special intention be for our long-lost grandparents. We were both blessed to have known all four of our grandparents, which is indeed a rare gift. And perhaps even greater a gift, I was able to get to know Paul's Grandpa and Nana Schwey, and he met my Nana Keefe as well as my Grammy and Grandpa Rinck. We have shared many wonderful memories and stories of time spent growing up with these remarkable individuals who gave us the ultimate gift.....four amazing parents that have shared in the lives of each of our children, making all of our lives richer in only the ways that loving grandparents do through the generations. So today we made our contribution and chose our grandparents to be our "special intention"; Jack and Bertha Keefe, Albert and Alice Rinck, Henry and Sarah Schwey and David and Gussie Cutler, of whom I am sorry to say that we do not have a picture to share.
