Grandma's Story

by Connie Werba
(Holy Cross, Alaska)

I live in a village in Alaska. I serve as a Eucharistic Minister. My good friend, Marie, was dying from cancer. I would take the Holy Eucharistic to her daily. My grandson, 3 yrs. old, was with me this one day. We went to the church and I explained which statue was who. His mouth and eyes were wide open as he looked up at the tall statues. I told him to ask Jesus to bless his Dad & Mom. He did in his own way. "Ok,now we're going to bring Jesus to Marie" He looked at me and said,"No Gramma there's no room on the no-machine (snow machine)"
