Condolences on the passing of your father, and thank you for remembering that your grandmother's story was posted here. Of the the sisters' stories I've posted, hers seems to have been retold again in local meetings more often than any other (or so I've heard, from various readers who have let me know they passed her story along). Mike, I’m very interested — will contact you off list.

My father just passed away this January 30th before we could finish the book, which also contains my Grandmothers story and short history. I plan on finishing the book shortly and can shoot you a copy of the war years in The Netherlands. If you are interested you can let me know and thank you for keeping my family history alive!!!

You can write to me directly, if you'd like, at AEParshall at AOL dot com. It's wonderful to hear from a member of the family, and I hope your family finds my version of your grandmother's story acceptable. I read through a lot of records to piece it together. She is somebody to be proud of. Bryan, I’d be very interested in hearing more about your family’s story. You can write to me directly, if you’d like, at AEParshall at AOL dot com.

I love to her this story and have had it told to me by my father. Geertruida or better known to me as great grandma died when I was very young but I do have vage memories of her and my great grandfather. I loved to visit them and remember how loving they were to us grand children. They had two children. My dad John, and my Aunt Corey. If you are interested, my dad has a very fasinating story of that time in the Netherlands. Thank you for sharing this story.

I only know her from reading some of what Gerold and Norma Davis have written. Then there's also Leon Fargier, who may have been the only Melchizedek priesthood holder in France during the war, who walked and rode everywhere to bless members and perform ordinances. People say every once in a while that they're glad they live today, that they could never have been pioneers. I'm not sure about that. The pioneers did what they had to do. The Saints in wartime do what they have to do. As the church spreads more and more over the earth, with our brethren and sisters living in places that will inevitably come into conflict, I'm glad I'm not a seer with the power to see what lies ahead. I just expect that somehow, many of them (us) will go on doing what needs to be done, doing the best we can for each other. We have a magnificent heritage to live up to and pass on, don't we? Thanks for the kind words, everyone. It's easy to post these -- the work is already done, after all :-) -- what I'd like to hear is that some of you have thought of men and women in your own families or circles who have stories of faith. Do the research or the interviews, write the stories down, and share them. Preserve the memory of someone whose faithful life will inspire a future generation reading the record of our times.
