Christy and her mother, Bethie, (my sister) lived with our parents most our or lives. At this time of year Christy's grandfather, Warren, would have rehearsing with the church choir for a Christmas service. Christy always got a fancy dress and went with the family to a candle light service on Christmas Eve. I remember the glow on her face, clinging to grandma and so excited as we all lit our candles and sang Christmas carols.
