back In the Mission Office
Verna Leola Grant To close out this section on our Mayflower roots, I’ll skip across my Mammy’s very eventful adult life to this scene from its last year, 1967-68. She appears here in the office that Pappy occupied as President of the French Mission at 3, rue de Lota, in the XVIième arrondissement of Paris.

I’m at a loss to convey how impressively she magnified her rôle as mission president’s wife, as indeed she did every calling, assignment, and volunteer opportunity that I ever saw her undertake. One measure might be the outpouring of love and grief on two continents when she died in an automobile accident, one year into their three-year mission. I remember it; I was overwhelmed by it; and I’m unable to communicate it adequately. I’ll try to address it as part of my personal history, of which she remains, of course, a central component.
