Dearest fellow Christian Scientists and Mary Baker Eddy Institute readers,

 

It's been a very long time since you have heard from me and this letter to you dear readers has been written and rewritten over the last year and a half without success until now.

 

For the last two Christmases Helen (my mom) has invited my husband James and me to visit her and Julie Olive and a wonderful time had by all.

 

We all have decided to put the past in the past, live in the present and look forward to the future, enjoying each other and working together fulfilling my mother's legacy in Christian Science. St. Paul wrote in Corinthians 13:13, "And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

 

With much love, Marie Porter (Helen Wright's daughter)
