  2. I first knew of Sam and Carolyn when they so very generously volunteered to watch little children and also do all the housework for young mothers at Arden Presbyterian Church. I had never heard of such a generous and wonderful way to support Christian families! They were both much loved by my grandchildren and many other children at our church.
