Char Vance - When life seems to be closing in on us, in a world that so often seems upside-down, there is one way to escape and that is through humour and laughter.

When the doctor's told her that she would have to have her leg amputated - she responded " I think I would like to have another opinion -" At the urging of her friend, Char, who at the time was a protestant, decided to visit a Catholic Marian Shrine which her friend suggested. There she experienced both a physical and spiritual healing and later became Catholic.
