since I had seen many of them. In the summer of 1997 I was grateful to be able to attend the Malan and Marriott family reunions in Ogden. So many relatives that I had not seen for years were there. Madeleine and I were each presented an orchid corsage at the Marriott reunion as being the only granddaughters still living of Teresa Southwick and John Marriott. Also, I was surprised and pleased to hear one of the speakers quote from the history that I had written years ago about my grandfather John Marriott. I have included that biography at the end of my life story. My Testimony My music plays an active part in strengthening my testimony. I have felt inspired, appreciated and needed in my music callings. I am grateful to my grandparents, intelligent and dedicated people, who left their homes and thriving businesses overseas for religious freedom in America. They endured personal hardship and persecution as they chose membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I feel that my religion is the truest Church in the world. It is based on present-day revelation that has survived persecution at the hands of lawless rebels and unjust political leaders who have allowed this persecution. It has never been led into corruption nor does it condescend to please the new morality. Its organization was divinely inspired. It has been a great mainstay throughout my life.
