MARCH 2013 MIRACLE ON NORTH 5TH ST.

FACT, NOT FICTION
   STORY OF OUR
BLESSED MOTHER
       STATUE.

OVER THE YEARS, MY WIFE
ANN HAS BEEN AWARE OF
MY AFFINITY TO THE
BLESSED MOTHER AND MY
SAYING THE "HAIL MARY"
PRAYER. SEVERAL YEARS
AGO SHE GAVE ME A GIFT
AT CHRISTMAS, THE STATUE
OF THE BLESSED MOTHER.
IT WAS FINALLY PLACED IN
FRONT OF OUR PORCH AT
THE HEAD OF THE WALKWAY.
THEN ONE DAY WE WERE FACED
WITH THE FOLLOWING SCENE.

THE STATUE DISAPPEARED
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE WERE
QUITE DISHEARTENED AT THE
LOSS.  ANN REPORTED IT TO
THE COPLAY POLICE DEPT.
WE HAVE LIVED WITH THE
VOID CREATED BY THE LOSS
OF THE STATUE, CONTINUED
PRAYING TO THE BLESSED
MOTHER, FEELING DEEPLY
THAT WE WOULD NEVER SEE
THE STATUE AGAIN. THEN, ON
THE MORNING OF TUESDAY
MARCH 5TH OR WEDNESDAY
MARCH 6TH, ANN WENT OUT
AT 8:13am TO RETRIEVE THE
NEWSPAPER AND SOMETHING
CAUGHT HER EYE ON THE FIRST
STEP FROM THE WALKWAY.

THE STATUE WAS STANDING THERE.


HOW DO WE KNOW IT WAS
THE SAMEONE THAT WAS
MISSING?  PLEASE NOTE
THE CROWN ON THE BLESSED
MOTHER. WHEN THE STATUE
WAS FIRST PUT IN PLACE, OUR GRANDDAUGHTER, GINA
FARQUHAR ASKED GRAMMY
IF SHE COULD PLACE A CROWN,
THAT SHE HAD MADE, ON THE
STATUE. I'M SURE YOU KNOW
WHAT ANN'S ANSWER WAS.
THAT CROWN WAS ON THE
RETURNED STATUE.  LATER
THAT DAY, ANN CALLED THE
COPLAY POLICE DEPT. TO
INFORM THEM OF THE STATUE
RE-APPEARING. SHE WAS TOLD
BY THE EMPLOYEE, AFTER
CHECKING THE FILES, THAT
ANN HAD REPORTED IT MISSING
IN MAY 2010.



MAYBE MIRACLE MAY SEEM TO BE 
A BIT STRONG IN SHARING WHAT HAS 
TRANSPIRED, BUT NOT TO US. OUR
PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED
AND WE ARE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL
FOR THE RETURN OF THE BLESSED
MOTHER STATUE. IT HAS BEEN PLACED
AT ITS' ORIGINAL SITE FOR ALL TO SEE
AND SHARE WITH US.  SAY A PRAYER -
MAYBE IT WILL BE ANSWERED ALSO.

GOD BLESS,
FRANK AND ANN DICKMAN.
