We Heart Deer Park organizers have come to the decision that their annual back-to-school event will simply not work out this year. This decision was born of out much consideration, as well as discussions between their lead pastors and school Superintendent Travis Hanson. While they are very sad to announce another community event cancellation, they’re excited to report that they still plan on donating at least 100 backpacks to Deer Park families in need. Each backpack contains important school supplies and non-perishable foods. Both of Deer Park’s public elementary schools will receive 50 new backpacks and the school counselors will handle their distribution. We Heart Deer Park encourages anyone who wants to join the work of local churches serving local families to give online at WeHeartDeerPark.com, and know their gifts will be used to help nearby families in need.

One of a kind is what most people stated about Luitgard (Margaret), and that is truly what she was! She was born in Bamberg, Germany, to Johann and Betty Wagner, as the second child. She had an older brother, Hans, and a younger sister, Elfriede.
Luitgard was trained as a seamstress in school and worked making men’s suits, among other things. She met the love of her life, Albert Leroy Griffin, in 1951, and they were married on December 6th, 1952.
