Antje Prey

Once upon a time there was a German girl and she grew into a kind, generous, and noble woman. She worked very hard for many years and loved her family well. She loved them with her devotion, her presence, her food and simple, thoughtful gifts. The Lord was good to share her with us for all these years. She was our mom, our Oma. She was a friend and blessing to many. She was beloved by all.Antje Prey was born on November 15, 1935 in Elmschenhagen, Kiel in Germany to Heinrich and Adele Arp.
