MARIETTA—On the afternoon of May 6, a thunderstorm roared over St. Joseph Church’s parking lot in Marietta. Almost two months later, Menna returned to the parking lot of St. Joseph Church to meet the first responders who saved her life. Despite the inherent danger of being struck by lightning, Menna has made a miraculous, near-perfect recovery. I feel very safe here,” she said as she looked around the parking lot.
