                       She was a really good licensed practical nurse. She liked to garden and supply the church with flowers, and drink hot tea.  Her favorite bands were polka and waltz, and her favorite music was “Lawrence Welk”, a radio show. To see a movie cost ten cents. Her favorite memory was coming to America. Her worst memories were World Wars I and II and the Great Depression.
