After all of us kids were grown and moved away, Mom and Daddy moved back to where they grew up. It was home.

She came to live with me in Albany. She really enjoyed that, she got to see some of the grandchildren.

She loved having a large family. She has 56 grandchildren, 84 great-grandchildren, and 28 great-great grandchildren. After she moved in with me, she got to see them all of the time.

She was an excellent cook.

It was hard work. We only went to school when it rained. If it wasn't raining, we were in the fields.

They just thought they would make a good match.
