She grew up in Germany and saw many things. She served a mission, took tithing money across the borders, married, had children, moved to the United States and THEN got her nursing degree. She was brave. Stalwart. Courageous.
She lived in a time of such tumult and unknown and yet she left a legacy for all of those that came after her. I used to love visiting and listening to her speak in her heavily thick German accent. She made the best food and it was fun to be at her home.
I remember her driving me to Savers one day, during a summer visit, and buying me a shirt. Small little things like that showed who she was.
