∼My grandmother was great woman. She grew up on the farm, lost brother in the Battle of Midway, married at 16, had 5 kids, lost her husband at age 47. Worked until she was 70 and died of Alzheimer's at 74. Never finished high school. No college and raised 5 kids that gave her 12 grandchildren. She was a great woman!
