Alberta died from a heart attack and diabetes and most of her children had diabetes
Alberta had a hard life they lived in box cars, had to carry water.They had an outhouse toilet. She had a yard full of chicken and we would come to visit she would have to go out in the yard & catch her a chicken bring it in take the feathers off & fry it for us. I also remember when she did the wash, she stacked a table full of Jeans for the boys & they would go pull their jeans from the pile.
Her last baby was stillborn, and I got all the clothes my mother made for this baby that was born in 1954, my baby was born Jan. 12, 1955.
My sister was such a caring loving person loved by many.
