Today, May 16, 2023, is the 50th anniversary of Amy's mom's death. Her mom died when Amy was 5. Her dad died 6 years later when Amy was 11. That left Amy and her 2 older brothers. Amy shares how her brother is the hero of her story.

Amy's Take-Away: I'd like to say thank you to the women who stepped into my life and cared for me: Mrs. Polignone, Mrs. Austin, Mrs. Crago, Mrs. Cadle, Mrs. Resig, Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Zinn, my sister-in-law and her mother.

Without these women guiding me and caring for me, I don't know what would have happened. I really appreciate and love them. 50 years is a long time and I miss my mom.
