She was short, soft-spoken; my aunt and my mom’s sister told me that she was quite artistic. My mom developed schizophrenia, you know when my mom and my dad met, I think she was eighteen, and I’m not sure how much that manifested in their early relationship, but I do remember as a child, five- or six-years-old living with my mom, and her having some of the symptoms of schizophrenia.
