“I grew up in Germany and every so often we would go to Switzerland to ski. I later immigrated to the United States and lived in New York.

I earned my living as a seamstress. I had a small business and I remember making my daughter’s wedding dress. I also used to make clothes for my granddaughters.

My faith, family, and coffee are everything. I wish I could still go swimming (I used to swim every single day).

This collage brings tears of joy to my eyes as it depicts great memories.”
