She was a lady who read her Bible every day, and was a praying lady she was loving, kind, and cared for, and helped others she was a charitable, and patriot, and did not know complaint or disgust about anyone or anything. She and the people of her generation are the ones who really built this country agter the Depression and World War II. Mom and this older generation are to be revered and honored for their contributions to this country, and to the lives of others.
Mom Schmidt loved God, and the Lord Jesus, her family, and others she was truly, truly, a Proverbs 31 woman.
