I am a devout Christian, and try to live my life pleasing to the Lord. I am 83 years old, and have had a wonderful life as a minister’s wife for over 50 years. I played the piano and organ in church for him all those years. My husband passed away from Alzheimer’s over 2 years ago. I have five children, four daughters, and one son, and two of my daughters are twins. I also have four grandchildren, and one great grandchild. In addition to being a mother, another career I enjoyed tremendously was that of an elementary school teacher. I love music and cannot imagine my life without it. I love to sing, and I play the piano, organ, guitar, and xylophone. My son-in-law gave me a violin that I want to learn to play. Also my youngest daughter gave a ukulele which I will attempt to learn. I have been writing poetry and songs for many years and have hundreds of them. Many of them have a religious theme, as God is so important in my life
