Joe and Lizzie were known for their hospitality. When they had a dinner they invited at least 30 people. This was a sit-down meal. There was a first sitting and a second and a third. These were usually held in the summertime when some of the people could be outside. Two daughters were born to them: Esther Vávra Bys and Ruth Vávra Lintner Reinert. She played the piano in church. When you came for a visit, first we took a walk in the garden to see what Aunt Lizzie could send home with you—a head of cabbage, maybe some sweet corn, strawberries or raspberries, potatoes, and always a bouquet of flowers. We checked to get apples for pie and then she had Uncle Joe catch a chicken. She was well known and loved by her neighbors and family. Her father was Frantisek Lorenc (Pronounced Lawrence) #73475665. Her mother was Anna Svacha Lorence #73475681.
