During the bombing of Paris her older and twin brother and her mother's twin were killed. Her father and both of his younger brothers were in the French Army and were all killed on the battlefields surrounding Paris. My grandfather's parents lived through the war and because all their sons were dead they tried to have my mother taken away from my grandmother and given to them to raise. Fearing she would lose her child my grandmother married a soldier and naturalized US citizen "by proxy" (which means sight unseen) and came to America in October of 1919. Mom was three years old at the time. My mother and grandmother traveled here on a "troop ship" and were screened in a setting similar to Ellis Island before they could enter this country. By screened, I mean if either of them were sick, both would be returned to France. They traveled across this country by train not knowing anyone nor speaking English. At Concrete Washington they left the train and my grandmother found a Catholic Church and left my mother with the nuns to learn English. When grandma visited my mother she would slap my mother's face if she spoke French because my grandma knew my mother would never be accepted if she was thought of as an "immigrant". And learn English she did. She went to school in Bellingham, Washington. She was a scholar and an athletic. After graduation she went to nursing school, got married and raised five "great" kids.
