her husband was in the hospital and she was cashing in some annuities with the bank. I can understand her when she talks slow but she gets her Korean up and its all hell to pay. It took them a couple of days to process the claims and when she understood she calmed down. My neighbor brought her home from the war and she used the money to make a room and bathroom for him on the main floor. She has a heart of gold, just never learned a lot of workable English.
