In reply to Erin Nettifee.

Mom directed choirs, played the organ, and worked with kindergartens and preschools. She spoke Korean fluently (she said she spoke like people's grandmothers - with whom she grew up!) She also home schooled her two older children and raised all four of us, which was quite a handful, especially since our house was where all the kids seemed to collect. Last time she was in Korea she was asked to stay by the church which promised to support her entirely because Korea was her home. (Which it was.) She said she wanted to remain in the US because that's where her grandchildren were.
