Its records have been lost.
We only know that she was separated from her younger brothers and her father during a crucial period of childhood, leaving Sammy to wonder how all this suffering had affected his mother.
My mom had a harder life than I thought.
I mean, you know, growing up with my grandma, my grandma must have been... kinda loony.
I mean, she always was.
She was definitely an oddball, you know?
Suffered so much trauma.
Yeah, but my mom, my poor mom, you know, I don't think my mom got loved properly.
Yeah.
That's sad.
I don't think that my grandma knew how to do that.
Yeah.
She was too wounded.
That's a good way to put it.
That's pretty much it.
Thank you for this, Doctor, it's tough.
I'm a softie, man, you're tearing me up.
Get them cameras outta here and I'm gonna roll around the ground for a couple minutes.
