Alma was treated with pneumonia, she gotten over it still having a cold. Then she got over the condition of having measles. When her mother baked a cake and frosted it, she asked to lick the spoon. No one knew she was having diabetes. She was in diabetic coma for four days until doctors couldn't figure anything. Her body was carried back to the house and bathed in alchol to keep her body from turning. She was buried in a yellow rose dress.
