This is me with Oma at her 85th birthday party back in February. I miss her vibrancy, her warmth, her vigor for life already. She was a true matriarch and I loved her dearly.
Oh man, Ward. I'm sorry. I know how much you loved Oma and how much she meant to the family. My prayers are with you and the rest of your family. How blessed you are that Oma got to loved on your little ones!
Ward, Im so sorry. She was really such a grand lady, and I enjoyed the few times I visited with her. Always including us in-laws in the mix. I know she will be missed.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and the whole family.
This past weekend, our family matriarch, Big Salley, got to finally meet her great grandson. Losing someone who is such a strong force in your life... It just sucks. What else can you say??
Thank you all for your very nice comments. Oma was quite a character and lived life to the hilt. I loved that about her. The funeral was yesterday (Monday) and to get back to work today is a hard switching of gears, but I'll manage. Life goes on.
And yes, Mad Ethel -- Oma thought Ezra was a hoot. He does have some of her zest for life in his chromosones, that's for sure.
A bit late on this, but so sorry to hear about your loss, Ward. You and your family are in my thoughts. Her exuberance and zest for life really come through in the photos that you posted on flickr; she seems like the type of person who could light up any room. I'm sure she'll be plenty missed by all who knew her.
Oh man, Ward.

I'm deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your Oma.
ReplyDeleteI just read about Ronnie del Carmen's father's passing away and now your Oma...wow.
Hope you keep smiling knowing that she's quite possibly looking at you now. I'm sure she was very proud of all that you've accomplished.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
