Hi Oma,
It makes me sad that you are no longer with us, but I know you are where you are supposed to be- with your soulmate. I hope you and Opa are happy to be in each other’s arms again and watching over us all. You were the best grandma a girl could ask for - always giving us endless love, laughter and FOOD. No one cooks the way you did, food is just not the same.
You were always there when we needed you, watching me for 10 years. I never needed a babysitter when we had you - always letting me watch TV, do puzzles with Opa, play in the pool, sleep in, eat oatmeal, cereal, ice cream, crumb cake, Entenmann’s donuts and making me the worlds best breakfast. Your GOULASH and weekly hamburgers and meatloaf were to die for! Mom always knew when Opa was watching me though because my clothes and diapers were on backwards LOL!
I will always cherish the memories we all made together. Every single holiday was spent together. You always had the best decorations from the Christmas tree, gnomes outside, candy canes in the front yard, Easter eggs in the backyard, and our yearly tradition of chocolates in the advent calendar. I remember always finding money under the place mats on the dressers ;D Walking into your house will never be the same without you. The glue that held our family together. You lit up the room and everyone loved you. There was never a time that we went out somewhere - grocery store, out east or a street fair where you did not meet someone new (or had an older man hit on you) :D every one adored you and loved your accent. From your gardening, to you sowing skills and your cooking - you were one of a kind daughter, mother, wife and grandmother. You and Opa provided a wonderful life to all your children. Your love story goes unmatched and something I truly hope to find one day. It makes me sad that neither of you will be at my wedding, but I know you will be there in spirit, watching down on me and sending your love.
Some of my favorite memories are when we would go to street fairs together. Trying new beers, shopping and walking around enjoying life together. When I look back at photos, you are always by my side - whether that’s in the pool, Easter egg hunts in the yard, sitting by the fire, pumpkin picking, wineries, backyard BBQs, or dancing to Christmas music or the funny stuffed animals - you were always the life of the party and there for every mile stone in our lives. Another memory I always think back to is the cruise we went on. We had unlimited food and yet every time we went out to eat, you managed to stuff some leftovers in your purse “just in case.” Never new when that ketchup bottle would come in handy :D
Life will not be the same without you. Every time I see a penny I think it's Opa and recently I have been seeing lady bugs, thinking that’s a sign from you. Keep showing up in my dreams, I might wake up crying, but it really is nice to see you. I miss you guys every day.
We will always remember you and the memories made together, forever in our hearts. I love you Oma, until we see each other again <3 xoxo Kymberly
