My mother was like no other. I will forever miss her beautiful face and gorgeous smile. My mother was a woman of many talents--an awesome cook, a phenomenol baker, a crocheter, and a knitter. Her memory will forever live through her delicious recipes and beautiful homemade gifts that she gave to us. My most treasured gift was having a mother ike her, a woman who always put her children first. Her children were her world and it showed throught the love she gave. My Mama will always live forever in my heart. I hope to be half the mother she was!

Mama, I will miss YOU, your smile, your eyes, your kisses/hugs, the love and joy you gave and received when you saw Christian and Annaliese, your spoiling them, your kaffee-klatsches, your roladen dish, your pea soup, your lentil soup, your crumb cake, your plum cake, your Christmas stolen, your tin of delicious Christmas cookies (Mrs. Inouye misses that too!) and all you have done for us. You will live in us forever!
