I miss my Oma so much! She was such a beautiful woman, and she baked the BEST plum cake and Rolladen EVER! We bonded over good dark German beer. Her granddaughter's second middle name is the same as her second middle name. I gave my child the name Hildegarde in Oma Erika's honor. Grandpa Ron loved and cared for her for decades and we all love him very much! I'm happy we have him and I know he lost a piece of himself when Oma passed away.
