I cannot express how much I will miss Aunt Helga's no-nonsense, matter of fact sense of humor. Whenever we spoke on the phone, she bestowed valuable pearls of wisdom I sorely needed. Aunt Helga, along with her sister Ruth (my mother) were living reminders that you can be strong and survive no matter how tough life is.
Godspeed Auntie!
I'm so sorry to hear about Oma. She was a force to be reckoned with. She was your stereotypical East German female that didn't take no crap from anyone but also had a heart of gold.
I remember those many nights studying German with you and her and her making dinner and looking forward to her signature apple dumplings.
Another wise person who did her part in trying to impart her knowledge on us young whipper snappers but didn't realize the importance until we got older and learned ourselves that she knew what she was talking about.
Now she gets to sew fabulous garments with Papou again and hang out with your dad.
We'll miss her here.
May her memory be eternal.
I will always remember the stories she told me of growing up in East Germany during the war, and how I should be very proud of my heritage.
Aris, remember the many happy memories of Oma. I have several that have brought a smile to my face. She didn't know my proper name for years, always calling me Rocky. Oma was a kind and loving woman.
