Ziggy, So sorry about your mother.  Since moving away from oakley I have lost touch with what has been happening in the neighborhood.  Thoughts and prayer to you and your family - Jane Kehoe


My Omi, she was the center of our family, every time she would be over it would be nothing but smiles and laughter.. when I would come in to see her she would hug me and rub her hand against my hair and tell me “you could be a model, you’re so beautiful”  I will cherish the memories I have with her, and continue to remind my daughter how amazing her great great grandmother was.  We will always have her with us with the amazing blankets she made for myself and my daughter.. we love you Omi.. and will miss you more than you know! 


The word Omi means grandmother, but to me it will always mean love.
Omi was gentle when she combed my hair
Omi was generous with her meat noodles and marzipan
Omi was ambitious walking to Lutz everyday to do what she did best,
to great and make everyone feel like they were family

Omi's laugh was gentle, sweet and infectious
Omi's hugs were warm and full of love
Omi was the glue that held the family together,
bringing different cultures and ideas around the dining room table...

Omi created memories for me that will live in my heart forever
Uncle Helmut and his stories of vacations he took his family on, ever the adventurer,
Aunt Sylvia and her "light as air" meringue cookies, and the flowers that grew each year in her back garden,
Aunt Helga and her dog Grit, and her gift of my purple sweater and pink shirt that became my first day of school outfit,
Uncle Tom and his hilarious laughter, a laugh that made you crack up just because, and of course his fish tank too,
Aunt Gertie, who's home smelled of eucalyptus and was filled with bright sunshine, always inspiring in me a sense of good style, 
Uncle Ziggy and his rambunctious dog Camille. His willingness to take on the day to day care, so much sacrifice and,
Cam, a caregiver that gave Omi her best...

The word Omi means grandmother,
but to me it will always mean family
meals around the dining table,
long Christmas Eve nights, anxiously awaiting the adults to finish their coffee before we could open presents
Easter Egg cracking tournaments
Taunting us grandkids to eat the eyes of the fish at holiday meals
Cakes from Lutz, made with love and lots of sugar
Stories of Austria, cousins coming to visit
The translator to my parents as I visited overseas

Omi will always mean Love to me
