We lost a very special lady last month.
Aaron's grandmother and Aria's great-grandmother
Her first time meeting Aria, September 2012.
She had eleven children, who gave her 42 grandchildren.
And at the time of her passing there were 42 great grandchildren.
Four Generations
March 2013 and December 2015
Aria and her cousins before the funeral.
Just a small batch of the great grandkids.
It was great to see family for the funeral,
but Oma's house still felt so empty without her in it.
What many knew her for was her knitting.
She ran a little shop out of her home, selling yarn and completed projects.
And she would take her projects to many of the farmer's markets in the area.
We were privileged to get several of her creations.
Always knitting on her spot on the couch.
Our last photo of her, December 2015

Goodbye, Oma. We miss you.
