This morning I received the very sad word from my lifelong friend Hillary that her grandma that we call "Oma" passed away on Saturday, November 24, 2007.
I remember this special woman as being one of the strongest and influential women I have ever met in my life. She was powerful and beautifully soft all at the same time.
Oma was everything I strive to be on a daily basis. She demonstrated feminine strength long before most women realized they could. My deepest and most sincere love and condolences goes out to Hillary and her entire family.
Jansje (Oma's given Dutch name) means "A Gift From God." She certainly was and now our God has her back--Thank you Lord for letting us share her with you. She will be missed in our hearts everyday, but never forgotten.
Thank you Oma for being an influence in my life.

I'm sorry for your loss especially right after such a family-centered holiday.
I am so sorry for your loss. She is in a much better place now.
You have my sympathy. It is very difficult to lose a family member, especially one so loved. May God be with you and your family.
Prayers for you and your family...

Hill, sorry for the belated condolences. But, I have not been on this page here recently. So, with that said, I would like to tell you to hang in there and I am so sorry for your loss. She will be missed, but she is always just a conversation away. Just look up above and start talking. She will answer back. I promise. Sonnie
