    Oma made a huge impact on me from a young age. Her life story was amazing. What she went through and overcame was heroic. She worked so hard in her life and was very devoted to her family. She will be missed.
    Praying for the family in your time of need.

    God bless, Scott and Jackie Kirsch and family.
