Dear Oncken Family,
Our hearts were saddened to hear that Aunt Waldine had passed. We have a lot of great memories of our family gatherings. And, our trips to Houston were always great, knowing that Aunt Waldine would be the epitome of "Southern" hospitality. She made everyone that entered her home feel special. We pray for you strength, and the time to heal.
Our sincere sympathy and love,
Dina, Mark, Sterling & Family, and Markie& Justin,
Ava, Steve, and Olivia

Gene & Family,
We were so saddened to hear of the loss of Waldine. I have many Christmas memories of her at Grandma's in Columbus. She always made sure that we were all taken care of. She was great at sending Christmas cards and letting us know how everyone was doing. God has gained another Angel. God Bless You and your family at this difficult time.
