Many years ago I worked with Matilda at Usingers sausage,where she went to work every day and cried her eyes out peeling onions. She was a sweet kind lady I will never forget

I did not know Oma long but she was an awesome lady and a great patient. She tried to get me to cook soup like her but I failed. We made a plan for her soup to be sold at the hockey rink for our next tournament. She was a Delightfull Lady. My God be with your family.
Rest peacefully Oma. I will think of you in Feb during the hockey tournament and everytime I attempt to make soup.
