Oma was a very strong, loving, and deeply wonderful person. She loved entertaining, always insisting that her food was better than any restaurant and had an infectious kindness and passion for giving. Oma was always quick to let you know, often with her wit, her opinion on whatever the topic of conversation was. Not much got past Oma and she stayed sharp for all of the years I had the pleasure to know her..
When I was younger, she would regularly knit socks every Christmas, and when we visited, she had chocolates in the fridge and home-made bread on a cooling rack, ready for the day. Then, we would inevitably watch Jeopardy together, walk the Charlottetown boardwalk, share some Cows ice cream, and play board games. Of course, I never won a single game because Oma was just too good at them. She knew it too; wearing a sly smile every time she made a move that brought her closer to victory.
Oma would always ask lots of questions about life on the other end of the phone. She took a genuine interest and loved hearing about how and what we were up to. Oma’s heart was so big and she brought so much love and respect to all who had the pleasure to know her. Of all of the things in this world that are certain, it is that the Sun shines brighter because she was a part of it.
I miss you, I love you, and I’m so glad I got to know you and to call you Oma.
Love Sean
