Everyone that knew her absolutely adored her. I remember spending summers with her and my Opa. Oma always had so much food and I remember a set of old beautiful paper dolls she would let me play with. I was always by my omas side and she always did everything she could to comfort me. I spent time with her while I was pregnant and at night she would get out of bed and come looking for me saying "wheres angie?: that was the last time I got to spend with her and I'm so grateful that I had that time with her. I have always lived her and will miss her forever. My heart is broken. I lost my Oma. less
I have many memories as a teenager with Diana Janse and her remarkable mother we refer to as Oma. She was a big part of my childhood I will never forget her and her smile and great food. Rest in peace, Oma. We love you
