It was 2 years ago today that Oma died peacefully in her sleep with Helen and me at her bedside. As per Oma's specific instructions, her body was whisked off to KU Medical Center to be used for medical research. Her cremated remains were recently returned to us. Placed in a special box
and without great fanfare ... we buried Oma in the company of her good friends, the Hassetts, whose two sons are buried nearby.
Helen was able to securely "tuck her in" immediately next to Opa.
Congratulations, Helen. You fully and completely honored your mother's wishes.
By the way, I was super impressed with how well Helen handled the shovel. Opa and Oma would be very proud.
