On September 21, 2010, Ragnar's sweet Oma Beck passed away. She lived 97 good long years. She was a very strong woman, with a lot of courage. She survived two world wars in Germany and so many hardships, but remained strong through it all. We are grateful for her example and that she is now in a peaceful place. Ragnar and I were grateful to be able to be there for the funeral on October 1, 2010. It was in Salt Lake City, where she resided the later years of her life. We got to see family and friends. All the cousins except one were able to be there and it was fun to catch up and celebrate Oma's life.
Here she was holding Cavin 2 years ago.
While I don't have any pictures as our camera was acting funny, there are many that were taken of the funeral and all the cousins.
I did get to take a minute to visit my sister Marisa and her husband Ethan and I got to meet my new nephew Liam. It was nice to say hello to her and a couple family and friends and to be there for a few days. I am so grateful that my parents were able to take the kids for the weekend. Thanks again, and until we see you again Oma, thanks for the life you graciously lived.
