~ Margarete 'Oma Gretel' Saule nee Kaiser ~

Augsburg, Germany

Be it remembered, forty~one years ago today, my Oma Gretel passed away. I remember her well and I remember where I was on May 28th, 1972. Oma was so sweet and so tiny.
~ Rest in Peace dear Oma ~

I love this photo with the clothes on the line! Your Oma has worked hard and is now resting, and deservedly so! The photo reminds me of the one I have, my great grandmother giving me a bath as a baby...back in the day....

Thank you Catherine, she was a very gentle loving person. Wish I had gotten to know her even more.

Your comment came over twice so I did remove the extra. Thank you for stopping by.

Cheryl, it is the cutest photo of her . . . she is resting in peace. She lived thru wars, hard times and lots of love with family. She was a great Oma. That's a treasure to have a photo of your great grandmother giving you a bath! I do cherish these photos that I was blessed to be the keeper of . . . I am hoping to tell their stories or as many as I can in my lifetime!
