Oma was the best! She was a wonderful grandmother to Alex and Zach (and Austin too!) and they will cherish the memories they have of her. She was the sweetest and kindest person you’d ever want to meet. Hopefully you can find solace in knowing she was well loved. May she rest in peace.

Irmgard was very dear to us, and she will always remain in our hearts. Our hearts are with you all. We wish you peace and hope that your cherished memories are of comfort to you.
Regardless of your age, losing a parent is life altering. We hope that you find solace in knowing that your deep sorrow only reflects that your Mom’s life was profoundly well lived.
She cherished her family and embraced your life and friends, our family being some of those lucky friends. Her loving and supportive ways bring to my mind a quote from Thoreau: “Friends…they cherish each other’s hopes. They are kind to each other’s dreams.” She saw and knew the value in relationships, and gave you that beautiful ability.
Thinking of you all with much love, The Black Family

Irmgard will forever leave a lasting memory in the hearts of my family. From her sweet, tender interactions with my children, and taking time to speak German with Brianna. God blessed us with this beautiful soul, and she will soar with God’s Angels. Rest in Heaven sweet Irmgard.
Love, The Holmes Family
