I only had the opportunity to meet Frank, Heide and Amanda. However, I know that Oma was a wonderful person from the stories they have told me. I perceive her to be a very strong woman who loved her family with all her heart and soul as it came out in all that she did. I have been told that sometimes the road is rough, she always was the diamond.
Our deepest sympathies,
Dave and Brianne Stead

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Oma and Opa. In those few short hours, Oma gave me more than my own Grandmother ever did. As I sat and spoke with them and listened to their stories and their past experiences in life, I realized how lucky Amanda was to have such an incredible person in her life. She was an AMAZING cook who was willing to share with me her most prized recipe, cheesecake. Although, she did not have a chance to make it for me, I felt honored that she wanted to. May her love live on in your hearts for all eternity.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family,
Rob and Denise Brown

You are in my prayers. Her memory will live on through your family. She was a very special lady and will be missed greatly

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep you in my prayers if you or your family need anything just let me know.
Love
Hannah

My heart was broken when you called me that morning and told me that Luzie had passed away. We loved her so much - she was not only a good neighbor but also a good friend. I loved standing at the fence and talking to her. She had a way of cheering you up when you were down. David and Jonathan thought of her as another OMA to them. After David moved to Colorado whenever he would call he always asked how are the Andersons doing and tell them hello.

Take peace in knowing that she is not suffering anymore. She used to tell me that she was just tired of being sick and felt like she was being a burden to everyone and didn't like to ask for help. She is now with Charlie and Jonathan and I know that they will all be looking down on all of you.

You are like family to me. If any of you ever need anything please know that I am always there for you as you have always been there for me when Charlie and Jonathan both died.

I love you all and will keep you in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Our prayer and thoughts are with you.

Love, Heidi And Leif

Andy, Amanda, Frank & Heidi,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Living next door has brought so many good memories between our families, many that will always be in my heart. I will always miss the times that Luzie would call me to the fence to give me cheesecake or something yummy that she made. We will miss Luzie very much and are very thankful for the time we were able to share with her.

Anita, Aaron & Mather Le Mire

Heide, Frank, Amanda and Andy.
You are my family in my heart. I had wonderful visits and talks with Luzie for the last 18 years. My last visit two weeks ago was talking only about Amanda. She loves her so much. I cherish the picture that she gave me to hang in my office. She had a great sense of humor. I told her I had hung the picture, since there was not a hook on the back it was a little crooked. She looked me straight in the eye and said "maybe the wall is crooked". I will miss her. In time you will heal. Her love and memories will always be with us.

Just saying im sorry for your loss, it will be difficult for you for a very ong time. Remember the good times you had with her, and remember you have all the support from us. Love you like a brother.

I've heard a lot about "Oma" from Heide in the past. We are very sorry for your loss. May god be with you.
love Ginny & Jason

I am soo sorry to learn about the passing of Oma. Even though I only knew her for a couple short years, she was an amazing woman. She had one of the biggest hearts in the world. I think I am a better person just for knowing her. My heart goes out to the entire family.

Much love,

Frank, Heide, Amanda, Mr. Anderson,

We are very sorry for your loss. I know that you loved her very much and that she was a constant in your life. Rest assured also that she knew how much you cared for her. I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better. Just know that she is still with you everyday, though not in the way we would like her to be, but she still lives on inside you. Our thoughts are with you.

Mitzy, Johnny, and kids.

We are so sorry to learn of Mrs. Anderson's death.
We will certainly miss the beautiful smile and
wave of her hand as we drove by. She will be
missed by all that knew and loved her.

Everyone knows I am the epitome of “A Mama’s boy”. My mother meant everything to me. When my wife and I got the opportunity to move across the street from my mom and dad I jumped at the chance. By then, her only grandchild, my daughter, Amanda, was only 1, so mom (or Oma as she wanted to be known now) was more than pleased. She cherished her granddaughter and wanted to see her grow up.

Oma was an amazing woman. But you don’t have to take my word for it, let me tell you why she was so special. Of course everyone knew she was an amazing cook and it never looked like I missed many meals. But cooking made her happy. Even though lately she had been told many times she needed to slow down and take it easy. She wanted to cook because she knew it made other people happy. I’ll never forget my friend Brad taking his first bite of one of mom’s cheese cakes looking at me and saying, “There’s a party going on in my mouth”. Recently she had complained to me that it took her so much longer to do things. That she got tired very easily. Again I told her to slow down. After all, she wasn’t in her 70’s anymore.

Some people know I was adopted. I never hesitated to tell anyone that I was, that I was picked. What lots of people never knew was that when I was adopted mom was almost fifty years old! How many of us would choose to start raising another son at that age?

Those unfortunate times when mom did end up in the hospital she hated it. Not so much because she was in a hospital but because she believed she was being a burden to everyone. My wife and I told her many times when she needed something or if she was in pain she should press the nurse call button. She would tell us she did not want to bother the nurses. They had a lot to do or they might get mad at her. Rarely would she ever complain about being in pain. We could usually tell by looking at her and even then sometimes she would say she was ok. For such a small lady she was one of the strongest people I ever knew.

When I was a teenager I wasn’t the best kid around. I know many times I made life miserable for mom. I caused her more stress and worry than I should have. I’ve tried all of my adult life to make up for my teenage years. I hope that I was able to. I’d like to believe I contributed to making her life happier, just as she made mine. Thank you mom. I will always love you, with all my heart. I will miss her forever.
