In talking to the family about things they remembered about Mom (Oma), one memory in particular was the wonderful Faspa’s she prepared for guests and family. She loved to set up her best china and took pride in serving up all our homemade favorites. Another one of her passions was her love for flowers and gardening. We remember her interest in regular visits to the Assiniboine Park Conservatory and her special trip to see the tulips in Pennsylvania.
