Mama will always be there watchin over us all, she didn't even have to say a word when she saw you. The twinkle in her eyes with that smile meant you were doing good. That gaze told you when you were in trouble. And when she frowned and started to turn red...

To the rest of the Kobialka family...thank you for introducing us to your Mama (Oma) and sharing her with us.
