Umma touched so many people in her 91 years of life. She was a beautiful, classy, strong woman who was fortunate to see her strength and wisdom passed down three generations. May God grant you all her strength and serenity during this time of sorrow. She will truly be missed. Love to you all, Ted and Theresa Christ and Family.
