Mrs. Oswald was a super supportive, kind, wonderful person. She shared her joy for life with her children and supported them and their friends in so many ways. She is truly someone who always had a smile and kind word for everyone. My heart and love to her family, thank you for sharing your wonderful Mom/wife grandma with so many people.
