Dear Rudy, Walter, Linda & Irmy (including your families),
My thoughts are with you, as you mourn the passing on of both of your parents within days. Reading both of their so well written obituaries, brought back so many fond memories… We were neighbours ever since your parents build their house on 4th St. You described both of their characters so well and artistically, carving through painful childhood experiences and bringing forth the colourfulness and the resilience of their persevering characters. Thankyou! I still remember my last visit with them, enjoying your Mom’s baking and your father’s thoughtfully formulated questions. We had a wonderful time together. Yes, they belong to the circle of personalities, who have influenced my life in so many ways. I am so thankful, for the times we shared in your home and in the church. What great examples of steadfast faithfulness! Thanks to you, their children, who could accompany them through the trying times of these last weeks, months and years. I wish you all God’s strength, as you grieve your loss; however, thankful, that they could now pass from this life into the next – now seeing, what they had always believed.
Perhaps you can forgive me, for adding a German poem. But it is one, that has accompanied me for quite some time already and has been a comfort to me ever so often.
Our thoughts are with you,
be blessed,
Peter & Ruthild
Eine Hand hat losgelassen...
Sie hat die Arbeit aus der Hand gegeben,
die Freude und die Mühsal,
das Glück und das Leid.
Sie hat andere Hände losgelassen,
Hände, die gaben,
und Hände, die baten.
Der Weg des Hand-in-Hand-Gehens
ist zu Ende.
Auch das Hand-in-Hand-Arbeiten
hat sein Ende gefunden.
Eine Hand hat alles losgelassen.
Nun müssen auch unsere Hände loslassen.
Was möglich war, ist gewesen.
Was lebbar war, ist vollendet.

Our deepest condolences to all of the family! Helga was more like an aunt than a cousin as her children were my age. She was always so caring and genuine whenever we met her and sincerely interested in what we were doing and what was happening in our family. She leaves behind a wonderful legacy- her beloved family. Praying God’s peace and comfort will surround you during this difficult time of losing both your parents within a few days. Keeping you close in thought & prayer.
