I send my sympathy to Elfriede Gudella and the rest of Werner's family as they mourn his loss.
I did not know Werner personally but, as a Hospice Volunteer, I visited Elfrieda and played Scrabble
with her many months before the pandemic ended our visits. May Elfriede and the family be comforted by their memories of Werner before his illness and gradual decline. I shall keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. In Sympathy-- R. Anne Shale
