Dear Jerry,
I remember when you first came to School number eleven and your mother inviting us to play pool and have a burger. She gave my father a job when he was down on his luck. She alway was kind and warm. I remember my uncle telling me they built the two way fence so they could get to the bar in a flash! Your mother always extended my family warmth. She was held in high esteem by my mom. All the guest book memories tell what kind of woman she was. Rest in Peace Mrs. Scharf

To the Scharf Family, May your many happy memories of your Mom bring you peace in this sad time. It is a sad time when we lose yet another member of our little S.Crosman family. Your Mom's legacy lives on with her two wonderful sons and their families, and of course in Scharf's Schiller Park Restaurant. Our neighborhood and Buffalo was a better place for Margarete's choice as a place to settle and live. We were blessed to have known her. Rest in Peace dear Margarete.

Rest in Peace Margarete~ You will always be remembered as a loving mother to so many of us-and as our family of neighbors on South Crossman Street, we will always be thankful for the many blessed memories. Somehow I just have to believe you are having a cold one with Lorraine, Dad, Grandma & Gunda. Peace Margarete and thank you for always coming downstairs to greet us-I will always cherish your welcomes of joy and your voice greeting us as "your family and special guests"~ You are the icon of hospitality and I will always remember the stories you shared with me about your heritage. Thank you & God Speed.
