Thinking about my wonderful aunt especially this year since her younger sister, my beloved mom, also passed away in 2020. I'm so grateful to have had both of these amazing ladies in my life.

I think about my Mom all the time. Talk about luck! Over 59 years of a most incredible person as your very own Mom. She was special in many ways; a giver, a great cook, a comforter, a listener, a giggler, happy and content.
I loved her dearly and Thanksgiving will not be the same without her. My thanks is that Mom was MY Mom. A beautiful person!

When I think about how mom giggled, it will always bring a smile to my face. She had such a huge love of life and family. I am blessed to have met her son, Chris, and had her in my life. My children are blessed to have had such a remarkable "Grandma". We all miss her very much. Trish Netter

I miss my amazing grandma every single day. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her sweet voice and her giggle and how good she was to her family, how much love she had for each and every one of us. we all had something special with her and I will always remember growing up with such a profound, genuine and loving woman. I would not be who I am today without her and I thank God every day for being able to call her Grandma. Happy 95th birthday Grandma, I hope you know how loved and missed you are every day. <3

Today is the 95th birthday of our dear, beloved mother, Andrea Maria Netter. She was born on a cold, windy Friday, the 21st of November 1919, in the tiny Swiss village of Flums, in the Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland, the first of three children of Heinrich and Maria Knobel. She was a warm, loving, kind and big-hearted person, generous to a fault, always caring for those around her, never forgetting a birthday or other special day or event. I know that we, my dear sister Carol and brother Chris, her grandchildren and close family and friends and all who knew her miss her profoundly, and will think of her with great warmth and love. May her memory remain in our hearts always and forever.

I am grateful that Maria was my aunt--my only true aunt, actually, but I couldn't have asked for a better one. I adored her. We shared some wonderful moments over the years, both during her visits to California and my visits to the East Coast, as well as when we spent time together in Switzerland and Italy--times often filled with laughter, reminiscing about our Swiss relatives and reliving stories from the past, but also enjoying the company of our families and the discovery of new places, people, and experiences. From these happier times, I hold many memories that will always be kept close to my heart.

I always looked up to my dear sister, not only because she was a lot taller than me. Luckily I was smart enough to listen to her and thereby learn about many things, as well as taking her intelligent advice on several important occasions, which shaped my life in a positive way. I hope she left us knowing how much she was admired and loved by all...family, friends, her niece Claudine, and her 83-year old "kid" sister, Rose.

How well I remember "Maria" and our talks about all of her family. She spoke lovingly of her heritage too. She will be missed here in Leisure World.

My mother was a beautiful lady with a good heart. She lived a long life, and she will live on in our memories. I will miss her sense of humor and funny little things that made her so endearing...and I will remember her as she was prior to her decline in health. Be at peace, mom. You taught me so much, and I love you always. Your daughter, Carol
