My Darling Mommy,

You have left us to be with Daddy again, from whom you could never bear to be apart. You have been reunited with your precious "Gold". In doing so, you have left me with a broken heart. For you were and are the sweetest angel of a mother. Mommy, you were my best friend ever and your love and kindness knew no bounds. Daddy and you surrounded me like a protective shield. Now that shield is gone and I feel defenseless and alone. You taught me so much and I will be forever grateful. The values you and Daddy instilled in me as a child will always be a part of me. You taught me that the simple enjoyments in life are the best, that happiness with one's family and self are far more precious than riches. Mommy, to know you was to love you. Everyone who met you, took to you immediately. You won everybody's heart with your gentle, quiet demeanor. As Daddy always said, "I knew immediately that Mommy was the one for me, when I saw her quietly sitting across the room, in her red sweater and her pink cheeks."

Although you are gone from me, I know your love will always surround me.

No matter how old I got, I was always "das Kleine" to you, your little one. My wonderful memories of you will never fade.

I know you are finally at peace and happy in heaven with Daddy.

I will forever miss & love you!

Love & Kisses,

Karen

Dear Frieda

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet both you and Walter all those years ago. I shall never forget when I first saw you - you were a smaller version of my own dear mother. I always appreciated your kindness in sending gifts for myself and my two sons - so thoughtful of you. With your passing a link has gone but never your memory. May you and Walter rest in peace together.

All my love

Hazel

Dearest mom,

You were one of a kind, a lady in every sense of the word. You had unconditional love for your children and grandchildren and, of course, your husband Walter and are loved by all of us.

You always found good in everyone and no one had a negative thing to say about you.

You were a bright light - a star whose passing has produced a white dwarf. Your death will produce another cycle of starbirth although it is hightly unlikely that there can ever be another star like you. Now you can shine together with dad and in peace.

I will miss you dearly.

Love,

Harry

Meine Liebe Oma,

Words cannot express how wonderful you were and how loved you were. You were the most WONDERFUL Oma and I will miss you forever. You have taught me so much and I will always cherish the memories. I will never forget your wonderful cooking or the smell of lotion on your soft sweet skin. I loved to spend time with you and go to your apartment on Saturday nights for dinner. I will never forget going shopping with you or sleeping over your apartment. Most of all I will never forget your grilled cheese sandwiches - the easiest dish to make but they were amazing. I am still trying to make my mac and cheese like yours! You were the best baker and cook!! You were the kindest, sweetest and most loving person and you are finally with Opa having kaffee und kuchen together again! I love you soooooooooooooooo much! You were truly an angel :)

All my love,

Pamela

Meine Liebe Oma,

I miss you so much already. I will never forget that you were the kindest, sweetest, most wonderful woman. I couldn't have asked for a more loving and caring grandmother. You only had kind things to say- harsh words never came from your lips. I cherish all of the time I spent with you, and will never forget how much I adored visiting you and Opa all the time, just being with you. I loved sleeping at your house, spending time with you. I can still smell the aroma in the hallway as the elevator door opened, like freshly brewed coffee or a delicious German meal you prepared- you were the BEST cook/baker!! Everything you did and made was done with care and with love. I miss snuggling up to my soft sweet Oma who always smelled beautiful, like Lauren or just fresh and clean. I will never forget that you were interested in all that I had to say, that you always listened to me, were always proud of me, and always loved me, your Golden Girl. You knew the simplest things in life were the best. You were a truly lady in every way, and I have learned so much from you. I know that you are in heaven with Opa and are finally at peace. I will always love you, my darling Oma.

All my love,

Jennifer
