Dear family, I miss Oma as much as you do. I wish to see her everyday, but I know it is only possible in our hearts (and death) but we should not think that way. Love, Nathalie

Remembering Doeshka often and always, perhaps especially when tulips are in bloom. For the flowers she loved,
for the love and joy she bestowed on others, and for her beautiful vivacious presence I miss her.

Thinking of Doeshka and the countless ways she touched the lives of those around her. I miss her smile, presence, voice and joyful and caring spirit. It was an honor to have her in my life from girlhood to my own motherhood. A special woman indeed.

Childhood friends influence us in ways we do not even comprehend at the time. Your entire family. I'm so sorry to hear of this loss. I shall hold dear the wonderful memories from years gone by, as I miss a lovely lady that helped inspire and encourage.

Many years ago I was privileged to have a few longer conversations with your mum and dad. With every exchange they shared something inspiring. Your mum had this special way of listening, encouraging and guiding conversations.
Please accept my condolences for the loss of your mum.

Jan, Dagmar, Vanessa and family: We were sorry to see that your Mom's life is over. We remember her wonderful spirit when we met you at Ambleside several years ago! We had hoped she would win the battle. A lovely, smiling, friendly lady who helped us through many rough times.
