Not sure what to say?

Dear Robin, many many happy memories with you and all your family way back when... Remembering the wonderful laugh Axel gave to near every encounter! May he rest in peace. Love to you and Natalie Erin

Carol, my thoughts & prayers go out to you and the family. Your cherished memories will help you through this difficult time.

Dear Carol,
I think Andy expressed our family's feelings very well. We were all sad to hear of your great loss and are thinking of you...and Axel...during this very difficult time.
Very best wishes,

Dear Carol,

I will never forget receiving a package with shoes from Germany for my 2 kids. Probably the most thoughtful "thank you" I have ever received from any client. It was truly touching.

Carol, you and Axel truly completed each other. Our thoughts are with you.

We lived next door on Aspen for many years. Axel was the neighbor who was always jovial and upbeat, as we observed him tending his beautiful garden; a very nice man.

Axel, what can I say. Next time I come to Portland I will sooo miss meeting up with him. I am very, very happy that I got to meet him and that we were neighbors for a while.

Er war ein wirkliches Individuum und was habe ich so gerne mit ihm erzaehlt.

Dear Carol, dear family, my thoughts are with you.

An outstanding obituary that captures the Axel we knew. Axel was an upbeat person to work with and such a laugh that would brighten any day. We are honored to have known Axel.

To Natalie, Robin and carol...A beautiful vocal of this Happy song, named Axel Behn.... sung in lyrics I will gratefully remember.
