To the Busse Brothers,

You lost your sweet mother, Edith. I am so very sorry for your loss. I met your Mom at the German Kaffeeklatsch Group. Somehow, we had a special bond right away; we both came from Bremerhaven, one of her other new homes in her life... May she rest in peace. Edith was a great girl, she had a wonderful sense of humor. She left her mark with whomever she got to know. She will be missed by many.

Sincerely,

Margot Kent

I was sorry to learn of the loss of your mother. I was a nurse who worked several years with her at Valley Manor. She was a survivor of many trials of life which gave her a strong inner strength. Regardless of what may be, she could always be found with a wonderful smile on her face. I could always get a good laugh from her at my feeble attempts to speak German! Fond memories of Edith will always remain with me. Auf Wiedersehen, Edith. God Bless

Wilifried, Wolfgang and Eric,

I was so sorry to read about the passing of your mother. She was such a sweet lady and a dear friend to my mom, Marie Eichenberg. My mother passed away recently and I've come to realize that no matter how old you are, it does not make it any easier to lose a parent.
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Busse Brothers,

As you know, Edith was as good as it gets. I was saddened to hear of her passing. I was thinking of her the day that she died, without having heard the news...funny how that stuff works.

Off! Off! Off! Off! Off! (Get Eric to explain that one to you)

Your mom was the definition of goodness and she will be missed.

I'm sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was such a JOYFUL woman. I don't think I ever saw her without a smile on her face. Perhaps that's why she lived such a long life... I'm sure that you will all miss her for a long, long time....

If I have two entries in this guest book, it is because I am computer challenged and don't know if the first message got included or not... M

I knew Mrs. Busse, her husband and sons very well. She was a dear friend of my late mother, Marie Eichenberg. Mrs. Busse was a wonderful Christian person. To the Busse family I extend my deepest sympathy and know you she is just sleeping until Jesus returns.
