Sigrid, Eric, Leif and Kurt,
My condolences on the passing of your mother. She was a good friend for almost forty years. We had many good times together (Ann Arbor Art Fairs, Arts and Crafts shows, Meadowbrook Theater, Lunches at local restaurants,etc.). I admired her tenacity and determination. She is now free to greet new experiences without pain.
