Not sure what to say?

I had to smile today thinking of Ursula! Fond memories - can't believe she left us ten years ago. So sad!

I think of her and smile.

Ursula is still alive and well in our memories. Her kindness and love will endure. Stephan Hess and family

Every year Ursula would travel to the Frankfurt Book Fair and promote the messages of her books. She did this with lots of energy and even more out of love for her authors. Great memories that I was privileged to share.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

I met Ursula in 1964 when she was still teaching at Brooklyn College. She inspired me to pursue the PhD and was very influential in my research and studies. We have remained friends all of these years. She will be missed.

We will always have fond memories!
