I hope you know no more sorrow. I would like to know more of Walburga's activities during WWII. Is there anything published anywhere that I might buy.

Dr. Engle made a lasting impression on our family. We enjoyed crossing our street to visit with her, and listen to her tell stories of her past. She was always kind to us and was a good neighbor for the years we shared . We will miss her presence and her keen sense of humor. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family, and especilly to her son, Robert Engle and family.
