Willem Frederik Siedenburg

Dear Dad ... Time has been challenging since your liberation from the world. There are days we are together as members of our remaining family and remember the laughter and good memories of your time here with us in this world. There are times that with gratitude I remember our deep conversations about religion, politics, and the Humanities, and the classical realm of music and beauty of art. You have been a guidance in introducing me to the world of knowledge with an openness for reading and...

Dear Opa, I miss you so much and I think about you daily. I know you're up above looking over us all as you are probably flying airplanes. Maybe Zoe is your co - pilot! I love you so much. <3

THE KATZENJAMMER!! is what I heard for years whenever I entered the family house. Opa and Oma's house was always our resting point. It was never the final destination for all of us but it was always part of our journey. It is a place the Siedenburg's knew they could always go and would always be welcomed. We go there for dinners, celebrations, and to just to be in each other's company. Opa and Oma are and will always be our Point B. No matter where our Point A began or how far the distance....

You were so loved, Dad. The obituary Sandy wrote for you deeply conveys just how much your love for art, beauty, reading, and passion for flying meant to your being in the world. Your love, dedication to our family, our trips to the bookstore, and drives listening to classical music, and our deep philosophical talks, as well as sense of humor will be missed. Until we meet again you will be forever in all of our hearts.

I love you with all my heart! Until we meet again....
