"Frau Jehle", as she was then known, was a beloved German professor to me and others at U.Va. in the late 60's. I lost track of her until seeing her at the downtown Charlottesville recycling center thirty years later. "You're Frau Jehle," I beamed; she remembered me, and with that wonderful smile said she was Frau Raisig now. A beautiful, beautiful lady.

Eberhard and Dietrich:
I remember still my first time eating cottage cheese at your house on Sherwood so long ago. I am sorry to hear news of your mother's passing, but I hope that you take solace in the fact that she is at peace with your father.

Dear Family of Dietlinde...I met your lovely mother at Bassett Park Manor as she would spend time with my Mother, Rose Neubecker. Your Mother was a lovely woman..not a woman of many words at the point I met her but still, her facial expressions allowed me to realize that she understood and appreciated our interaction. As I recently lost my Dad in February, please know that she is with you always now, in spirit and in some ways, that is more powerful than in flesh. My Dad talks to me in many ways now and I know your lovely Mother will do the same..we will keep you all in our prayers..love, Cindy Messina

Dieta has been part of our lives since the 1960's when we became involved in Democratic political campaigns. Then, when art department colleague Bill Seitz became desperately ill, she dedicated much time and effort to his care and assistance to his wife, Irma. Later yet, when I was mending from a hip fracture, others sent cards and called, but Dieta came to my house with an unforgettably delicious chocolate bar. For many years she attended and participated in our AAUW Branch sharing so much wisdom and good humor. And her presentation about her mother's life illuminated for many of us aspects of a period of history that only a few members had experienced. How abundant are the memories we cherish of Dieta! Blessings upon you, all.
