Ursel Lange was a memorable woman whom I knew from St. Thomas More when she taught religion classes there. I loved knowing her and working with her and knowing her children. I remember a small stitchery she had "Do Everything With Love". It took my breath away because of how beautifully it was worked. It was as if the love were speaking from every stitch. I was glad this motto was mentioned in the newspaper.
I also knew Ursel from a prayer group that was started by another woman struggling with cancer, Pauline. I remember Ursel sharing with us her journal and how it was stuffed with articles she had clipped, pressed flowers, and tiny writing of her thoughts and prayers each day for her family and friends and the world.
She was a delightful, kind and loving woman who leaves behind goodness for her family and those who knew her.
Thank you, Lord, for Ursel and her presence in our world.

Lieber Rudy und Familie,
unsere herzlichste Anteilnahme zum Tode von Ursel.Meine gro?e Schwester war der Vermittler von Familiengeschichten vor meiner Zeit. Mit dem leichten Frankfurter Dialekt und dem Amerikanischen Slang erz?hlte sie gerne aus fr?heren Tagen, von Verwandten und Familienerlebnissen aus der Vergangenheit.Mit Bildern hat sie die Erinnerungen festgehalten und ihre Erfahrungen aufgeschrieben. Es war ihre Zeit,davon erfahren zu d?rfen, bin ich dankbar .

Ursel brought a positive energy to our neighborhood where I grew up. My own mother always appreciated Ursel's friendship, and would happily comment about visiting with Ursela 'round the block. Ursel truly brightened the world with her special spirit.

What a lovely tribute to a lovely lady. Having only met her a few times, I was touched by her spirit and sense of humor. She immediately reminded me of my own dear German grandmothers who I cherished above all my elders. They just dont make'em like this anymore! God blessed her.

Ursel was the kindest, most loving and giving person that anyone could know. She took pictures of us at the TGS "Auf Deutsch Bitte" sessions and always gave copies to anyone who wanted them. I will miss her deeply. I treasured each moment that I spent with her and I will always remember her. She is with God now, and in a much better place than us, and I am sure she is looking down on us and will be especially this Thanksgiving.

My mother and I held Ursel in the highest esteem; she was truly a lady of the old school. She was loving and giving and always had an open ear for other's problems, in spite of her own suffering. She will remain in our hearts forever, and "Auf Deutsch, bitte" will be sorely missed. We hope she is in a better place now, as a matter of fact we are sure she is in heaven!

I met Ursel last year at the thanksgiving dinner meeting of the Texas German Society. I could tell right away that she was a wonderful woman with a great sense of humor. As she was telling me about herself she said "I am a Hamburger" as she is from Hamburg. We laughed about that and I will never forget that moment. I was only able to attend a few Auf Deutsche Bitte lunch gatherings because of work, but the ones I did attend I enjoyed immensely. The luncheons will certainly not be the same without Ursel, her photo albums, or her sense of commaraderie which was shared by all. I wish I had been able to know her longer and better, but I will forever remember the times we were able to share together.
Dominus vobiscum Ursel!

Ursel Lange was an amazing woman. We just knew her for only a few years. But she really touched our hearts. Hearing her voice on the phone to remind us of the next gathering at Rudy Lechner's, we always went, if our time permitted. She had a photo book ready, we could look into and she had many, many stories to tell. She loved her family dearly and the ranch was always something she could talk about forever. She was loved by many, respected by everyone and we will miss her dearly! Our hearts go out to her husband, children, grandchildren and extended family!

MRS. LANGE WAS, INDEED, ONE OF THE VERY NICEST, STRONGEST, 'GIVING' PEOPLE AND NEIGHBORS WE HAVE EVER KNOWN.
WITH SUCH A PRISTINE, LOVING AND DEVOTED FAMILY.
SHE IS, INDEED, WITH GOD AS I WRITE.
WE MAY NOW PRAY "TO" HER!!!

Some years ago, I learned from the Program Director of the Texas German Society that one of its regular members, Ursel Lange, could no longer attend the meetings because her daughter could no longer bring her and she could not drive at night because of her eyesight's having been impaired by diabetes. I could not remember the lady, but I saw by her address and telephone number that she did not live too far away from me. So I called her and offered to pick her up whenever we had a meeting. She was grateful and accepted. Shortly thereafter, I began picking up another lady who lived in close proximity to Ursel. Thus began a long association between the three of us on Texas German Society nights as we rode to and from the meetings together.
Ursel was such a dedicated member. For several years, she was the first to raise her hand when asked for several people to cook and bring a turkey for the Thanksgiving Dinner. She brought her photo albums to share in which she had displayed the previous meeting's activities. When she was still able to participate, she took bus trips with us and recorded those with her talented photography ability. She organized monthly gatherings at Rudy Lechner's Restaurant at which time anyone interested in brushing up on his/her German gathered around the table to eat and gossip Auf Deutsch.
Ursel was the epitome of the word "Giver." She gave and gave and gave. I don't think she was capable of taking. I know her family is hurting so badly and will miss her no end. But they have the memories of her generous, giving heart and who will always be with them. God bless all of them.
