My life is richer to have known Herta and her husband Victor. Herta was a passionate teacher, a dedicated musician, an intriguing historian, whom I was privileged to have met and shared time. She will surely be missed. The choir of Angels in Heaven welcomed a Magnificent new choral director and beautiful soul.
