Lieber Onkel Michel und Familie,
es gibt nichts, was uns die Abwesenheit eines geliebten Menschen ersetzen kann.
Je schöner und voller die Erinnerung, desto härter die Trennung, aber die Dankbarkeit schenkt in der Trauer eine stille Freude.
Man trägt das vergangene Schöne wie ein kostbares Geschenk in sich.
Von ihm geht eine dauernde Freude und Kraft aus.

Lieber Onkel Michel, unser aufrichtiges Mitgefühl, unsere Gedanken sind bei Euch.
Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

We cannot believe that our Aunt Anna passed away so fast. She was the "Head" of the family. Our Aunt was such a humorous, lovely and funny person. It was always a pleasure to have her around and talk to her. We have so wonderful memories on her. It is a great lost, especially for our Dad, her only brother. Our deepest sympathy to Uncle Michel, Steve, Mike, Peter and George with their families. The last greetings form her home country Germany/Kirchlein.
We miss you !
