Dear Karin and family:
I'm so sad and sorry you lost your father and your boys lost their Opa.

I remember Heinz as my very first and very special respite person at my previous place of employment.

You were so very lucky to have him in your life. He was such a kind soul of a man.

Find peace knowing he's with your mom/grandma now and they are dancing away with joy as your mom has been waiting.

Big hug and lots of love to you. Please know you were so fortunate to have had him and that you were able to care for him.

You loved him so and it was so very obvious to me that the love was strong and true.

I'm thinking of you with love. I'm hear to talk anytime.

Lots of love, Beth Chancellor

Dearest Karin,
My fondest memory of your father is the night I went with you and your parents to the Crystal Ballroom where your father sang with the LiederKranz. Your father was so handsome in his tux. Your mother, you and I were dressed in our long gowns and danced under the crystal chandeliers while we listened to your father sing. The music was beautiful. The evening was magical. I will always treasure the memories of your gentle father and your attentive, loving mother, the two of us sleeping in a feather bed and sneaking extra Gummi B?ren. You and your parents are part of my family. You are in my thoughts and my prayers.
Love always,
Christine
