Elisabeth Hennig

Mom, Christmas came and we countinued with our tradition. Opa was here on christmas eve and we had a wonderful dinner and exchanged gifts. Like always we did the family pictures and even the goofy one all the while you not being here weighed heavyly on our minds. your not being here was definatly noticed by us all. I ended up being the picture taker and taking alot of pictures. christmas morning opa came back over and we all had breakfast that i cooked. It was the first christmas without you and it was extremely hard but in spirit we know you were here watching all of us laugh and making sure we were all okay. I just wanted you to know we all love you & miss you so much but with you as our angel watching over us we were able to have a good christmas. opa even sang christmas song in german as roberto played guitar. wish you could have seen it. well mom take care remember we love you & miss you more each and every day.

Dear Hennig Family,
Sending our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of Elle. She was a wonderful person, always willing to help and always caring. We will remember her always as our great neighbor in Anchorage. May God bless you all and give you peace.

Yours,
Chuck, June, Brett, Christina, and Andrea Willis

Your daughter Tina

oma,
Its been 3 months and your gone. I miss you so much I have to remind my self every day even though you are not here i think of how important you are to me and how much you taught me in life I thank you for that so much and admire you for all that you did. Im just letting you know that im thinking of you i miss you and i will never forget the wonderfull person you were that did anything and helped anyone.... your beutiful smile will be remembered i love you oma thanks again..... You are one pretty angel....... love nola

as days go by I hope that you & your family are getting some relief by knowing that your mom is in a better place. Tina you sound so much better on the phone, believe me your anger to will fade its just a step in the grieving process and in time everything will seem somewhat normal again besides the fact that your mom isnt there on a day to day basis but having the memorys that you do will fill the void of her physical presence. remember EVERYONE grieves in their own way and are entitled to that. keep your head up and stay strong we all look forward to seeing you soon. be safe and give the girls our love. we miss you and your in our thoughts and prayers.

remember: may your mothers life be honored by all she loved.
may her memory be cherished for all she gave.
may your heart be comforted by all you shared.

You never said I'm leaving
You never said good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knew why

A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.



If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried...
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we've cried...
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted You!

Mom thinking of you everyday, you are not forgotten by me at all, the times we shared will always be with me, the trips to walmart, petco, & talking on the phone 5 times a day is what I miss most. alexandra cyrena sierra & sofia miss you more than words can say, sofia goes with me most of the time when i bring you flowers. we hope you like them. I love you mom & you are with me everywhere i go, thank you for all the memories I have. I love you~
your daughter Tina L Greaser

oma,
Words cant explain how i feel. I cant believe you are gone its hard to face it,,, Im so lost at times waking up wishing i can call you or you calling me oma you taught me so much in life i always could tell you anything you gave me so much guidence in life i feel like you taught me so much that others didnt. Words just cant explain how i feel i want to be angry at the world but i know it cant be that way I feel like i just cant move on Life is so short at times and i feel like you are suppose to be here still i can hear you talking to me at times its crazy oma i misss you sooo much and i wish there was a way to make you be here still. LIfe for me will never be the same now that you are gone i feel like its a dream still its so hard for me to deal with i think of all the fun times we had Oma I love you so much I know you are in a better place i have to except the fact that you are gone it hurts more and more every day but no matter what you will always be in my heart everywhere i go..... Thank you Oma for everythng i love you so much every time i look up i see such a pretty ANGEL in the sky..... love you oma always and forever R.I.P.

Dear Oma,
Youve been gone for what seems like ever. I can not explain how much you mean to me. I always told my self to be prepared for when you leave. I never really could be that prepared. You are the only person whom I have met throught out my life in which I completley hands down trusted more than anything. I never feel like I really trust anyone, but with you its different. Trust is one of the best things you can gain with someone and I am so mad I dont have you here. I dont know who to call now. You kept secrets with me, and never told. You taught me some of the very most important things in life and I could never be so greatfull to have gained that kind of knowledge from you. With out you, I know I would not have turned out the way I am today. I am so angry that God took you. I am so very angry, I just cant understand why he thinks he needs you more than we do. It is the most unfairness I have ever felt. Oma I dont know what to do most the time. Time keeps going by, and everyone seems to forget how much you mean. I think about you all day, and thank God for all the time I spent with you.
I wish he wouldnt have taken you away from me. I feel alone at times when I dont have you to call.
I dont know what to do now, But I do know that I love you so very much.
Love,
Athena

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Michael,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I know firsthand how the pain seems to never end. I remember the times during Christmas when I was a guest at your mom and Peter's house. What an experience to see the German heritage at its fullest!! Now I know of two very special angels looking down upon us, your mother and mine. God bless your family and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Hennig family,

I see and remember Ellie as someone larger than life. I remember growing up she was so full of life, her stories of Germany and tales of coming to America stuck in my mind....she is someone that truly appreciated her family and her life. I remember her giving the best advice; it was down to earth and sometimes funny, but always right on the mark. I think the reason why she loved animals so much is because she appreciated the gift of life so deeply. There was always some sort of pound cake at her house and she was eager to feed me anytime I stopped by. She always made me feel welcome, and I hope to someday see her again at the Octoberfest in Heaven. Ellie, I love you, Ann

Lieber Peter, Tina, Kirsten, Michael , Christopher & Family,
Unsere Gedanken sind oft bei Euch und bei Elli. Wir sind traurig, dass wir nicht mehr mit Elli reden können, Wir haben uns so sehr auf den geplanten Besuch im August in Deutschland gefreut. WIr kennen wenige Menschen, die so selbstlos, hilfsbereit für jeden und so lebenslustig sind wie Elli. Aber wir sind auch sicher, dass Sie dort, wo Sie jetzt ist eine Gute Zeit haben wird, Sie wird auf uns alle herab schauen und eines Tages werden alle wieder beisammen sein.
Unsere Gedanken und Gebete sind bei Euch allen.

Mom,
I'm still working on getting past being angry about this whole situation. I don’t think it will happen today, tomorrow, or even next year. I know that when God calls us home, we must go immediately and without hesitation. You taught me that and many other things. You were always right about a great deal of things throughout my life, and about the choices I made. I’m sorry I didn’t always listen. You knew the hearts, minds, and souls of people. That ability didn't deteriorate with your passing. You would not be surprised or shocked at some of the acts and forms of avidity. You would just say, “Kirsten, don’t worry about, let God handle the trespasses and punishments,” in German. You taught me to believe in and wait on karma. Sometimes it takes awhile, your ability to be patience and forgive, were always so much stronger than mine. I find myself too feeling a little guilty about being selfish and wanting you here for the birth of my daughter. You have always been there, with Gavin, with Kevin, and even Sabine. You traveled oceans, even when you weren’t in the best of health, to spend a few days or weeks with my little ones after they came into the world. I’m not sure what to do or how to deal with your absence this time. I actually find myself completely lost at times, and unsure of what to do or how to act. I know you would want me to take care of Dad. I’m trying to do that the best I can from where I am. I guess you would tell me to learn a lesson from all of this, and I think that I have learned a few. I’m just sorry that I didn’t always tell you what I felt, or how much you really meant to me. I’m sorry that I took the last times with you for granted. I will always love you, and keep your memory alive with my children.

Your Daughter,
Kirsten

Dear Peter and family:

It was great knowing Ellie for the short time we knew her. May the Lord be with you in your time of loss.

My thoughts about you grow more and more each and everyday. I look back at the times we've spent together, and I realize just how much you meant to me and the rest of my family. Even if it was spending time with me, James, daddy, and even my mom, I always learned a new lesson about life. I thank you for that! You're in my thoughts and prayers everyday and every night! I love and miss you, Oma!

My thoughts are with all you during this difficult time. I can not even imagine the saddness you all must be feeling. Elli was a great woman who I truly believe found a friend in everyone she met. She will be truly missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To my friend Elli.

I will miss you soo much, even though I have not seen you, in some time. But all the miles could not keep us apart, and our phone calls will always be precious to me.
You will always be in my heart.

You were always ready for a Party. Now show the angles how to have fun.

Sleep in peace.

Ursula Aamodt


To Peter and Family.
I am so saddened by the loss of your
wife/mother/ grandmother.

She will be sorely missed. I wish there was something I could do or say, to take away the hurt you most be feeling.
I will say a prayer for all of you.

Please exept my deepest sympathy.

Love Ursula Aamodt


I hope this Poem will help some.


When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have many thing to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many beautiful years!
I gave my love. You can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.

So grieve a while for me, if you must.
Then let your grieve be comforted by trust,
It's only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away,for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see me, I'll be near,
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.

i miss u oma <3

Athena, sisters & Tina, May the good Lord be with each and every one of you during the difficult time of loss of your Grandma (Tina's Mom). Our sincere condolences and Joe sends his as well and is sorry he is not here with you at this time and according to his words she was a kind, caring dedicated, accepting type of person who he will miss visiting with Athena...

Elli was a wonderful woman, and just on Wendnesday before her passing, we sat together at our monthly luncheon. Other than saying hello and see you, I didn't get a chance to talk to her. But it was nice to see her one more time. We will remember her and will miss her "Krapfen", escpecially the men.

Elli will be with Margarete now, and I can see the two looking down on us, talking and making our world a better place.

Rest in peace, Elli.

Mr. Hennig, Kirsten, Family and Friends. Sympathy for the loss of your loved one. May you all find comfort in the Lord. PS 121, I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip-he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Isreal will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you-the Lord is your shade at you right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm-he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

Elli, I have felt like a part of your family for the better part of the last 20 years. You welcomed me into your family and treated me as one of your own. You touched so many lives around you and it seemed you never met a stranger. You are an amazing woman and every one you have touched will miss you greatly. I thank you and God for being a part of mine and James' life. I know that you are still with us in spirit and hope these words find you. If I had one wish it would be for one more coffee with you.

Peter, Michael, Tina and Kirsten, I cannot begin to tell you how saddened I am for you. If the sadness I feel was a mountain, your pain and loss would be the Alps. I cannot imagine the strength needed to get through this time but I know that you will pull together as a family and help each other as you always have done. I love all of you and you are in my thoughts and heart.

Elli was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by all.

Dear Hennig Family and Friends,

I am a co-worker of Kirsten Anderson. Even though I never met Kirsten's mother, from what I read and heard, she was a very caring and giving woman. I am so sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
Matt
