To the whole family....I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I enjoyed seeing Doris when she would come in for visits. We tended to call eachother "trouble" in a joking manner. I will miss my friend. May she rest in peace.

Dan, I am so very very sorry for your loss. I know we have not seem much of each other since high school, but I remember meeting your mom when your parents lived in Gardiner. I remember how sweet she was and what a lovely women I thought she was, there she was tiny as a button and speaking to me in German, and I not having any idea what she was saying could do nothing but smile!! No words can ever heal the sadness in our hearts when we suffer the loss of a loved one, but my heart goes out to you and Jamie and your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
With love,
Kristin H.

In Life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same.
It broke our heart to lose you; You did not go alone
for part of us went with you , the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories; your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you; you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken; and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one; the chain will link again.
Your loving brother Heinz and partner Belinda
