Dear Warren and Troy,
Our sincere sympathies to you and your families. We feel with you and can imagine your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
From our remembrance our sister and Aunt Irene was a lovely, adorable, caring, strong and fun-loving woman. I am proud of being one of her nieces. It is my impression she has really enjoyed and made the best of her life. We wished her much more years to live. However, due to her disease her last years had not been easy at all and we are glad she is put out of her misery now. We will keep her in our minds and hearts. God bless her and may she rest in peace.
With love and hugs,
Judith, Christina and brothers Thomas, Johannes and Martin.
For our Sister and Aunt Irene:
Herbst (Autumn)
Die Blätter fallen, fallen wie von weit,
als welkten in den Himmeln ferne Gärten;
sie fallen mit verneinender Gebärde.
Und in den Nächten fällt die schwere Erde
aus allen Sternen in die Einsamkeit.
Wir alle fallen. Diese Hand da fällt.
Und sieh dir andre an: es ist in allen.
Und doch ist Einer, welcher dieses Fallen
unendlich sanft in seinen Händen hält
(Rainer Maria Rilke)
