Very sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful lady-mother-grandmother. My prayers are with all of you. Peace be with you at this time and during the holidays.
Dear Barb, It was a pleasure to have known and taken care of your Mother. What a terrific gal she was. My heart goes out to you and your family. I would have liked to come to the funeral home but I had to work and will again tomorrow. Tomorrow will be your toughest day. The coffee offer still stands. I’d like to think that we have become pretty good friends. So sorry for the loss of your Mother. Please extend my condolences to your family. Wendy Ristau
Dear Family,
may I offer you my sincere condolences with expression of our deepest sympathy.
When Susi-Ann called and told me about your mother Luise I was very sad. I share
your pain because I also lost my mother in July this year.
In the last months I looked at a lot of old photographs, there were some with your
mother and my father Ernst in Bächlingen when they spent summer holidays with her
aunt Anna. They were always very close and he was fond of her visits in Germany with
her husband Joe. In the early 70th I had the chance for a short visit and you were so friendly.
Luise was such an open, smart and warmly human person I will never forget her.
With love for all of you.

Dear Janie,Susie,Joey, Barbie and Dave,
So sorry to hear of your Mom passing but know she is with your Dad and they are smiling. I have such great memories of being a kid and knowing you all when we lived all those years on Mill St. Your Mom was always so very nice to me and never saw her when she wasnt smiling. I used to love listening to your parents talking and when things were getting a little heated their voices mixing between German and Italian and English but you always could tell when someone was gonna catch heck. I smile remembering your family from your Dad teaching me to cool crawdads with butter and garlic and beer to your Moms food. My heart goes out to you all over the loss of your Mom.
