My deepest sympathies for your loss.
I sat with Christel often on Thursdays at Germania and enjoyed her company. She will be missed by many.
Bob, Dan, Christine and Kim:
You have my most sincere condolences.
As Chorleiter und Ehemaliger Präsident of the Germania Gesgang und Sportverein, I know that your Mutti will surely be missed by the Germania and its members.
She loved her Germania Family which showed by her dedication she made to the club. Until recently, she was at every event and volunteered for many when she was able too. She always had a beverage in her hand and held it high with a "Prosit."
Over the years, she and I danced many polkas on the dance floor; while she filled my ear about something going on at the club. She was always a wealth of information. Everybody loved her!!!
I leave you with this:
Still ruht dein Herz!
Du bist geschieden, der Hand entsank der Wanderstab!
Du gingest heim, du fondest Frieden,
und alles Leid deckt nun das Grab!
Still ruht dein Herz!
In Lenzestagen gingst du zur letzten Ruhe ein,
Verstummt sind all’ die Erdenklagen,
Du schläfst in deinem Kämmerlein!
Still ruht dein Herz!
Im Vaterhause, da ruht es aus von allem Weh!
O schlummre sanft in stiller Klause,
Wir sprechen leis’: Ade! Ade!
Hochachtungsvoll,
Mark W. Pinnick
Chorleiter, Ehemaliger Präsident der Germania
aber vor allem Freund
