Sorry for your loss, Heike and Family, and sending warm condolences.
Heike…I’m truly sorry to hear of your beloved husband’s passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers from my family to yours my dear friend. ♥️
Heike, thoughts and prayers of comfort for you and your family. So sorry to hear of your loss.
Unfortunately, I was in hospital and my wife, Inka, was at home with limited mobility, when Werner passed away. About 35 yrs. ago, Inka was very dear to his heart, and he to hers. Inka died too, on 5 February this year. She was 78. The cause was a brain hemorrhage. Both of what was once a great love have gone away. Let us always remember the love and joy both brought to the world. Remember that there can be sunshine after rain, and gladness after the pain in our hearts.
