Subject: about my grantmother - message from INGMAR

Yesterday afternoon, Sunday January 15, 2007, my Grantmother passed away
with her beloved ones around her. May she rest in peace. I was there myself,
together with my dad, two aunts and the husband of one of my aunts. She was
87 years old. I tell this here because of her contribution to the
Anniversary site, see below. I do not feel very sad, Oma had a beautiful
rich life with many children and grantchildren, a great religious faith and
without serious illness. To me, she was a warm, creative, sweet and ever
understanding woman, always optimistic and caring. We'll miss her but we're
happy that she found peace now. Ingmar

Dear Ingmar,

As I told you yesterday when I received the news, I feel very sorry about
your loss, knowing full well how important grandmothers tend to be and how
much you loved yours.  I am sure her spirit and influence will remain with
you for a long time.

I am posting this only today because I had received your notice as private
mail and had to wait for your permission to post it.

To you, Barbara, the kids and all relatives I send my heartfelt condolence.

Yours,
Reinhard/Ron
