Dear Family of MARY,

in German there is a saying: "What are the words that the mother was there."

Our deepest sympathy for you and our remembrance of your dear mother.

"The only important thing in life, the traces of love we leave behind when we go."

Albert Schweitzer

in gratitude

Silvia and Jörg with Marie and Paul


Liebe Familie von Mariechen,

in Deutsch gibt es einen Spruch: "Was sollen die Worte, die Mutter war es".

Unser Mitgefühl für Euch und unser Gedenken für eure liebe Mutter.

"Das einzig Wichtige im Leben sind die Spuren der Liebe, die wir hinterlassen, wenn wir gehen."

Albert Schweitzer

in Dankbarkeit

Silvia und Jörg mit Marie und Paul
