Dear Colleen and family,
so sad to bid farewell to beloved Siglinde...
Our hearts are with you in this difficult time !
Many years ago Siglinde and mum Inge were little girlfriends at Maschau/Sudetenland. They were separated during the very bad times when they had to leave their home and country.
Years later - both lived separated their lifes in USA and germany - they met again when Siglinde visited her parents in germany.
She always tried to say hello to my mum and dad who loved her like a sister and close friend.
They could maintain their friendship now over decades by visits and phone calls
Siglinde was always special for my mum - a deep bond that never could be cut up.
I loved her open mind, her laughter, her visits !
During the last few years mum suffered from cancer and partly exhausting therapies, so she was really depressed to be informed about Siglinde`s condition
There was few time to realize the farewell :-(
I met mum and dad today...showing and translating them Siglinde`s obituary here at gayandciha.com
I think it helped to see her pics , to read about her life, talking about Siglinde, to mourn together:-(
Siglinde will be sadly missed but she will stay always in our hearts !
Treasure the memories !
Bless you all !
Christine
