Elfriede!

Elfriede, Doris' Mother, died this afternoon while Doris and I were on Skype with her and Moni, Doris' sister.  Doris and Moni were both able to speak with their Mother and told her how much they loved her and that it was alright for her to leave and joined Karl Heinz, her husband and their Father.   She had had a wonderful life and a family who loved her very much. Elfriede's death was a peaceful passing from this life to the next with both of her daughters there with her in her final moments.  Moni waited at the hospital with their Mother until Hubi and Christoph arrived with bouquets of flowers from their gardens.  Moni lighted candles and filled the room with light.  This is a sad day for the Herr family.
