To my friend, Helga,
Always enjoyed our talks about what Germany was like back in your day, and how it is now. You taught me a lot on what it's really like, thank you! I also remember your big smile when I walked into your hospital room with a huge paper flower - seemed to brighten your day. I am glad your pain is gone now, replaced with serenity and comfort. GOD BLESS YOU, Helga, enjoy your new freedom.
A friend, Dean Buzzell

I knew your mother, grandmother for many years. We shared so many stories. I was in Banking and she was always making sure I was absolute correct in my percentages. Every time she came to the office it was my delight. I am thankful we had the opportunity to have more than those Banking conversations.
Most Sincerely,
Bonni Tomczak
