Dear Alice, Heidi, Peter and Kim, I was so sorry to hear about Helmut. He was such a kind, sweet man. I know you will miss him very much. May all your good memories remain with you. Love, Connie
Hi Peter, Thinking of you during this time of sorrow. I’m sure you have many wonderful memories of your dad. We were in high school together. Take care, Marge
All of us at Mory’s Military will miss Helmut-he was a great addition to our group!
To Alice and children, Helmut was a wonderful dental patient, moreover he helped me find out where my grandmother was born in Germany and translating some of her childhood school papers for me. With prayers to all.
Dear Kim, Peter, Heidi and families; Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for the loss of your Father last year. Just seeing his picture in this listing brought back so many memories of so many wonderful times spent with your family, now so many years ago. Thank you for including me in your family, the love, the laughter and the candles on the Christmas trees.
