Hello,
i have to admit first i am not very religious, but my granny was. And i know she would be very glad if some fine folks who didnt even know her would send a prayer.
She was a women who never hhad an easy life. Worked her back of on her fathers farm and continued running it. lost a husband (at the age of 20)and most of her farm in WW 2, raised two kids one from the lost, one from a new husband (my mother)suffered of severe depression and diabetes.
Two years ago she had a bad stroke and was from then on in a wheel chair and not capable of doing anything on her own, even eating or talking.
Yesterday her suffering was ended, her heart failed finally and now she is gone.
Even though i know it is better for her i am sad, i had a very close relationship, cared a lot, fed her, dressed her and took care as my granddad couldnt do it because of his age and my parents have a full time job. I miss her already.
In rememberance of Else Schorr, a hard working, loving, and always concerning and helping woman!
