Christa Lissy (nee PRINDL) Dear Shirley and Christopher,
It is with heavy heart that I share your grief in losing your beloved mother/grandmother. After all those years of attachment, her consoling words ~ when seemingly unsolvable problems arise ~ helping us to regain our confidence in ourselves. She has passed the torch on to us (womenfolk) to carry on and become the beacon for our own children and grandchildren. We think of her fondly and lovingly, keeping her spirit with us in our hearts each day. She is not gone, but rather walks and talks through us continuing to share our lives. I really liked your Mom, she was very kind and always made a person feel at ease. Whenever she greeted me, she always had a smile on her face. We are very fortunate to have had the mothers we had because they were very special people. Some day I shall honour my mother (posthumously) the way you are honouring yours on January 11th.
With kind regards, Christa
I was very sad to hear of Margarets passing. My mother, Stella Long is a resident of Glenwarren and I saw Margaret often. I speak German, and she loved it when I spoke to her in German. She always had a big smile for me when I visited my mother. I will miss her.
