From Hanspeter to LIly

Dear Khun Lily,

Your obit on Joerg Maierhans on Monday, September 08. 08 at Christ Church Convent Road.

There are moments in life where steaks stop broiling, fishes stop poaching, soups stop simmering and breads stop breaking.

It was just yesterday where I had the opportunity to experience such an almost un-describable ones a lifetime minute.

When you takeover the rostrum to place your obit.

There she stands a woman in front of all the mourners showing courage and strength of will, what came up from the deepest of her heard, you found the right words and do not hide your tears and emotions. What you was saying found its ways under the skin of all the attendance and there and where one was seeing trying tears from her/his eyes.

Besides the hero you was talking about there was two more hero under the wooden roof of the church.

Namely Joergs mother who has to make her hardest trip a loving mother has to make and this around the half of the globe to attended the funeral of her own beloved son. I personally belief suffering this kind of pain, there is nothing on earth to compare with and only a loving mother will understand.

Then there were you,

A power display of true feelings, heard shaking emotions and world open minds which can only develop in a person which has bin guarding for hours and hours on the bedside of departing Joerg.

I don’t know what more to say but I am confident you know

Tank you and your Husband for all you have done for our friend Joerg it was the most and therefore the appreciation from all of us is un-list able.

Memory felt greetings

Hanspeter Schwaninger
