I was so sorry to hear of mother's passing. I met her at St. Elizabeth's last year. She was such a nice lady, and I remember her beautiful smile. She even had the grace to laugh at my bad joke. I recognized her accent as being German, and shared that I had visited Germany while in college. BUT I could only remember one sentence of German: "Ich habe alles meine Deutsch vergessen." (She had a great sense of humor.) I will keep your family in my prayers. God bless--Denise Koster
