Acknowledgement

Marlene Stebler-Polz und Peter Max Stebler haben ihre letzte gemeinsame Reise angetreten. Wir danken Herrn J. Bertsch für seine einfühlsame Trauerrede, dem Schweizerischen Marktverband mit Herrn Ph. Widmer für die respektvollen Worte sowie den beiden Fahnenträgern für die letzte Begleitung unserer Eltern. Unser herzlicher Dank gilt auch dem Alterszentrum Birsfelden, dem Kantonsspital Bruderholz, der Spitex sowie allen Menschen, die unsere Eltern liebevoll begleitet und unterstützt haben in ihren letzten Jahren. Tief berührt und dankbar sind wir für die Zuneigung und Freundschaft, die unsere Eltern bis zuletzt von Verwandten, Freunden, Bekannten und Nachbarn erfahren durften. Danke für die tröstenden Worte, Beileidskarten, Telefonate und die Begleitung auf ihrem letzten Weg. Die Erinnerung an sie wird immer in unseren Herzen bleiben.
