Necrology

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. Mary Elizabeth Frye.

In tiefer Trauer und unendlicher Liebe nehmen wir Abschied von Veronika Elizabeth Gough-Meng. Nach einem reich erfüllten Leben durfte unsere geliebte Ehefrau, Schwester, Tante, Patentante, Mutter und Grossmutter im Alter von 77 Jahren zu Hause friedlich einschlafen. «Was bleibt, sind Liebe, Dankbarkeit und die Erinnerung an einen wundervollen Menschen. Du bist nicht mehr da, wo du warst. Trotzdem bist du überall, wo wir sind.» Wir vermissen dich unendlich:

Wir vermissen dich unendlich
