Du siehst den Garten nicht mehr grünen, in dem du einst so froh geschafft. Siehst deine Blumen nicht mehr blühen, weil dir der Tod nahm alle Kraft. Schlaf nun in Frieden, ruhe sanft, und hab' für alles vielen Dank. Tief berührt danken wir für die mitfühlenden Zeichen der Anteilnahme, die liebevollen Karten und die grosszügigen Spenden sowie allen, die Lina Oesch-Eicher auf ihrem Lebensweg begleitet haben. Unser besonderer Dank gilt Pfarrer Balázs Kalincsák für seine einfühlsamen und tröstenden Worte, der Organistin Beatrice Kropf für die musikalische Begleitung, sowie Bluette Knöri für den sorgfältigen Sigristendienst. Ebenso danken wir Sabrina Camichel von In Memoria Bestattungen für die liebevolle Betreuung. Wir schätzen jede Form der Unterstützung, die uns in dieser schweren Zeit entgegengebracht wurde.
