Necrology

Von guten Mächten wunderbar geborgen, erwarten wir getrost, was kommen mag. Gott ist bei uns am Abend und am Morgen und ganz gewiss an jedem neuen Tag. Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Unsagbar traurig und gleichzeitig dankbar für viele schöne Erinnerungen, nehmen wir Abschied von meinem geliebten Ehemann, unserem Vater, unserem Schwiegervater und Farfar Manfred Gilgen. Du hast jahrelang mit ganzer Kraft und grossem Willen gegen Deine unheilbare Krankheit gekämpft. Nun bist Du befreit von Leiden und Schmerzen. Das tröstet uns, dennoch fehlst Du uns nun so sehr.
