Necrology

Der Weg zur wahren Freiheit bestand nicht darin, zu tun und zu lassen, was mir gefiel, sondern mein Leben in die Hände des Höchsten zu legen und seinen Willen zu tun. Diese Erkenntnis gehört zu einer der schönsten Erfahrungen meines Lebens. Emil.

Unerwartet verstarb am Dienstag in Rom unser Bruder, Schwager, Onkel, Grossonkel, Getti und Anverwandter Kardinal Emil Paul Tscherrig. Er war uns zeitlebens ein Vorbild und eine große Stütze. In dankbarer Erinnerung:
