Wenn dr Himmel voller Wulche steit, git es Tage wo di nüt meh fröit. De vergiss im Läbe nie, dass alli Wulche witer zieh! Wir danken herzlich für die mitfühlende und liebevolle Anteilnahme, die wir beim Abschied von unserem lieben Schatz, unserer lieben Mam Ruth Bürki erfahren durften. Wir danken für all die lieben Zeichen der Verbundenheit, tröstenden Worte, stillen Umarmungen, unzähligen Karten und Spenden für die Tiereinrichtung Vier Pfoten sowie Licht-Schatten für die liebevolle Betreuung in der Tagesstätte für Menschen mit Demenz, dem Pflegepersonal A4 Süd Medizin, Spital Thun, für die achtsame Pflege während den letzten Lebenstagen von Ruth. Besonders danken wir Rebekka Grogg, Pfarrerin, für die einfühlsame und liebevoll gestaltete Trauerfeier und Ruth Blaser, Organistin, für die wundervolle musikalische Umrahmung, dem Bestattungsdienst Thomas Rubin für die geschätzte und wertvolle Unterstützung. Den Hausbewohnern und Nachbarn an der Mattenstrasse und allen lieben Menschen, die Ruth in Freundschaft und Liebe während ihres Lebens verbunden waren. Es gibt uns Trost zu wissen, dass Ruth mit ihrer fröhlichen und lieben Art geschätzt wurde und in so vielen Erinnerungen weiterlebt. Wir behalten dich in unseren Herzen wie ein grosser Schatz. Wir vermissen dich. Thun, im September 2026
