Für die grosse Anteilnahme und Verbundenheit, die wir beim Heimgang unseres lieben Moritz Perroulaz erfahren durften, danken wir von Herzen. Die vielen Zeichen des Mitgefühls – jede Umarmung, jeder Händedruck, jede aufrichtige Anteilnahme, jedes tröstende Wort und jeder mitfühlende Gedanke – haben uns Trost, Mut und Kraft gespendet. Dem Pflegedienst Spitex Sensebezirk, dem Care Team Voltigo, dem priesterlichen und seelsorgerischen Beistand sowie dem Bestattungsteam danken wir herzlich für ihre wertvolle Unterstützung und fürsorgliche Begleitung. Die grosszügigen Spenden, der Blumenschmuck, das Trauergebet verbunden mit der Abendmasse, der feierlich gestaltete Beerdigungsgottesdienst mit der musikalischen Begleitung sowie eure zahlreiche Begleitung auf Moritz’ letztem Weg haben uns tief berührt und uns Zuversicht und Hoffnung geschenkt. Ein grosses »Vergelt’s Gott« Der Gottesdienst des Dreissigsten findet am Sonntag, den 16. August 2026, um 9.00 Uhr in der Pfarrkirche Gifters statt.
