Allen, die unserer lieben Hildegard Oeschger-Birrer im Leben in Freundschaft und Liebe begegnet sind und uns in diesen Tagen der Trauer und des Abschiednehmens mit grosser Anteilnahme begleitet haben. Die vielen Zeichen herzlicher Verbundenheit freuen uns und geben uns Kraft. Die von Christoph Cohen sehr persönlich gestaltete Gedenkfeier und die musikalische Begleitung durch den Kirchenchor Sta. Maria/St. Konrad haben uns sehr bewegt. Ganz herzlich danken wir dem Pflegepersonal des Alterszentrums Wiesli, das Hildegard in ihren letzten Lebensmonaten sehr gut betreut hat. Auch die zahlreichen Spenden an Diheiplus und andere gemeinnützige Organisationen sind Zeichen des Mitgefühls und des Gedenkens. Wir danken allen herzlich.
