Necrology

Als Gott sah, dass der Weg zu lang, der Hügel zu steil und das Atmen zu schwer wurde, legte er seinen Arm um dich und sprach: Komm heim.‘

Traurig nehmen wir Abschied von unserem lieben Vater, Grossvater, Bruder, Schwager, Onkel und Freund Theodor Niklaus Matter, "Maheli". Nach langer Krankheit durfte er nach kurzem Spitalaufenthalt ruhig einschlafen.
