Erinnerungen sind kleine Sterne, die tröstend in das Dunkel unserer Trauer leuchten. Wir danken herzlich unseren Verwandten, Freunden und Bekannten für die zahlreichen Zeichen des Mitgefühls, der tröstenden Anteilnahme und der Wertschätzung beim Abschied von Alois Ruoss-Hoenke. Die vielen lieben Worte, Umarmungen und Zeichen der Freundschaft haben uns tief berührt. Wir danken für die grosszügigen Spenden an die Alzheimer Stiftung. Ein besonderer Dank geht an das Praxisteam Dr. Heller für die jahrelange umsichtige Begleitung, an das Spitex-Team für die Pflege zu Hause und an das KZU Bächli-Team für die fürsorgliche Betreuung während der letzten Monate. In Erinnerung an die einfühlsame und persönliche Gestaltung der Abschiedsfeier bedanken wir uns herzlich bei Seelsorger Roger Oesch. Nürensdorf, im Oktober 2026

Wir sind tief berührt durch die vielen Zeichen der Anteilnahme und der Verbundenheit, die wir beim Abschied von unserer Mutter, Grossmutter und Schwiegermutter Helen Maag-Renz entgegennehmen durften. Sehr herzlich danken wir Frau Pfarrerin Stephanie Gysel für die einfühlsamen Worte sowie Florian Wachter (Piano) und Johannes Herzog (Cello) für die wunderbare Musik an der Abdankung. Ebenso danken wir allen, die Helen in ihrem Leben mit Liebe und Freundschaft begegnet sind, insbesondere auch den Betreuerinnen und Betreuern des Alterszentrums Haus Tabea in Horgen für die aufmerksame und fürsorgliche Pflege in den letzten Jahren. Ein grosser Dank geht auch an alle, die mit ihren Spenden die zwei Kulturstiftungen in Horgen unterstützt haben. Sie waren für unsere Mutter von grosser Bedeutung. Horgen, im Oktober 2026
