Acknowledgement

Und immer sind da Spuren deines Lebens. Gedanken, Bilder, Augenblicke und Gefühle. Sie werden uns immer an dich erinnern. Wir sind zutiefst berührt und überwältigt von der grossen und herzlichen Anteilnahme, die uns beim Abschied von Ruth Hablützel-Schneider entgegengebracht wurde. Unser Dank gilt allen, die unsere Mutter besucht, begleitet und ihr Nähe, Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt haben. Diese Gesten haben ihr viel bedeutet und bleiben uns in dankbarer Erinnerung. Wir danken Pfarrer Andreas Weber für die einfühlsamen Worte und persönliche Gestaltung der Trauerfeier, sowie dem Organisten und Ensemble für die würdevolle musikalische Umrahmung. Ein besonderer Dank gilt dem Team des Alterszentrums Weierbach für die liebevolle und fürsorgliche Betreuung und Pflege. Unsere Mutter in guten Händen zu wissen, hat uns stets viel Sicherheit gegeben. Für alle Karten, Blumen, Spenden und Zeichen des Mitgefühls möchten wir uns von Herzen bedanken. Eglisau, im Mai 2026
