Ahh ~ The life of a Dachshund! And a little bit more....
You had such a sweet, sweet soul Muffin. We miss you like crazy. Can't believe it has been 3 years since you scurried off to the Bridge. I know you're taking good care of the family up there.
Hugs,
Mommy & Daddy
Perhaps one of our oldest blogging buddies and furever furend Frankie scurried off to the bridge the other day. While I know he is safe there with all his buddies, I know that his Mama's heart is breaking into a zillion pieces.
Loss of our fur-children is hard. Perhaps one of our hardest losses. It leaves a huge hole in our hearts. We try to remember that goodbye is not furever. We will see our loved ones again. That is what I choose to believe.
To Lana and Ernie, we send you hugs, love and our sincerest condolences. The blogging community mourns with you.
We all loved Frankie like he was our own. He will be missed but remains close in our hearts.
See you at the Taco Stand someday Frankie. When you done having your taco, go find G-PA Bob and share an ice cream with him.
Hugs,
Kim & Rolf
Love & miss you always,
Mommy & Daddy
Happy birthday to the man who keeps me sane, happy, healthy, loved, supported and so much more....
Love you Rolf!
Hugs,
Kimberly

Spending your sweet 16th birthday at the Rainbow Bridge. We pray it will be a beautiful day for you up there.

Hugs,
Mommy & Daddy
Wishing all our friends a safe and very Merry Christmas!

Kim & Rolf
It's been three years already Lily Belle since you scurried off to the Bridge. In my heart it seems like just yesterday. But at times it feels like forever since I've held you in my arms. The emotions are still so raw. I'm not sure the heart ever fully heals.
I hope you're having fun up there with Muffin, Grandma & G-Pa Bob. Tell them I miss them too.
You're in our thoughts and hearts every single day!
Love forever,
Mommy & Daddy
Even tho you are in heaven celebrating your 96th birthday, you are always in my heart.

My beautiful and sweet Mother in law, Ursula, has left this earthly world to be healed and become whole again in Heaven.
Twelve years of dementia. Nine in a vegatative state. No one deserves this disease!
While Rolf and I can't attend her funeral in NY, I wrote her eulogy which our one nephew Kyle will read on our behalf.
Mom, this is for you.
She was a strong woman who lived her life with purpose and courage. Living through rough times in Germany and trying to provide for and raise a family proved to be extremely difficult. Dad and Mom made the decision in 1957 to make the move to this country called America. We boarded a ship called the United States and voyaged for 6 days until we arrived at Ellis Island. A new place to call home. A new journey. A new beginning. Just try to even imagine what was going through Moms mind at that time. I tell you, that’s a strong woman to deal with that! That shows her strength and courage.
She was a devoted
wife and mother. She was a devoted mother-in-law. She was a very devoted
grandmother who loved her grandkids immensely. She was a devoted friend to
many. She was devoted to her religion.
She was a
caring mother who nurtured her children and raised them with principle and
honor.
She was kind
and gentle. She was stern when she needed to be. She loved to sing and had the voice of an angel. She sang many times with the VonTrapp family singers. She was loved in some way by
all of you here today.
Mom
appreciated the little things in life. A smile, a hug, fresh picked flowers
from the garden, all animals, a tasty sandwich, a letter or phone call from a
friend or even a well made Manhattan. Prost! The list of little things could go on forever.
There is so much more I could tell you about Ursula but then you would be sitting here for a much longer time. And…. I can hear her saying…. “enough about me.”
Mom, though
we all said good bye to you many years ago when this horrible disease fully
kicked in, Kim and I want you to know we are really going to miss you now that
your spirit has flown away to go live in peace. We will miss your silly laugh,
your generosity and your zest for life. But most of all, we will miss your
love.
Thank you
Mom for all the wonderful years we’ve had together. Thank you for being the
BEST Mom a guy could ask for.
The time has
come….. Lay down now and rest with the angels Mom.
Let your voice be heard as you sing your song in all the glories of Heaven. If we take a pause in life, we WILL be able to hear you once again.
In our
hearts I know… you will always be with us.
We love you
Mom!
Auf
wiedersehen
Yesterday, the Rainbow Bridge gained the most special angel. Her name was Bella and we loved her like our own.
She was released from our earthly world..... gently, lovingly and with kind and compassionate hands.
To Rolf and I, she was an honorary Dachshund. OK, so she was 70 pounds. But it was 70 pounds of mush and love.
We HATE cancer and all that it takes from us.
Rolf and I promised you that we will take care of your Mama and Grandpa. We know first hand the pain they feel.
Run and frolic in the gentle breeze sweet Bella. I know that Lily and Muffin were right there to greet you to the Bridge.
You will forever remain in our hearts.
Aunt Kim & Uncle Rolf
