Our family had a very bad year in 2015 when we lost a lot of family members.
It started with Manfred in February, we knew he was very ill due to diabetes complications and his heart was failing. At the same time, on my husband's side of the family, he also lost his brother 2 weeks apart-- they were both 65 years old and has a similar name called Manfred Freddy, and Frederick was called Fred, I never forgot this. I had just returned from Scanton that Sunday, and on Wednesday we learned that Fred was critically injured. He passed on February 14, 2015. Then we lost our nephew, Charles Hepplewhite, the eldest son Gerlinde and Robert Hepplewhite. This was more than Jessie could endure, and she passed away on October 18, 2015. Freddy and Jessie are interred together and I hope they both rest in peace. We can now go to the same cemetery and visit our mother and our siblings. Charles is interred in a mausoleum nearly. February-early March is a season of birthdays. Mutti our mother February 21, my husband February 25th, twins Freddy and Laurent on February 27rth, Christa March 1st. So we think of all our loved departed ones
especially that time of year and on their birthdays, and often out of the blue something will remind us of them. We have a hard time believing that two of the five siblings have already gone.
