Hello Hanee , I will never forget your birthday because you are part of my life only for 28 years . You are resting in a much better place than here in this crazy World . I tell you it’s unbelievable what is happening in America the beautiful because it’d not what people mostly think about it . So Happy Birthday in heaven & say hello to most of your family who are with you now .

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Vati. You would have been 97 years old a today. The cousins, who are now the elders, just had a family reunion last weekend, It was so much fun! You would have loved it. We reminisced the day away. Lots of laughs. We even had Kaffee und Kuchen an die dritte Stunde. The Kuchen included Pflaumen Kuchen mit Schlag. The day was a blast and we will all definitely do it again. I think you were there is spirit though. Greeting to all on that side of the veil.

Time passes so fast that it’s hard to believe it’s 12 years already.again thanks for the memories. I am doing very well . Thanks for all your help to be able to bring all my children here in the U S in all legal ways . I am very positive that you are happy where you are . I am sure you will not like what happening to our Country . Regards to everyone with there.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Vati. Crazy world right now. You would be relieved to be on the other side. Hey, the good news is you can now play a good game of chess with the Queen. Lizzy entered your side of the veil a couple days ago. I think you’d get along swimmingly. Say hi to all!

Happy birthday Hanne ! Thanks for the memories of 28 years .I don’t think you will be happy of what’s going on in our country . You are now at peace all the time but us here on Earth, we’ll lot of challenges.
One thing you will be very happy are All your grandchildren are doing very very good ☕️

Hanne , this is your 11 years that you are gone . I like to thank you for the memories of married for 28 years All my children & grandchildren are doing very good. Also your kids & grandchildren are doing so great too . I don’t think you will be happy of what happening in our country & the world. Lucky you are already resting with the Lord.

Happy birthday Hanee & it been ten years since you were gone & A lot of things had happened & I know you will never be happy of what’s happening to our country But I am very sure you will be happy about you great granddaughters & handsome Ben . They are doing great & so proud of them . Happy birthday again & have fun with the Beckers up there & I believe Adolf also joined the group .❤️

Happy birthday Hanne . I am very sure you are in a better place now than here in this crazy world . I am sure you are happy in the other side . Please say hello to everyone there from me & hope to see you in other side of the world too . Happy birthday & thanks for the memories.

Happy 94th, Vati. How is it in the other side? It’s crazy nuts here. We’ve got a crazy virus invading us, California is burning down......again, and the people of the USA hate each other. I’m
not EVEN going to touch the politics subject with you. Anyway, if you can survive as a German soldier in World War II and the Becker’s can survive all atrocities that came with WWII, the people of the United States can survive the bullshit that’s going on in the country you fled to all those years ago. You became a proud American and remained one until your dying day. You set the example. I am proud of my strong German heritage because of you. Say hi to everyone, especially mom. And try to remember us earthlings for just a moment during your heavenly “Kaffe Zeit”’, Love Deine Gaby

Remembering you always☕️on your birthday & thanks again for the memories especially at 3:00pm for your coffee hour! i also know you at peace with the lord & maybe having coffee with alHat-he BECKERS.Happy birthday Hanne.

It's been 8 years that you were gone & i am still greatful for the memories that i had with you . i thank you for those 28 yrs . of my life being married to you it was not perfect but it as not bad.THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. Also i don't see the grandkids & the kids & but i think the are ALL doing greatI am also doing great with my life now and very great to the LORD THAT ALL IS WELL WITH ME.

I am so sorry not to post any messages on the day that you passed away , we are in the middle of nowhere in the Atlantic Ocean . I will never forget the day you were gone & will not also forget you . I am very happy now in my life & very lucky to marry a wonderful man who love me very much too. God is so good to me .i know you are also happy with the Lord because you believe in Him too.

Liebe Vati, 7 years. Time flies! What’s it like on that side? Things have become a little crazy on this side, but you know.............we muddle through. Sophia is doing great. She is 16 now and will get her license in a couple of weeks. Straight “A” kid too. She opted to take a foreign language class at College of Marin in the fall because she didn’t enjoy the foreign language teacher at her high school. We told her she needed to handle this on her own and she did. She gets to drive herself. Thank goodness! I’m done with being chauffeur. Anyway, the household works hard as usual. No slouches live at this address. Everyone is healthy, although losing a few pounds couldn’t hurt, but then again EVERYONE seems to whistle that tune. John and I have a few more aches and pains, but otherwise, no excuses. His business is quite successful, by the way, but that’s what you get from a work-a-holic. Can’t deny the guy’s got business brains. I, on the other hand, do very well for myself. Work ethic is in our DNA. Anyway, have you run into Mom?  I’m sure you have. Say hello for me.  Think about us all when you all gather for the now heavenly “Kaffee und Kuchen” at 3pm everyday.  Do you keep time on that side? Anyway, thinking of you today. I’d still love to learn chess. One day. Hey, send us a sign. Will ya..... Love, Gaby

Happy Birthday Hanne .thsankd for the happy memories of 28 years ❤️

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Vati! You would have been 90 today. All is well on this side of the veil. Same old, same old. I have a feeling you already know that though. Say hello to all and we'll catch ya on the other side one day. Have a wonderful Kaffee Zeit today. - Deine Gaby

Happy Birthday ,Hanne ! I will never forget you . We were able to build memories for 28 years some are so good and some are not but most of all it was the life we had together . I do not have any regret that i had love you. You were a good man .everybody " loves you" . HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN"

Lieberman Vater,

It's been 4 years since you "crossed over to the other room".  You've got a lot people keeping you company now; Oma, Opa, Tante Christa, Uncle Peter, and most likely all the cats that were ever a part of our family. Hey, maybe even Opa's dog "Max". Oh, even your x-wife Helga.  I hope you're playing an eternal game of chess with Peter, that heavenly "Kaffee & Kuchen" is served everyday at 3pm sharp and that you exists in eternal peace. I know you are. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Deine, Gaby

Herzliche Glückwunsch, Vati. 88!  WOW! It was a good run for you here in the physical world, but I bet it's an even better run on the other side of that veil. Enjoy your chess again with your brother, Peter. He never played again after your left the physical world. He saved the next match for you. Until we meet again, Deine Gaby.

Dear Hans. It is that time of the year again....another birthday in heaven. I hope you are now celebrating with Peter and the rest of the gang. We miss you all down here. Someday as God calls us one by one we will all reunite again. As you had promised to your little brother, Peter, that you will watch over him from up there... He literally held on to that promise until he left earth to be united with you....

Happy Birthday , Hanne. Thanks for the memories.

Again ! Thanks for all the memories.you were a big part of my life .
Those chapters are good. Now I have a new chapter that is being created and God is so good to me to also find a very good man. I am so lucky . Praise God for that.Congratulation , the German won the FIFA , good game. I had trow flowers for you in the Seine River here in Rouen, Normandy . Every body is celebrating for you here in France for the Bastille day.

Vati,

DEUTSCHLAND WON! I can still hear you yelling "TOR"! 

Where have 3 years gone?  Life is good here on Earth. We work hard, earn our bread and roofs over our head and we raise your grandchildren to be decent, well mannered and responsible citizens. You liked it that way. Noth'n comes from noth'n…..right?  Anyway, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Say HI to mom. Regardless of circumstances, you two could still got in a good laugh together. Have fun playing chess again with Uncle Peter, your greatest chess mate, and give greeting to Tante Christa, Oma and Opa. Enjoy deine daily Kaffee zeit with everyone who is with you on the other side of that veil. Tschüss, Deine Gaby

I know that you are with The Lord and I know that you will always be in my heart. I am very happy now with my new life . Thanks for all the memories (28) years of it. May be you will coffee with ,Opa, Oma and Helga in heaven . HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNE.

Vati, I just checked the starter. Looks good. Life continues as usual in this dimension. Sophia is turning into a very beautiful, yet very normal, little girl and John enjoys his success in business. And me? Well I 'm just me. Nothing's changed. We continue being the best we can possibly be. See you again someday, on the other side. Peace.....

Hi Vati. We are thinking of you. We are all well.
Say hi to Oma, Opa and Tante Christa.
I'm still baking bread.

I miss you Onkel Hans! Your love of us and life continues to be felt amongst us :)

Happy Birthday, Vati! I still wish you could see the kids play Fussball. Katie's team got clobbered on Saturday (was kann Mann machen?), but Ben's team found victory (finally).

Hi Vati. Happy Birthday!!
I baked bread last weekend with your very own starter. It came out pretty good. Mom and Mate loved it. Although mom said I should try a little more salt next time. I will certainly be baking again.
I hope Oma and Tante Christa made you a pflaumanuchen mit schlagsahne.

Herzliche Gluckwunsch Zum Geburtztag, Vati. All is well down here in the mortal world. Some things have changed but change is a constant and as much as we fight it, it's good. Everyone is doing just fine. I think you'd be pleased. Keep up those chess games and bread making with Oma, Opa and Tante Christa in the afterworld.

Thank you for all the wonderful years we had together . You are always be a part of my life. It was very good and happy memories. Thanks again Hanne and Happy ,happy 86 birthday today. I know you are with the Lord . Right now just to let you know that I am happy with the new man in my life. You promised that you will always watch over me, I am in a good hand , Hanne

Wow! What a wonderful way to remember our loved ones. The last memory I have of uncle Hans was at our pool... I believe he had just turned 80. And of course Hans bread lives on in our home too when Tante Kawai kindly shares with us as I never learned the art. Hugs to all of you and thank you for the gift of this site to be thoughtful and grateful for life and love...

How time flies, Vati. One year ago today you took your last breath in this "side" and moved on over to the better side. I think about you all the time. I'm sure by now that the higher powers have had thorough lesson in Chess. Of course, you'll always be the master.  Say hello to everyone up there. Love, Gaby
PS: The Starter Lives (I'm writing a play titled this)

It is hard to believe that our Father has been gone a whole year. I'm sure, by now, all the angels in heaven have learned how to bake Hans Bread and Stollen - all under that good German tutelage - Vati, yours will, of course, always be the best. Sorry Tante Christa, but I know you understand. Have fun together.

Hanne , thanks for all the happy memories we had. I will never , never forget you. We were happy ,together then. I , am not alone now Hanne and I know you will like Bill , the new man in my life and he will take care of me. You are now with our Lord and I praise God for the time we we together .

Hanne, I love you very much and I missed you so much. thanks for all the memories that we have together. 27 yrs. was good and I hope that you are happy where ever you are. hope to see you again someday . you promised to always look over me and I believe it. love you Hanne.

Happy 85th Birthday Vati! All your grandchildren will be playing soccer today, which was your favorite sport. Very fitting isn't it?  I'm sure you'll be watching and cheering them on.  Enjoy your day with Oma, Opa and Tante Christa...

Uncle Hans was a very generous and sweet man. It was always a pleasure to see him and he was known for his big hugs!! A very kind and gentle person who is dearly missed.

I didnt know your dad but what I do know is he did a great job raising you .
What a beautiful tribute . Your dad danced to the beat of his own drum as do you .
May he now rest in peace for the coming of the Lord .

To my dear Hanne...Thank you for wonderful years together. I loved every minute of it. You are now reunited with Our Heavenly Father.. Hug Oma , Opa and Christa for me.. I miss you terribly Hanne... Love, Your Terry

Hans loved Jesus. You could see it in his face.His smile was infectious. The cookies he baked for hundreds of people over the years he served at Family Community Church were priceless. It was our great joy to baptize him at the ripe old age of 75 when he accepted Jesus as Savior.

What a beautiful and moving tribute to your father, Gabriela. I especially enjoyed the hearing aid video.

I am sorry that I never got a chance to meet him and hear his stories. God Bless him and you and your family.

Peter and I miss him so much. Every 3pm Peter will look at me and say..."I wish I could go to my brother's for coffee but he is no longer there". We may have lost him on earth but heaven gained an angel. He loved the Lord with all his heart. We love him too.

Thru good times & bad, Hans was a great father & did the best he could with what he had. Doesn't any parent? If only a parenting manual existed. HA! He would have NEVER conformed. My dad danced to the beat of his own drum. I proudly do the same because of him. Danke Vati..
