Art, Susan and family,
We were so very sorry to hear the news of Sieglinde’s passing. I had the pleasure of running into her at Perkins in March of 2016 after many years and we just picked up where we left off. She was a lovely person and we both loved her very much. We used to live next door to Arnold and Sieglinde’s (93-98) and we enjoyed them so much. We loved hearing their stories from the old country, were the benefactors of their amazing produce from the garden and spoiled many times by Sieglinde’s baking and cooking. And Arnold would often give Maggie tips on how to fertilize the yard and start the lawnmower! lol. We think of them often.
