Ursula

   She wanted to be home. She wanted to move on. Today her wish came true as she drew her last breath in her bed in her home. She had a long and very active life dating back to,1921. She will be missed. I was blessed to be at her side in Hannover. May she rest peacefully now.
Ursula is the little one on the left beside her mother Gertrud and her big sister, Marianne, my mother. I assume the photo dates back to about 1923 when Ursula would have been two.

Love the old photo. It is sad that the end comes to all of us but our vibrant past must live on through stories. I hope Ursula wrote her stories.

Ursula must have lived a long and wonderful life... My Mom lived for 91 years before she died in 1991.... When did your Mom die? I know how much Ursula meant to you and I'm glad you were with her when she died..... God's Blessings on YOU.

Hugs,
Betsy
