Tante Brigitte


Quintin and my sweet Aunt (Tante) Brigitte passed away today after having a painful last few years with arthritis and fibromaligia. She was a sweet little German woman that loved her family, animals and life in general. From what Quintin has told me of her before she got so sick, she was a real go getter that got things done and got them done right. She would always speak her mind and laugh loudly with her mouth wide open (no wonder I identified with her so much). She loved Rick and Rick loved her right back. She was an amazing woman and a wonderful example to me. I will hold her dear until I see her and laugh loudly with her again.

Whenever we went to see her Rick would go straight to her lap and
stay there for the visit. She lived with Quintin's mom Ursula and their
other sister Christa.

What a cute little lady. I'm sorry she is gone but I'm sure she is happy she is free from her tired body.

I'm so glad you have those pictures. I wish that we had gotten pictures of the three sisters together.
Did you know that they only had one picture of the three of them? It was taken several years ago.
