Ruth, Thomas' Mum
Just 6 weeks after her 80th birthday Thomas' mum passed away on 9. January 2016. Unfortunately the dementia and deterioration were bad the last two months, so we have to say, that it was better for her.
We miss her very much, she was a person who was always there for others. Gracious, generous and loveable. Her support was unlimited, no matter what.
