Hey Nana,

The date of you leaving us is coming up. You have 5 great grandchildren that you would absolutely LOVE. Boy this one here, reminds me so much of you. His stubbornness, his spunk, all of it. I know you took care of all of these babies until they made it Earthside to us. Keep watching over all of us and we hope you are making you proud. Give Uncle Hans and Poppa a hug and kiss. I love you. 

-Whitney ❤️

Missing the leader of this pack.  Your silent strength was second to none.  You are missed every single day mom.  Knowing you are with Dad, Hans and all our other loved ones gives me peace until we are all together again. 

I love you.

Nana,

I wish I had more to say, but maybe one day the words will come. 

Thank you! Thank you for being the best Nana a girl could ask for! I’ll missing hearing you say “Oh Vitney” or the way you would always sneak us money when we would come visit you, but most of all I’m so thankful that I got to talk to you one last time to tell you that I love you. Give Poppa and Uncle Hans the biggest hug for me. “It’s not goodbye, it’s simply see you later.”

I love you more than you know,
Whitney

Mom

    I still have no words to express the loss I feel. I’m sorry to have missed seeing you every day but have the best memories of when we were all together. 
    Hug dad and Hans for me. 

Love you always
Heidi

Nana,
    I thought if I gave myself time Id have the words to put down, but I see now that there will never be enough time to come up with all the words. You were our rock and our humor. You always had a joke or something clever to say. You made it much longer than any of us would have, had we lived your life. Your strength thru the struggles allowed for the lives we live today. Your legacy will continue on thru us. We love you, and miss you terribly. Thank you for your strength.

I will always have such great memories of your mom watching one football game while listening to another on the radio.  Her amazing grill cheese sandwiches served on the flat trays.  Her purple cabbage and the lentils.  And who can forget the way she would say, Oh Dina!  You are so fortunate to have experienced the unconditional love of such a magnificent woman.   

"If I had a flower for each time I thought of you, I would walk in the garden forever"

Words cannot express how sad I am that you are gone, nor can words express how glad I am that God gave me you for a Mom. Safe travels; rest in Peace

Thank you for all you gave

Dave and I send our condolences. Your mom was very sweet, and I enjoyed her story's. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Whitney & Family, we are so saddened for your loss. But we have faith in knowing the joyous homecoming that she experienced. We each love you and wrap you  guys in warmth during this difficult time. -The Hendrix family! 

Dear Virginia and family. I’m so sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful woman in and out. Sending prayers your way and a big hug and kiss for everyone. Love you. Jimmy and irma

We were so sorry to hear about Nana’s passing. I had the good fortune of meeting her when Amanda and Hans found each other, as well as fond memories of Walter Sr. , and the house in Melrose Park where they raised their wonderful family. We all spent many, many Holidays together! Nana was always a welcoming, smiling face, and when Marcia and I got together, she was the first person Marcia would look for at any gathering. Marcia said many times that she lit up the room, and no Holiday meal was complete without her red cabbage! We are sure that she was greeted with the strong arms of Walter and Hans, and the rest of her loved ones! God Bless Her, and her Beautiful family. Our prayers and Love ❤️ are with you. She will be sorely missed.....

Karin & Family,
  So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.  
Thinking of you,
Dale & Linda

I’m so sorry for your loss.  I’ll always remember Mrs. Hollmann  serving German food on those cool ‘flat trays’.  She was so tolerant of us goofy teenage girls. She and Mr. Hollmann raised caring, kind, funny and loving kids.  Hanging at the Hollmann house was always like home.  I wish you all love and peace.
Sheila

My deepest condolences for your family's loss  She raised a beautiful strong loving family. And that will always be her legacy.  I believe she is with her Walter,  Hans and all her waiting loved ones. Of course she will be deeply missed but I pray that your memories will bring your family peace.  
Sending  love and hugs. xoxo

I feel so lucky to have shared so many holidays, birthdays and milestones with Nana and your family.  She was so great to talk to and I loved her quick wit but I think the thing I will always remember was when she agreed to allow my daughter to interview her about her life during WWII.  She shared all of the trials, hardship and love that her family went through.  She was certainly one amazing woman!  Eternal rest grant unto Elizabeth Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her may her soul and may the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God Rest In Peace.  Amen

We are so sad. You were like a mom to me, uncle Walter like a dad and Hans like my brother.
Someday we all will see each other again... love Petra and Rolf.

May your memories and all the love you shared with your mom help you through this difficult time.


My angel. Always there with never ending love, compassion, guidance and a strength that nobody can compare to. We are  so very blessed to have you as our mother. Honestly, there are not enough words I can say to express how much love and admiration I have for you.  You are the epitome of what a mother should be. I pray that I am half of what you are to me to my own children. I have told you this many times while you were amongst us. Thank you mom for everything. Until we are together again. ❤️
