I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Tante Amelia will be missed very much. She was such a lovely person,and we all loved her. Please accept my deepest sympathy. 🙏
I remember the day Tante (Aunt) Amele arrived in the USA in 1956. I was 8 at the time. My parents taught me a few German phases, one of which I remember “war es schoen auf dem Schiff’ meaning “was it nice on the ship”, since that is how she came to the USA. We knew she was going to be the future bride of my Uncle Karl, who was living with us at the time. She was staying with my father’s cousin Rhea, who lived two doors away. Tante Amele would walk down to our house during the day and I proceeded to teach her English while walking her around the yard pointing to a tree, a bush, a flower etc. She got the point. We always joked about this and reminisced about this as recently as a few weeks ago. As life unfolded, she was always an important part of our lives. She welcomed my wife Nancy and our daughters Kristen, Elisa and Nicole. She never failed to ask about the girls and their families when I spoke with her. She had a wonderful sense of humor and memories her singing at parties, not to mention her cooking and baking will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Tante Amele !
Tante Amalia was a wonderful woman that we all loved dearly, she will be missed by all who met her, God Bless all of our cousins who are mourning her 💔 May she RIP ❤️
Pete, I’m so sorry to hear about your mom.. I remember you always talking about her and she seemed to be one of a kind. She is always with you. Prayers with you and your family, my friend.
So sorry to learn of your mother’s passing. She worked for my mother for many years and was loved by us all. I especially remember her cakes! My sympathy to you both, Barbara and Peter. MaryBush {Clement} Estabrook
As one of our mother’s, and our own, dearest friends, Amalia will always hold a special place in our hearts. She introduced herself to us shortly after we moved to Northford by ringing our doorbell and asking about our heritage. She recognized that our window curtains appeared to be European, and of course she needed to meet us. We say of course because that was the essence of Amalia. She embraced life with incredible optimism and joy. At any moment she might burst into song, and her presence at a party guaranteed memorable moments. She faced adversity and hardship with this same wonderful spirit that provided her with the courage and strength to overcome life’s challenges. Always there for her beloved family and friends, she extended support to all of us, even while facing her own issues. Her enduring love and zest for life are a beautiful legacy she leaves to us. Heaven is surely hosting a party for her arrival. Our sincerest condolences to you, Barbara, Peter and families.
