I was very fortunate to meet Gisela at my mother's home a few weeks ago. She (Darlene) and Gisela were friends and she spoke fondly of her quite often. After meeting her I could understand why. She was so engaging, so full of life. It made me want to know her better.
ReplyDeleteI was very sad to hear of her passing. My mother is grieving, having lost a good friend whom she considered a kindred spirit in a place where they are so hard to find.
I offer my heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones. She was a remarkable woman.
