Dear friends!

Two of our children passed away; namely, Emerentiana who was married to Peter Krenzel, son of Ludwig and our still unmarried son Raphael. Emerentiana had been sick in bed for three weeks and Raphael was sick for 10 months. Raphael was 24 years old.

We are greeting everyone.
Michael and Veronika Koch
