    Dear Vinci and Barbara,
    In silent memory and deep grief, we say goodbye to our sister and aunt. Even if we separated a large distance, we were always in contact and always very close. We will never forget how much your mother helped us in the difficult times during and after the war. Berta will always remain in deep gratitude in our memories until we see each other again.
    We know it is for you and also for us a time of grief and the memories of your mother, our sister and aunt will accompany us for a long time.
    We love you

    Anna, Leni, Maxi, Christ
