  • Dear Helga and family, My heartfelt condolences on Eugene’s passing. Thinking of you all as you prepare to celebrate his life and journey in navigating this profound loss. I have a favorite poem about a father’s love which I would like to share as death ends a life but not a relationship, those we loved live on in our hearts. A Father's Love Endures by M.E. Miro I have seen strength, like an oak in the storm... I have felt gentleness, like a golden summer dawn... I have heard laughter, like a splashing waterfall... I have felt protection, like a shelter all around... All from a life that gave me life... All from my father's love. Hugs to all Cindy Nachtigall and family - Posted by: Cindy Nachtigall (Family) on: Jun 09, 2025
