Barmen,

Dear mr Limbach!
Dearest Mrs Limbach!
As I was indisposed through illness I can only
now send you our deepest condolences on the terrible loss of your son.
Now you will also have to go through that dreadful time,
until your mind has come to rest a bit.
It won’t go away completely, and in these
difficult times you will remembered of it many times.
That was the case with us as we read the
announcement of your son’s death. Your dear son was our son’s best friend. We
have a lot to thank him for, by giving us such a wonderful and precious memento
of the grave of our son. We wish with all our hearts that other good comrades
will tell you the same good things about your son.
We will contact you in the next few days to
arrange a visit.
May God comfort you and help you through this
difficult time.
With my best wishes also to your children, I am
Your
Aug. Steigleder
and wife
