  May I add my condolences to the Sohnchen family, and also the surviving Ikert family. As others have said, she was a lovely, friendly, caregiving lady, and I was lucky enough to be invited into she and Ernst's home on several occasions.
  
  I know that you will miss her. The lovely thing is that we will meet again in heaven.

  We have fond recollections of warm hospitality, and good conversation in the Sohnchen home. No one can replace such a gracious hostess. She will be missed, but only for awhile. We know that Christ's constant presence will give each of you Special Comfort at this time.
  
  Hugs to all.

  "To be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." What a hope we have in our Savior. May the peace of God carry you through this time, and may you feel His loving arms of comfort wrapped around you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
