My dearest.
Here is my
second letter to you. I want to inform you Our dear
father and your brother Jossi, died on 13, October
1959. After the
funeral, I wrote a letter covering everything, six
months have passed and I haven’t received any answer
yet. I wonder about my letter if you received it or
did it get lost; I don’t believe you forgot about
the bereavement.
2. - Now I
will try a different way to write to you and hope
you will receive it. And if you don’t answer
it. – So, in God’s name, - I did my duty, wrote you
twice and notified that Jossi died. Very sad,
he had a hear attack during the night. It only took
a few minutes and I loved him so much. now I lost
Jossi. He was only 58, years old, he was only
10 month in pension and he still could be with us.
It is sad, we lost our good father, we are
heartbroken and we miss him.
3. - He was
lying in his dying bed so peaceful. He had a nice
big funeral, lots of flowers and wreaths. The people
were singing and escorted him to his peaceful place. I am
enclosing a small picture of him. That is the last
picture of him, you may keep it for a memory of him
and pray for his soul. I also held a High Mass at
his birthplace in Merzydorf, for Josef, Jakob and
Christina Unterweger, exactly on Jossi’s Birthday,
on 12th of April.
My parents
are still living. Father is 78 years old, mother is
74, years old, and they both are still healthy. But
since Jossi, passed away, they both are
broken-hearted.
4 - I
probably will get a small pension for Jossi, about
300 lei. Then I still have the garden. Now I know
what I have to do. My children are grown up; I
also have two lovely grandchildren. Two boys, Dieter
and Gerhard. They really loved their grandfather.
They go with me to the cemetery and water the
flowers on grandfather’s grave. I hope you will
answer me soon, not so you will forget it.
Hearty greetings to all of you.
Your
friend Irma.
Your dears
and the old ones.
