  3. Heidi, We are so very sorry to hear about your Mom. Your Mom was such a sweet lady. The Haug family sends their love and condolences.

  4. So sad to hear of Frau Wilson’s passing. I took three years of her German classes at Erwin and she was always nice and interesting, with her stories of growing up in Germany, sometimes bringing her accordion to play for the class, and being tolerant to students who were less serious than they should have been. Love and peace to her family and friends.

  5. Dear Heidi, you and all the family are in our prayers. We loved Anni. She was one of best! She was family and a friend to me for many years. I will never forget our late night talks. I can still hear that sweet laugh and see that beautiful smile. I know she was a wonderful Mother to you and Christina but she stepped in to be there for Inge’s family too when she went home to Heaven. She was a doting daughter to Oma and Opa. Basically, Anni was just an all around great person. I just regret I didn’t get to spend more time with her. Heaven gained another angel.

    We love you Heidi,

  6. Mrs. Wilson was one of my favorite teachers at Erwin! She is and will continue to be warmly thought of especially as I make my trips to the German countries in Europe. She will forever have a place in my heart!

    My condolences to you, Heidi, and your family!

  7. Dearest Frau Wilson, You made the German language and culture exciting and meaningful. I loved your class. I loved your spirit. I loved traveling with you. Eins Zwei G’Suffa!!! The memory of being at the Hofbrau Haus in Munich and raising a class with you is such a dear memory to me. Celebrating your beautiful impression on my life always. <3

  8. Sorry to hear about your family’s loss. She was a remarkable German teacher and had a lot to offer everyone. She just didn’t teach German she taught life lessons. She will greatly be missed. Sending Prayers.
