Sabine and Andreas, I am sad to hear about Ekles passing. Your mom and dad were a dear part of our lives over the years. Keep memories and thoughts of them and they will live forever in your hearts.

35 year's ago, when I moved to Grand Rapids from Darmstadt Elke became the Grand mom of my daughter Katharina in absence of my Mother Melanie in Germany who knew all of Elkes Family back in Germany. At that time a long lasting and still continuing friendship developed between our families.
As such, Elkes passing is also a great loss to my family.
May Elke rest in peace and sit on a nice cloud with her husband Butch who will likewise not be forgotten.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family. Butch was my high-school classmate and we lived across the street from Butch and Elke in the park for several years when we were all newly weds. Elke always greeted me with a hug and a smile eveyy time we would cross paths. She will be dearly missed by friends and family. RIP dear lady
