Reinhard Freese

Dear Dave and Jackie,
First of all let me introduce myself. I am a son of Peter and Gerda Freese from Jubek in Germany. On behalf of my mohter I would like to answer your letter from May 20. This is bad news, my father died on May 11 after having a series of strokes since beginning of March. The first time he recovered pretty good and they let him go home. But after two more weeks it became worse and he had to go back to hospital. His health state turned worse quickly. At the end there was no hope anymore and for us it was hard to understand how life can change from being so vivid to sudden sickness. At least it was given to him he could celebrate his 80th birday in March with his family. So my mother, my sister and brother and I have to learn to live with this unexpected situation.
My Mother thanks you very much for the invitation. Immediately when she got your letter she wanted to come to the States to Join your party. If so, I would like to accompany her. But she has to consider this will be a long trip to go. She is almost 81 years old now! Anyway, thank you so much. We will let you know if we can make it.
Many greetings from across the Atlantic!
