von Mary Hillegas (Minnesota, USA)
My deep condolences to Sabine, Dirk, and Gunnar on the loss of your wonderful father. I am forever grateful for all the amazing Fratzke family history that he shared with me – important stories and pictures that had been lost for many years among the Fratzke descendants in the USA. I treasure my fond memories of the tours he gave me of the Fratzke homeland as well as many other sites all over Germany. Most of all, I will always cherish, and will deeply miss, the special friendship we developed over the last 13 years. He was a very special man. I loved him, I will miss him, but my love will continue to all of you. I send my deep sympathies to each of you. God bless.
