Hi julle 3 Susters, vandag teruggekom en hoop ek gaan dit namens die familie kan maak. Wat Lodie vir ons en veral vir Mart-Mari beteken het, kan nie in woorde gesê word nie. Het 2 jaar gelede vir hom kersie aangesteek in Oberndorf se kerkie, hierdie vakansie in Oberammergau se katedraal inskrywing in die groot boek gemaak….. Mart-Mari sit ver, werk tussen NZ en Australië, maar sy het die voorreg gehad om nog April vir hom by sy huis te gaan kuier. Tot weersiens Lodie, ons harte is baie seer. Dink aan julle 3 met groot liefde.
Bernd and Patricia are so very sad to hear of Lodie´s last farewell, but we are also gratefull to have known him as he came to the Tesch Travel Treffen for Motorcycle World Travellers in Malmedy 3 years ago. We have known him as a very very gentle person and have been amazed at how he, even in his hardest time during his illness, have been able to inspire soooo many people. THANK you LODIE for having been you and for all you have given. In spirit we will be with you all on the 10th of January to celebrate his life. Much love from Bernd and Patricia Tesch in Germany
