Hello! In December of 2009 I had to make a quick trip to Germany. The occasion was a sad one: the funeral of my mother, or--more accurately--the celebration of her moving on to a new life in heaven. The memorial service was marked by confidence in her eternal destiny. I did not take any pictures at the funeral, but there were plenty of other opportunities in the retirement community where my dad will continue to live. I also got some great views on my flight from Geneva to Dusseldorf, just crying out to become photographs.
