Petra Augstein — 9 November 2023

Lieber Rainer, ich kann nicht glauben, dass Du nicht mehr da bist. Du bist ein Teil von unserem Leben. Wir werden nie vergessen, wie grozgig Du uns vor 25 Jahren geholfen hast. Du bist eine groartige Seele, ein bedingungsloser Freund und warmherziger Mensch. Du bleibst lebendig in unseren Herzen. Ich vermisse Dich sehr. Ruhe ich Frieden lieber Freund.Dear Robyn, dear Carli and dear Alric! We are so sorry for your loss. We were in shock and could not believe that Rainer is gone so quick. He was a part of our life. He was a rock and supportive in difficult times. He gave love to all the friends of his kids and had an open heart. Rainer was friendly and had a straight forward way of helping people. I can still see him inviting us to share a picknick with his beloved family. After this we became friends for a life. Dear Rainer, by this you made us one of the biggest presents in our life. Thank you for inviting us to your house so many times. Dear Robyn, dear Carli and dear Alric, thank you very much for taking care of Rainer with respect and love. We are grateful for the time we had with him. We wish you strength for the coming time and are with you in our thoughts.Rainer will stay alive in our hearts. Your Petra with Frank, Ellen, Kirsten, Paul and Carl
