Dr. Schweistris, I am sad to see that your beautiful Anneliese has passed away. I have such fond memories of her at Saint Joseph's. She had a wealth of knowledge, not only nursing, but of life in general. May she rest in peace. With love & prayers.

Mr. Eric, I am so sorry about the passing of Miss Anneliese. I am honored that I got the chance to meet her and that I took part in her care. She became my buddy. We laughed together and we prayed together before she went to bed. I am going to miss her laugh and her smile. I will be praying for you and your family during this difficult time. Love Adriane

Eric; I remember well our first meetings at our home at Montgomery on the Bluff. It was about 1980. Recently retired after 50 years of private practice, I look back on the beautiful days of medicine. How wonderful it has been for you to share your life with beautiful Analiese. Sylvia joins me in prayer

Erich, As I type this I have Anneliese's voice in my head saying your name, Erich. I always loved the way she said your name. To me it was so endearing. To you it probably varied depending on the situation. It's really hard to think I won’t get to see her again. She was so strong and German. I thought she would live to be at least 100. I am really happy I got to talk to her at our family's visit. Thank you and Anneliese for saying yes to my Mom. I am forever grateful for that and forever grateful that I had the privilege of eating Anneliese's stolen. I will miss looking forward to it. In my experience, there is no other stolen better than Anneliese's and I have spent time in Germany. love, little Celia.

Erich, Steve & I have adored you both since 2001 when we were privileged to rent you cottage before moving to Alaska. You both always remained 2 of our most special friends. We considered you our family. There are no words to describe how special Anneliese was to us. We admired her strength, intelligence & compassion! We both will remember her Kitchen talents forever. There is no one that we have ever met that could hold a candle to her. We are beyond grateful for both of you sharing your precious, well lived lives with us. Love, Wendy, Stephen & Cole Snyder

Ich bin dankbar, für das Familientreffen im April in Dillendorf, keiner hätte gedacht, dass es das letzte Treffen mit Anneliese sein würde. Es war so ein schöner Tag und diesen werde ich für immer in Erinnerung behalten. Erich wir sind in Gedanken bei Dir, auch wenn wir weit weg sind.

Dr.Schweistris and family, I am so saddened to hear of Anneliese’s passing. I met her many years ago at St.Joes when she was one of the nurse educators. We became closer friends when she would come to the infusion center. Every Christmas she would make sure to bake us nurses a Christstollen. She was a very special lady and a dear friend! She was loved and will be missed by many! My deepest condolences, Julie Hadden RN
