Heaven has just been enriched, whereas a little corner of the mortal enclave suffers its loss.....Mary Imbemba, accompanied by her hubby Bill and wonderful sons, have singularly stamped their presence' as well as their profound "freundlichkeit" on oh so many souls, certainly mine/ours. Whereas unfortunately time, geography and other concerns prohibited a more complete lifelong interaction, isn't it a marvel that despite these challenges, Aunt Mary's memory transcends all of these peculiarities.... Aunt Mary represents the arrested moments, the suspended calendar, the frozen seasons of life. Incubation periods for reflecting upon her life and absorbing the experiences she represented, largely projected the historical goals and fantasies of tomorrow. Her spirit comes gently in quiet moments of loneliness and solitude. What a profoundly marvelous woman.... Our sympathy...the tranquility she represented to me...refreshes, and the tears of the mind wash the shores of the soul.
