Liebe Agnes, I am extremely shocked and saddened to hear you have left us. It makes no sense. I have known you since you joined HRLC as an intern. At second hand, I have seen how much your union work has benefitted others. You were never keen to speak German here, but relented with me when preferring the ridiculous German word ‘Eichhörnchen’ for ‘squirrel’ which you found hard to pronounce! I send my deepest sympathies to your family, especially your mother in Italy. Bis bald, Agnes. Rosemary (McCabe, ex-HRLC, now SPIR)
