Luz
Jünemann

Lieber Herr Jünemann Ich habe Luz 2013 bei der Kur in Bad Dürkheim kennengelernt und es war eine schöne Zeit danach hatten wir leider nur noch per Mail und Telefon Kontaktaber ich habe mich über jedes Telekonat gefreut und konnte ihr auch bei verschiedenen Fragen helfen ich werde ihr immer ein liebevolles Andenken bewahren ihre Christa Kani

Let me start with the chapter from "Zuhause in Schwalbach" (At Home in Schwalbach). This is a moving and honest account of Luz's life in the Philippines, training as a nurse in England and then moving to German. It is noteworthy that it was the girls who were courageous and went overseas. Luz showed heaps of courage during her life and this helped her cope with challenges. None more so than battling with serious illness with the loving support of Berni, their adult children and the joy of the grandchildren as well as other members of the family and friends. One short sentence from the book describes Luz so well. Ich fühle und denke global. I feel and think globally. My friendship with Berni started in 1974/75 when I spent two semesters studying at Freiburg University. I was working in London in 1976 when Luz met Berni. I really enjoyed meeting her and later visiting Luz and Berni in Dusseldorf. Some years later I was living in Hamburg, which was far closer to Schwalbach than New Zealand. I really enjoyed my visits to Schwalbach and Luz was always so welcoming. The funeral service was beautiful and a moving tribute to Luz. I particularly enjoyed the stories that showed what a special person Luz was. May Luz rest in peace. Sylvie joins me in extended deepest sympathy to Berni and all the family. Best wishes Simon

Dear Berni I was so sad to hear from Simon that Luz has died. I send my sincere condolences to you and your family. Luz was always so warm and friendly and I have happy memories of some of our times together in London in the 1970s and in Germany in the 1990s. I had fully intended to attend the live stream of Luz’s funeral but was unable to make it. I will light a candle here in New Zealand for Luz and for you and your family. Much love to you all. Rest In peace, Luz. ❤️ Niki

Dear Luz, You are gone but your memories will always remain. Rest in Peace-

Cher Monsieur Junemann, Anne et Noël viennent de me joindre pour m'annoncer le départ de Luz et cette nouvelle me remplit le coeur de tristesse. Avec un grand respect et une profonde amitié, je vous adresse mes très sincères condoléances. J'unis mes prières à celles de toute votre famille pour que Luz vive désormais dans la beauté de la lumière et la paix. Qu'elle veille près de vous, chaque jour. Je garde précieusement une photo de Luz, toute souriante, prise en Bretagne, derrière une énorme parterre d'agapanthes bleues !

Luz was a wonderful person, wife, mother and friend. A passionate traveler and woman whose home was always open for friends from over the globe. She passed away too early, miss her very much.

To the Junemann Family , Our heartfelt sympathy . No words can describe how grateful we are unto the Lord for your sincere love and humble spirit towards us . Thank you for the memories we have shared with auntie Luz and with the whole family . Forever we treasure it in our hearts . Amidst the distance we remember you in our thoughts and prayers! We miss auntie Luz daily phone calls . We truly appreciate your kindness and generosity to my late father and to our whole family . Forever we will always remember . Thank you so much auntie Luz for the love you showed us and we love you even more ! We miss you !

We have been attending the very decent farewell via live stream this morning and we were overwhelmed by emotions – by deep sadness over the irreversible “good bye Luz” and by profound gratitude for the love you all gave to Luz in return for her lifelong loving care. We highly appreciated the recollection of your mom’s fulfilled life and we enjoyed the pictures that chronologically summarized the highlights of the same. Not to forget the short hilarious description of Luz’ amusing traits in the eulogy of Marita. The pictures of Luz on the left and right side of the pulpit were just beautiful. They emanated the bright light Luz always stood for. Nomen es omen and Luz at all times fully lived up to her name. Luz is light and this light will never be extinguished – neither in your memory nor in ours. Dear Luz, rest in peace!

Liebe Luz 😊, unsere langjährige liebevolle & offene engere Bekanntschaft hat sicher uns beide bereichert. Wir lernten uns in der Mutter-Kind-Kur in Sellin auf Rügen kennen & mögen . Mit unseren Kindern : Lisa, Anna-Lena & Tom-Lukas ist uns vor allem 1 Ausflug zu den Kreidefelsen in Erinnerung geblieben. Ich hatte das Auto dabei & noch 2 freie Plätze 😃. Wir fuhren 1 kl. Stück mit einer Fähre. Der Fährinhaber schaute kurz in‘s Auto und meinte dann : „ 4 Kinder ; 1 Erwachsener“ macht …. so und soviel. Ich wollte widersprechen. Ähh, hallo wir sind 2 Erwachsene & 3 Kinder. Du lächelste nur und sagtest leise zu mir : „ lass es, so sparen wir etwas“ Dieses witzige Erlebnis brachte uns den ganzen Ausflugstag über immer wieder zum Lachen. Über die Jahre hinweg erzählten wir uns von all den anstehenden Aufgaben, dem Aufwachsen /Ausbildung/ Studium‘s der Kinder Deiner großen Sorge um Berni bei der Brustkrebs-Diagnose &&& Bis hin zu deiner Krankheit, welche unausweichlich weiter schritt. Ich und wir 3 werden DICH liebe Luz immer in unserem ❤️ behalten. Dein Glaube (da sind/waren wir 2 uns sehr ähnlich) trägt, gibt Mut & Kraft & stützt in schweren Zeiten & nun darfst du beim Vater sein schmerzfrei und „einfach DU“. Es war eine große Freude & ein Segen DICH kennen zu dürfen ❣️ Unser herzlichstes Beileid & Mit-Trauer mit Berni , ihren Kindern & Enkelkindern. Elke mit Anna-Lena und Tom-Lukas

Lieber Berni und Kinder Wir werden LUZ immer in unserem Herzen bewahren und denken gerne an die Zeit in Schwalbach zurück, wo wir uns durch die verschiedensten Aktivitäten über unsere Kinder kennenlernten. EIN MENSCH GEHT, ABER DIE ERINNERUNG AN IHN BLEIBT ! Mit aufrichtiger Anteilnahme Brita und Georges

Dear Bernie and family, My deepest condolences and sympathy at your difficult time and sorrow. I will miss Luz very much! she is a very kind, friendly and very brave woman. I would not forget some unforgettable moments I had with Luz and you. When I came for a holiday with Cecil in your place in Germany, Luz and you took us to the place where our Phil. hero, Dr. Jose Rizal wrote his famous  book "Noli Mi Tangere"; and the university where he studied;  Luz and you in Hawaii and in Isle of Wight during the weddings of Rachel and Cynthia. Surely, I will miss Luz so much! May she rest in peace with our Lord in heaven, where she would not have pain anymore, no problems and worries but peace and contentment. Bless her and I  pray for her soul!

Merci Luz pour tous les moments d'échanges fraternels, ton accueil, ton sourire, lors des rencontres de jumelage Avrillé – Schwalbach. Berni, sois assuré de toute notre amitié. Nous partageons ta peine et t'adressons ainsi qu'à tes proches, nos très sincères condoléances. Ghislaine, Jean René.

Praying for your strength at this sad time. We will miss auntie so very much but will remember her strength and kindness always. May she rest in peace knowing how much she was loved by us all. Until we meet again auntie x

With sincere condolences to all the family. Luz was an exceptional person, kind and generous and always thinking of others before herself. We will miss her very much and it was a great pleasure to have known her. Friends from the time of her first visit to us when the airline managed to lose her luggage. As ever, she just got on with life without complaint. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. The Dale family

"Luz sagt, sie findet immer einen Parkplatz und tatsächlich – sie findet immer einen!". Dieser Satz ist mir in Erinnerung geblieben. Luz trug dieses große Vertrauen in sich, jederzeit einen Park – einen Platz zu finden und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Das Leben hat ihr ganz viele Parks und Plätze gezeigt, die sie besuchen durfte – in der Welt und in den Herzen anderer Menschen. Nun hat sie sich auf den Weg nach Hause begeben und ich bin mir sicher, dass sie auch dort einen wunderschönen Platz gefunden hat. So lebt sie in den Herzen aller Menschen, die ihr begegnet sind und geborgen in Gottes Armen. Lieber Bernie und Familie, Wir wünschen euch von ganzem Herzen viel Kraft & ganz viele tolle Erinnerungen. Luz würde sich wünschen, dass ihr lächelt und es euch gut geht. Sie war eine tolle Frau! Christine Franke mit Familie

The values that you and Luz have held close and have passed onto to your children clearly display the wonderful parental skills of Luz and yourself. Luz will be missed. Our sincere condolences.
