Rest in Peace Heinrich !. i did not know you, but the ranks are getting empty, so good luck on your next phase of your journey through eternity, Kamerad.
Each day i wake up, I am thankfull for another one; each day I also ask my self will this be the day ?
So what's left over is 'Carpe Diem" (pluck the day)
