The news of your father’s death deeply saddened us! We are very sorry to hear about his passing.
Horst was such a great person and will always have a place in our heart.
Those we love can never be more than a thought away. For as long as there is memory, they will live forever.
Please accept our deepest sympathies.

As much as it pains me that him and oma are gone and didn’t get to meet their great great grandson; I know in my heart that they are dancing together and watching over us. I love you both so very much and wish I had been better at showing it.
I was saddened to read that your husband, dad and granddad has died. I am wondering if this is the Horst that came to work on my families sheep farm in Australia in 1953. We did not keep in touch with him after he left and would love to know more about his life after he moved on. He was a lovely man and I remember him just in bits and pieces because I was only about 6 years old when he was on our farm. Love and my sympathy to your family. My dads name was Walter Linke.
