Ulrike, ich hätte dich so gerne noch einmal getroffen..unsere Begegnung vor 30 Jahren hat mich sehr beeindruckt. Du warst bei meinem Vater/deinem Cousin auf Besuch. In klaren Worten, auf wohlwollende und stärkende Art hast du mir erklärt, wie ich als Tierärztin etwas besser machen kann. Du hast mir nicht nur Fakten gegeben, sondern den Mut und die Klarheit dazu. Direkt und ohne Umschweife, von Herz zu Herz war unsere Kommunikation. Danke für alles!
So sorry to hear that. I didn’t have to o much time to share with her, but for the short one that I did I could enjoy her company and her beautiful soul. She was indeed a very kind and special person.
My condolences to her husband and family.Was ein Mensch an Gutem in die Welt hinaus gibt, geht nicht verloren.
In Liebe Deine Cousine Christa mit
Gerhard. Wir werden dich sehr vermissen.My condolences to Graham and family for your loss. Ulrike was an integral part of the community and will be greatly missed.
I am so sorry to hear that Ulrike has lost her battle, but very glad to hear she was able to pass peacefully and with dignity, and knowing that she lived her best life. She was a wonderful vet, compassionate, skilled, and we had lots of good laughs over the years. Condolences to Graham, and her family. She will be missed.
Ulrike was an inspiration as a person and as a vet. Her dedication to animals was magnificent. She will be very missed by the human world and the animal world. God bless a beautiful person. Your legacy will live on forever.
After working with Ulrike since the early ’80’s I find it hard to believe that “The Gods” and fate could be so cruel as to take this wonderful person from us at so young an age. Of all peoples, she and Graham deserved a long and happy retirement .
My life was changed when I met her and is immeasurably changed by her absence.
Rest in peace with my gratitude.We think of you as a very warm-hearted woman, and we will be close in our thoughts.
