I am sorry for the loss of such a special person. I will always remember her as a dedicated loving Mom to Chris. She worked hard to better herself through education which enabled her to provide better for her son and to do what she enjoyed … helping others. She has left us too soon and will be missed.
My prayers go out to Petra’s family. I worked with her during my residency training. She was an asset to the clinic, program and our patients. Personally, I got to know her and she always made me smile. She encouraged me to run my first 5K. Good memories – she will be missed.
Our deepest sympathy at this time go out to Chris, Oma, Jordan, and the rest of the family. We have many good memories of Petra and her kindness towards others.
My deep sympathy to all in Petra’s family. I will always remember her as a positive energetic young nurse, always making us laugh during stressful times
Petra starb viel zu jung! Wir sind alle tief erschüttert! Möge sie in Frieden ruhen!
