My Mom Passed

Walter Stettner · Post by **Walter Stettner** » 28 Nov 2021 9:28 pm

I am writing with heavy heart that my Mom passed away yesterday after a long illness with multiple health issues that she fought so bravely. She loved music in general and the Steel Guitar in particular. She often sat down and listened to me practice, her personal all time favorite player was Papa John Hughey. When calling her cell, she heard John's solo on Conway's "Rolling In My Sweet Baby's Arms".

I miss her tremendously and will do so for the rest of my life.

Thanks for always being there, Mom!

Walter Stettner
Vienna, Austria

Mein herzliches Beileid, Walter
My mother too and my cat too, whom both liked to listen to me playing, both are gone now.
I miss them everyday.

Ein Schönes trost lied.

Im Himmel, dort sind nicht mehr Thränen
Nicht Müdigkeit, Trübsal und Schmerz
Nicht Herzensgebrechen noch Bluten
Kein klagendes, seufzendes Herz
Die Wölken, die hier oft so dunkel
Erscheinen im Himmel nicht mehr
Von himmlischem Glanze und Funkel
Ist alles so glänzend und hell.

Chorus:
Jerusalem droben du, schöne
Ich bin auf den Wege dahin
Wo singende Schar'n der Erlösten
Die himmlischen Auen durchziehn
Ein Heimweh nach Salem erfasst mich
Zu der Heimat, die Gott mir erbaut
Wie wird es geschehen, wenn Jesus wir seh'n
In der herrlicher himmlischer Stadt.

Im Himmel darf niemand bezahlen
Denn alles dort oben ist Frei
Die Kleider dort nicht mehr veralten
Stets fleckenlos glänzend und rein
Wir werden nicht hungern noch dürsten
Noch seufzen in Armuth und Noth
Stets reichlich van Gütern des Himmels
Geniessen dort oben bei Gott.

Kein Trauernband hängt an dem Türen
Kein Leichenzug dort sich bewegt
Kein Friedhof auf himmlischen Hügeln
Kein Liebling ins Grab wird gelegt
Die Alten, in ewiger Jugend
Verwandelt im Augenblick schnell
In übernatürlichem Glanze
So frisch und so glänzend und hell.

I pray for you and your family in the days ahead.
