<div dir="ltr">Between sharing with you Harris' first email about Hedi's condition earlier this morning to hearing of her passing at about 11:30 I had a quick trip to Richmond to speak with a music friend. We spoke of many things, including, as it happens, the concert of music by Hedi's father <font color="#000000">Richard Stöhr</font> that will happen on February 18 at St. Michael's College. Hedi had a major role in making that concert happen. <div><br></div><div>Much of Hedi's life was dedicated to listening carefully, whether to music or anything else of significance, and sharing what she heard. That was her gift to us.<div><br></div><div> </div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jan 27, 2018 at 9:23 AM, HARRIS WEBSTER <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hewebster@comcast.net" target="_blank">hewebster@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>
<div>Dear Choir, I am very sorry to have to report that Hedi died last night at 2:00 AM. I heard from and talked to Karin here daughter this morning. According to Karen all the stress from the falls together along with a weak heart, liver, and kidneys was too much. In the morning<br>I had had a good conversation with her. She told me I had to buy a card for you all to sign and instructed me to also tell not to send her individual cards because she didn't want to have to answer them all. She then appeared her old self saying she would work hard to get better.<br>I won't forget that she also said to the nurse that I was her best friend. We all will miss her for too many things for me to mention . Harris<br><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="h5">

<div><p style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Hi Dick, I saw Hedi this morning and heard the doctor a bit. Earlier I had heard she has pain from damaged muscles and nerves, but no signs of pneumonia. She is on a lot of medication for that pain, but took herself off one drug which made her "crazy." The doctor said she would need to go to rehab and it would be a slow recovery even with physical therapy. Hedi said she preferred Berlin Rehab. I saw her tonight and she was very confused and looked weak. Karin, her daughter, called me a few minutes ago and had been at the hospital just a little after I was. She told me Hedi had been moved to the ICU just after I had visited her with the possible diagnosis" (Katin's words) of pneumonia. Feel free to pass this info to others in the choir. Harris</p><p style="font-size:12pt;font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">PS Thursday night she was sleeping so I didn't speak to her. Earlier, this morning, I told her many from the choir specifically spoke to me and sent their love and I could see all members felt that way as I was making the announcement. </p></div>
