I was saddened to hear of Ursula's passing. We both belonged to Kansas Authors Club. I did not know her well but admired what she'd done with her writing. As part of an award I won at KAC in 2013, I was given the choice of any book in the Book Room at that year's convention. I selected My German Christmas and was so pleased that I had chosen it after reading from start to finish. What a perfect picture it gave the reader of a young girl in Germany and Christmas traditions. When Ursula sent the book to me, she also sent a note saying how thrilled she was that I had selected her book. But it was me who got the best end--getting to read it. My sympathiy to all family.
