William Kachmaryk Extends His Condolences to the Family and Friends on the passing of a “Beautiful Couple”, Anne and Don Hancock who come to mind recalling Our St Cyril & Methodius Slovak Church softball days. I penned a tribute to Don and the realities of love that continue to grow in a marriage consumed by the years past and in an involuntary final separation.
Apparently, the “Essence of Eternal Love” forms an unbreakable bond in their marital invocation and relationship within their Family Unit in being together “Until Death Do Them Part”. My Tribute to Don preceded this one dedicated to Anne.
There are ways of rationalizing the occurrence of death which, myself, @ 88 years summons us all. But as the saying goes “Love is manifest in Life as a belief that creates the desired outcome focusing on intent that makes it happen using positive affirmations and visualizations that instills ”Love Conquers Us All”.
Appropriately set, the “Essence of Love” is the theme portrayed in Wagner’s, Tristan and Isolde, is the essence of an Irish love story between the two. The theme is called “Liebestod”.....from German depicted as “Love Death”, meaning the couple consummated their love in death or after death in one followed by the other. “God Bless Them Bot”. resting in peace, and the Ukrainian “Vichnayia Pamyiat” (Eternal Memory) is aptly suited to Anne and Don’s beautiful life together.
Forgive Me for this intrusion to Your Grief but the attached fitting tribute clip to the Essence of Love is captured in the following beautifully sincere 7 min 28 sec portrayal…..Liebestodt Waltraud Meier-National Theatre Munich (1998)-YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCm9q2Sjx18
English Lyric Translation is available on line for those inclined to pursue.
