"From the left to the right: Paul Gies, Fritzie Frank-Markovits, Jan Gies, Miep Gies and Otto Frank. Basel, 1971" (Click on pictures for source)Yes, Miep Gies, the wonderful woman that helped the Frank family "survive" up until they were discovered in 1944... by bringing food, supplies, magazines, etc... has passed away today.
She was 100 years old.
Absolutely remarkable.
It is truly a blessing to live long and have blessed others in your life.
Survived by her son and three grandsons, all I can think of is: What a legacy.
Thank you, Miep, for having served as a kind reminder to humanity of what is important: To love each other as one loves thyself... and actually live and show that "brotherly" love, agape love.
May God bless your descendants, legacy, and of course, the sweet, kind memory of you!
With tears of gratitude, a girl that says thank you for helping Anne Frank and her family, and showing that unconditional, true love... thank you, God, for Miep. May she rejoice in your presence. :) Amen.
With all due respect and admiration, sincerely yours,
Carranza
