Farewell Erna dearest

Thou motherly presence for us chronobiologists,
Thou untiring and unrelenting driving spirit of the
Chronobiology Laboratories of Minneapolis,
Thou deep-knowledged of the experimental problems
and indispensible bestower of invaluable suggestions,
Thou unparalleled in the handling of your tiny four- legged friends,
Thou unique moderator of disagreements
inside and outside of the laboratory,
Thou always present, always active...
above all a gentle friend and confident
we will miss you but
shall always cherish you in our hearts
just as we have done all these years.

Farewell dearest Erna, farewell
