Rösli Flütsch (September 2, 1918 - June 5, 2008) practiced listening for God's guidance for many years, in fact until the last days of her life. This can also be called prayer, if one understands it as listening and talking to God. Perhaps, as she grew older, she devoted even more time to prayer than before. It was a source of spiritual renewal for her, a source of strength. Through prayer, she kept in touch with her relatives, but also with many friends who lived far away. She had a real interest in people and was concerned about them. This is the secret of the friendship she experienced and which filled her life.

This did not prevent her from being very direct at times with her friends. She was particularly concerned about genuine honesty about herself and others. She would never pretend to others or to herself. With her, one always knew where one stood and no one was forced to practice the painful art of pretending! (Taken from the church minister's words at her funeral.)
