My name is Carmen Guenther and I am the daughter of Robert Guenther. Robert was Tabea's baby brother, and Tabea Klein,(also known as Tante Toby), was my aunt.
Tante Toby was always like a mother to me. She was there for me, many times, if I needed her.
I enjoyed her many visits with dad and us, as they were very close. My daughter Dana also has fond memories of her love and bright smile.
One of the many things I admired about Tante Toby was her loving nature towards us kids. She made sure that we were all fed and taken care of.
Her and Onkle Otto always opened their home to family and friends when they visited Winnipeg from Germany or B.C. Her cooking was some of the finest German dishes and delicacies. She volunteered at the German club, German Folklorama and Oktoberfest. Always staying in her German heritage.
Tante Toby owned investment properties when I was younger and one of my earliest memories is playing with both of my cousins, Bob and Manuela on the steps in one of her houses. I realized at a young age that I had a love of houses and she inspired me to become a realtor.
I will always remember my Tante, for her love, kindness, generosity and class.
I have to say, that Tante Toby motivated me to be confident, to always look my best, and to love family!
She will always own a piece of my heart.
