Dear Buhler Family,
I don't know you at all, but I was married to Tim Wiegel who went to school with Gunther. I was recently in contact with Vinay who also went to school with Tim and Gunther. I don't know if the guys were friends or not but when I heard about Gunther I had to reach out and tell you my thought and prayers are with you. On Feb 25, 2007 I lost Tim to Lung Cancer for no damn reason. He was also too young and left behind me and his 2 young daughters. I know we don't know each other but being a widow with 2 young kids, I found that talking to someone else in similar situation helps. So please feel free to contact me if you need to scream, yell or cry.
All my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dawn
