Dear Professor Eibl,
I knew your husband and you since I was 25 years old. You were my doctoral mother and I subsequently had the honor and pleasure of being involved with you in the establishment of the Biomedizinische Forschungs-GmbH. You have also always been a mentor and role model for me. I learned scientific work and critical thinking from you. I have particularly fond memories of your and your husband's participation in my wedding to my wife Susanne in 1999. Even after our professional paths parted, we always kept in touch, be it through birth announcements of my children, participation in Christmas parties, birthday greetings and occasional exchanges of views. I will miss you and Vienna and Austria will miss you as a great person and as a great researcher. To your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren I extend all my sympathy. In great sorrow,
Dr. Martin Spatz, MBA
