Susan Veronica Serkin was the granddaughter of the violinist and composer Adolf Busch, Susan Veronica's "crib death" was less than two months after the death of Adolf's wife Frieda from lymphatic cancer. Adolf wrote to Frieda's brother Otto Grueters, "It is difficult to believe in the 'good Father above the starry tent.'"

The baby's father, the pianist Ruldof Serking, wrote to his sister Amalie, "It is so infinitely difficult to grasp or comprehend...it hurts so badly...Irene and I are making an effort--big effort--to keep the children from noticing how we really feel."
