  3. Tammy and Doug. I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. She was a great woman and raised her kids well! I know we’ve all gone our separate ways since school and have lost touch, but I’ve never forgotten when my grandma Maude told me the story of how your family was related to us via the Bohr side. It was strange to hear you and your mom call her Great (Great) Aunt Maude. But it was fun to have cousins living close by. Hugs to you and your families. Donna Stahl Reihman

  4. Tammy,
    I’m so sorry for your loss. Boy what fun times we had with your Mom and Dad on trips. We always wanted to sit in the back of the bus and raise a “little” cain. We always had so much fun with them and your Dad always had a story to tell, kept us all laughing. Your Mom is your best friend, always, hold her precious memories close and smile when you think of her. She would like that…..
    My sympathy and hugs,
    Annamae Baker

    • Thank you, Annamae. I will always cherish the many bus trips that I took with all of you on the 🚌, also. We sure saw a lot of country and made a lot of special friends! Am missing my mom terribly.
