Sorry we did not make it to Maxines funeral. By the time we got out of the drs. office it was too late. We had lots of good time with Wally and Maxine, especially a trip we took with them up north. Our thoughts are with you. Hope you will still come out looking for mushrooms Patti.

Dear Florence and Fred--I remember your Mom as a kind, calm and compassionate person despite all the trouble Tom and I used to get into. I remember staying overnight many times at her house on Main St. I cannot attend the funeral please know my thoughts are with you.

My favorite memory of Grandma Bauer would have to be watching her make apple pie from the apples we picked, she just sat and chatted and next thing you knew there was a pie! I will always cherish that memory.
