Pam, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember attending your wedding, a very happy occasion. I enjoyed seeing you and Bernie at class reunions and at Marcia's and Anthony's wedding. When you, Bernie, and your children would foster/raise puppies to become service dogs, that brought great joy to my heart. You and Bernie had a wonderful partnership in life filled with love. You and Bernie created a beautiful family. Praying your positive happy memories will guide you in the days ahead. Love you, Pam! :heart:

Pam and family, I was so surprised and saddened to read Bernie's obituary. He was such a friendly, positive person and always so supportive of Extension and the 4-H program. My heart aches for you. Say his name every day and remind his grandchildren how much he loved them. Pam Hess Baker

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Nick. Sincerely, Lutheran Rehab Co-Workers/Friends
