Jim and all the Bach family, we are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers go out to you.
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you,you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home,You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, THE CHAIN will link again.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond shimmering on the snow.
I am the sunlighton ripend grain;
When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

Loving thoughts smiles and memories to a great "Gumba".
Always,
Stacy Reimer

My condolences to the family. I remember Mrs. Bach when she visited with Mary Ann and Steve Durand on Columbus.

Jane used to watch myself and my brothers when we were very young and lived at 227 Columbus. Then we moved to 244 Columbus.
