I was a student of Bobbi Brammer's when she taught at Bruce Middle School. She was a very motivating and inspiring teacher - someone who made her students believe that their goals were attainable. I kept in touch with her on and off over the years, but had not seen her recently. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Roberta Brammer was my chaperone many years ago when i went to germany with a bunch of waggner class mates, she let us do whatever 16-17 year old females wanted to do, it's no wonder we came back in one piece, back then i thought she was cool to have let us do all that stuff. but we were just lucky, overall i coulkd say now i had the best time in my life there, memories i would never forget.

Ms. Brammer was my eighth grade social studies teacher MANY years ago. I had the privilege of keeping in touch with her through my high school and college years. As a child of working class parents, I was honored to have Ms. Brammer as a mentor. My regret is that I was not able to be as helpful to her as she was to me during the painful, difficult parts of life. She will always hold a special place in my heart.
