John and family,
I just heard the news from my dad. I started to cry right away. I am so sad. She was sooooo nice and sweet and was the type of person that when she talked to you, she made you feel so loved and special. I will miss seeing her during deer hunting and will never forget the pool parties back in the day. I always admired everything about her. She was so special. John if their is anything you need please let me know. Love always, Heather Baumann

We were so sorry to hear of the loss of this most amazing, passionate woman who was so full of life. I will never forget the first year I played softball with her. I distinctly remember sitting on the bench with her at the complex in Waukesha, drinking beer out of a plastic cup... I was in awe of her youthfulness and love of life! You are all in our thoughts and prayers as you navigate through these difficult times.
