Sr Marcia Baumert for Ed Baumert
West Point, NE Friday, March 4, 2011 Dear Doerneman family, I am writing on behalf of my dad, Ed. He just finished telling me of the friendship he and Marvin and Viola shared over the years. Beginning with their young years as classmates, Ed and Marvin also were hunting partners and as young men explored life! He recounted a time when Marvin, Viola and he were in Omaha where the guys went to a tractor workshop. Then there was something about a $5.00 bill and going out? Viola, I hope you remember that story with delight. It still brought Dad joy in the remembering! He is grateful for your friendship. Please know of our prayers and support. Sr. Marcia & Ed Baumert
