To Dean and Kandice Anderson,
We are Amelia Baumgarten's grandparents, retired and living in Ames, Iowa.
We have happy memories of your son Brandon.
We knew him as Amelia's escort for her Jr. Sr. Prom. Their photo is in our
family album 2006.
He most recently joined us on a family outing in August at an Iowa Cubs game.
We found him to be a delightful and polite young man.
We extend our deepest sympathy. Martha and Joseph Baumgarten, Sr.

May the Lord hold you in the Palm of His Hand as you suffer this loss we here on earth can't understand. But know that Brandon is celebrating his New Life and I imagine Jerry has him on the At Ease IV Ever showing him the wonders of Heaven!
