In Loving Memory of
Chris Baumann
Dec. 25, 1953 - Dec. 28, 2020
Happy Birthday, Dearie!
On what would have been your 72nd birthday. The fifth birthday I can't celebrate with you in 49 years – it will be another very difficult day. Christmas is not the same without my best friend by my side, it really hasn't gotten any easier living without you. I always thought we'd grow old together. I hope you celebrate with Mom, Dad, John, Grandma Baumann, your uncles, and friends who went before you. Please watch over me until we can be together again. I miss you so much!
I love you always and forever,
Jan
