More Sadness to Report

We learned of the passing of Bob Langford on December 9, 2010, in Cape Coral Florida; we haven't been able to learn any other details.

Then on February 27, 2011, we received the following e-mail from Anke Wamser's brother:
"Dear Classmates of Anke,
It is with deep sorrow that I am advising you of the death of my sister, Anke Maren Thea (Wamser) Jachmann. Anke passed away on February 16, 2011 in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She suffered a massive heart attack on February 14, 2011 from which she never regained consciousness.
Heinz Wamser
630-427-0672"

The full obituary follows (thanks to the effort of Garland Edgell):
"Anke Maren Thea Wamser Jachmann, 71, of Idaho Falls, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2011, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

As a military family, they made their homes in Columbus, Ga.; Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.; Fayetteville, N.C.; Bblingen, Germany; Hampton, Va.; and finally in Idaho Falls. They were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Larisa.
She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served as a Primary teacher, several times as a Relief Society teacher and volunteered in the Family History Center.

Our sincere sympathy goes out to the families of our classmates, Bob and Anke; it seems life is getting shorter and a little sadder the older we get.
