Mr. and Mrs. Bremen were such wonderful hosts to many of my childhood sleepovers. I have fond memories of tent building, stamp collecting and just hanging out with Laura, Mary Jean and Bill. My prayers for all of you. Mary Long

Uncle Bill was my Uncle of few words, the words were replaced with an abundance of smiles, laughter, and the kindest heart I've known as his niece. Uncle Bill will live forever in my heart. All of the Bremens were blessed by his loving nature. Georgeanna

Hi Bremen Family, I am so sorry that I am unable to get to Aberdeen this weekend. Your dad was kind enough to give me a ride to the bus stop every morning of high school. Before that, when we were really young, he was the first dad who would get home from work, and we'd be waiting for him yelling, "Ride Time", as soon as he pulled up to your house. Then we'd pile in the back of the (red?) station wagon for a trip around the block. Now that I think about it, he was the dad who would often pick us up from the matinee movies we attended many Saturdays. No car seats or seat belts in those days - who knows how many of us were crammed in the "way back". The Bremen House was often the center of activity and he calmly put up with us. On behalf of many other Webb Street children, I'd like to say that your father played a role in all our lives. With fond memories of your dad, Ruth
