	To the Baugher Family, it\'s been years since I\'ve seen most of you but I still have my memories.     At times like these it\'s hard to find the words to express our condolence to someone who has lost a loved one.     It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter.  And although it may seem hard right now, and we know it is, it will be the memories  of these little things that help to push   away the pain and bring the smiles  back again.    With deepest sympathy,    Donna
