To the Ohlman Family, my Prayers, condolences, and best regards go out to all. I am a distant cousin of David from the 60s if his parents happened to be Dick and Lenore Ohlman. I never met David as he was in Vietnam and I believe he may have been a helicopter pilot from overhearing the adults talk. I was only about 7 yrs old. But I always wondered about him as I found d myself in the Army only 11 years later. I believe David may have been wounded if memory serves. Respectfully and Sincerely,

Kevin Raabe

PS ,David's Grandmother, Cora, was a sister to my Grandmother Helen Raabe/Davis. I would love to hear from anyone. I also knew David's sister Melinda

Dear Dave:

It has been a wonderful 17 years of shared life with you. Last April, 2018 you were diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. I have been your loving wife and put every ounce of energy of a whole heart and soul to make you comfortable, happy, and loved. As of January, unable to care for you due to my own physical limitations with osteoarthritis, it was time to make alternate arrangements for your care.

It was heartbreaking to be apart from you, dismantle our life together, leave our home and all of our belongings behind, loose our cat to illness, and move 2 hours away. Throughout our time at home with your illness, you spoke less and less, came in and out of awareness, and could no longer care for yourself. I have been saying goodbye to you over the past year as you have slowly slipped away.

Though you are still here with us in body, I have been slowly mourning the loss of your personality, independence, memory, and awareness. All of my emotions have been coupled with the exhaustion, isolation, and the loneliness of being a caregiver. I have been greatly aware of your looming death, which has brought overwhelming anxiety and dread. In advance of your death I am grieving the loss of your abilities, independence, identity, hope, and countless other losses as your illness has progressed.

Peace be upon you. Love Bobi
