June 15, 2019 at 9:52 amDeepest sympathy to Mr. Bruch (Maynard), Mike, Kim, and family. I remember Wilma as a very kind person whom I met through my softball days playing for/against coach Bruch and playing with/against Mike. Mrs. Bruch was always willing to open her home to the kids running around the neighborhood and I thought that was so cool.
Your wife/mother was a fond part of the most joyful part of my life, as was your family.
Sorry I was unable to attend services, but know that I am thinking fondly of you all, and you are in my prayers during this difficult time.
