<< Prev Page 1 of 80 Next Page >> I grew up seeing purple everywhere. My mother was your biggest fan and took any opportunity to order flowers in her favorite purple packages. She especially loved your HWY 55 (at 169) store because it was close, and always had wonderful garden and gift ideas for her. We lost her 7 years ago to cancer. We have a florist in the family, but because of her love of Bachman's, he didn't take offense when many of us ordered funeral flowers from you instead. The Bachman's name has always been near and dear to Minnesotan's, and we all felt a great loss when Todd's life was taken from all of us. I pray for continued healing for your family. Lori Nusbaum - St James, MN (10/10/2008) To the Bachman family-Even though our meeting was brief as we stood in line at the Bird's Nest in Beijing, we could tell that you are a wonderful, loving family. We were so sad when we heard the news about Todd-ever since then we have thought of you often and prayed for you. We pray that Barbara is recovering well and that Elizabeth is well.
