I remember Amber had sweaty hands. She played Christmas songs on the piano all year round and some of the staff at the Braille School didn't like that. Amber had a good memory and I have a good memory 2. Amber's favorite supper at the Braille School was Tenderloins and mac and cheese. I remember in 91 at the dorm Palmer 2 East when Amber was ill she cried in her room, Tasha Rhodes 1 of the students was with her in her room, took care of Amber, I was standing behind her room door, the door was closed, I heard her cry, I opened the door, Tasha said "Amber U R going 2 be fine". Tasha was in the dorm in 91-92 School Year, and 92-93 School Year. I remember on June 5 through June 12, 94 Tasha went with me 2 Camp Heritage in Missouri. Tasha graduated on June 6, 98. "See U Amber and Diane someday in Heaven".
I remember Amber played the piano. She took piano lessons in 91, she was a good piano player. She shook her head side 2 side while she sang and talked 2, the staff said "Amber head still". She and I were in class together since 91-92 School Year until 2002-2003 my last School Year she wasn't my class mate but I would see her in between. 93-94 School Year she sang country music songs, in the Spring 96 I sang country music songs without the music with Amber 2. In March 2000 she and I went out 4 Special Olympics Cheerleading and she and I've been doing that in 2001, 2002, and 2003. She asked me "U remember in 91 the fire drill",? I answered "I do", she asked me "U remember when that happened we went 2 the Health Center 2 sleep",? I answered "I do", she asked me "U remember in 91 the Christmas Program",? I answered "I do", Jesse Stelken, Joey Beem, Josh Jostad, Jon Moon were Amber and my class mates in 91-92 School Year, Beth Sale was our teacher in 91-92 School Year, I had Beth 4 Summer School in 91. Beth came 2 visit me at Mom and Dad's in the Summer 91, Jon, Beth, and I went 2 Pizza Hut, Hardees, went 2 the Legion park on S. 6th Street, sometimes we had the picnic at Mom and Dad's. Beth moved 2 New York after 91-92 School Year. 92-93 School Year Amber, Jesse, Josh, Joey, Jon, and I had Mr. Martin, 93-94 School Year Amber, Jesse, and I had Miss Mauer, 94-95 School Year we had her again, and Jon was with Amber, Jesse, and I. 95-96 School Year Amber, Jesse, Josh, and I had Jill Roberts, had her again in 96-97 School Year, 97-98 School Year, and the last time we had Jill was in 98-99 School Year. Justin Reiks who started the 2 week Summer School in 98, started the 98-99 School Year, Justin and I shared a bus stop here in Marshalltown in 98-99 School Year through my last year 2002-2003 School Year. Jennifer Fisher who started coming 4 the 2 week Summer School in 98, she started coming 4 the 98-99 School Year were Amber, Jesse Josh, and my class mates. So in 99-2000 School Year Amber, Jesse, Jennifer, Justin, and I had Karen. 2000-2001 School Year Amber, Jesse, Justin, and I had Kelli, 2001-2002-School Year Amber, Jesse, Josh, and I had Kelli first period. In September 2001 Justin, and I switched busses because him, and I didn't want 2 put up with Jennifer telling Amber, Justin, the other kids, and I what 2 do. So Justin, and I rode on the bus with Amber 4 the rest of 2001-2002 School Year.
I remember Amber started going 2 Camp Courageous Of Iowa in Monticello in 94 in the Summer and she's been going there ever since then. I remember going there 4 my first time while I was at school 4 the 96-97 School Year, spent 1 night there on February 10, 97, and went back 2 school on February 11, 97 Tuesday. She and I went there with Patricia Wardenburg the assistant in March 98 4 a school trip, she, Patricia, and I went back 2 school. I went there again in July 98, it was my first year camping there 4 that Summer. "We have 2 rejoice that Amber and Diane R in Heaven waiting 4 us, and we'll see them again someday in Heaven".
I remember Amber. She and I went 2 the Iowa Braille School in Vinton so she and I've been friends since her and I started there in 91-92 School Year, my first time at the Braille School was 4 Summer School in 91. So I've been going 2 Summer School in 93, 94, 95, 96, Mom came 2 get me on Friday June 21, 96, 97, 98, 99, I quit going 2 Summer School after Summer School 99, so in 2000 I've been going 2 the Braille School 4 the School Year, she and I've been class mates since 91-92 School Year until my last School Year was in 2002, it was 2002-2003 School Year, I graduated on May 31, 2003. She and I lived in the dorm Sunday night through Thursday nights, she and I went home on the bus on Friday afternoon. During Summer School in 91, 93, 94, 95, and 97 she and I stayed in the dorm on the weekends, the 2 weeks of Summer School 98 we went home on the bus on the weekends, came back 2 school on Sunday night just like the School Year, the 4 week of Summer School 99 we did the same thing. In 91, 92, 93 she and I listened 2 Psalty the Singing Song Book tapes, later in 95-96 School Year she became a country music fan, her favorite singer was Collin Raye. She sang along 2 each Collin Raye song, on April 10, 96 my class went 2 Hampton Iowa 2 visit Amber's home town, going 2 the City Hall first, Davey's factory where Dad worked, the candle store, KLMJ Radio, Hardee's 4 Lunch, Square Creek Gen store, the Nursing Home where Mom worked, played Bingo, 8 bananas 4 snack, the bank, and went back 2 school. I met Diane and Dad Jay, I've known them ever since 91. She, I, the rest of the class went 2 Waverly Iowa, rode on the Star Clipper Dinner Train in 91, May 92, and the last time that Amber, Jesse, and I rode on it was on Monday April 11, 94. She and I watched Rescue 911 every Tuesday night in the lounge, William Shatner hosted the program. She asked me "D U remember Collin Raye",? I answered "I do". In August 96 she told me that she was going 2 see Collin Raye in Concert on August 30, 96, after the Concert she told me the story about the Collin Raye Concert, Collin and Amber were holding hands waiting in line, Diane took a picture of Amber, and Collin back stage. She got a Collin Raye T-Shirt, in October 96 she had a pumpkin, it had a picture of Collin Raye on the back of the pumpkin. She used 2 wear 2 braces on her feet, later she wore only 1 brace on her foot. In 2016 she called me, sometimes I would get her voice mail, the voice mail said "Hi this is Amber Bushbaum in a minute you're going 2 hear the rest of the story". So I left her a message, I said "Hi there this is Melissa Ritter in a minute you're going 2 hear the rest of the story". The last time she called me was on July 21, 2020 my Birthday. On May 10, 2022 God wanted Diane 2 go 2 Heaven. So God took her 2 Heaven. She's pain free, sorrow free, suffering free, all better, and all new. On July 16, 2022 God wanted Amber 2 go 2 Heaven. So God took her 2 Heaven. She's pain free, sorrow free, suffering free, blind free, all better, and all new 2. "We'll see U Amber and Diane again someday in Heaven".
I worked with Amber Sue she was a hard worker and a good worker and I went to school with her. I miss her so much she was and still is a good friend of mine. Today is no different I found out she passed away and it broke my heart. She told me to tell my cousin Pat hi for her and I did as I was told and I never disappointed her I kept my promise and she would always tell him hi for me every Sunday before church for me. God bless you Amber Sue I miss you my friend and I love you my friend. I can hear her sing every day even though she is gone. Sorry for your loss Jay and family.
What even is this? It's the strangest organ dedication I've ever seen. Do they not have a skilled organist. And, what about the organ? Who built it, how many ranks? It's a nice get-to-gether, I guess.
WOW! I really do need new glasses I thought your nick name was Compost which is what your silly opinion is worth-a large pile of it. Like you could do better! NOT! I see there is nothing on your page, where are your latest works published? I could go on but you bore me now so you go and try to find some actual friends! LOL!
@@charlespatsky7060 i'm glad i consumed your mind for a bit, it was so easy. Maybe you were never breast fed as a baby. and by the way, you have some serious anger issues. I showed your comment to some of my friends here at the Eastman School of music and they thought it was hilarious. please send us another one.
@@TheProsaicCult dear professor compost, you did not answer the question where can I find YOUR published works because there are none. That is what you left-wingnuts do when you have no answer LETS GO BRANDON!
I do not understand all these "organists" who play with only their left foot. The organ is meant to be played with both feet. The swell swell shoe and crescendo shoe are not just a foot rest. Most of these people might play at the organ, but they are certainly not organists in any way.
Left footed Suzie. I serviced pipe organs for 45 years. One church I remember there was a small throw rung on the pedal board every time I visited to tune the organ. Once when I was there, the organist made an appearance, and asked why we had removed the carpet which covered the grate, where cold air went up her skirt. She was correct there was a terrible cold draft. So we replaced it.
