" To those of you who didn't know my mother personallly, she is by far one of the most funny, caring, and selfless humans around. There are no words that can express howI feel that she is gone from this world. Although I know she is in a better place she was my best friends. I have ALWAYS looked up to her and wanted to be just like her in everyway possible. She was such a strong person and I'm very lucky I was able to inherit her qualities and look like her because she is soooo beautiful. "

" Sgt Bahschnitt was a wonderful person and a great asset to the prison system. I only worked for her for a short time in 1999 and I am sad to hear that she has passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
