Carolyn Wells Bush,

Curtis-I want to express my sympathy at the loss of your mother. I truely enjoyed working with her on her taxes. She was so sweet and interesting. I loved her independant spirit. My prayers are with the whole family. Sincerely, Wendy Albrecht

Dear Curt and Barbara - My condolences on loss of your mother - a bright and active woman. She and I shared classes at Valparaiso Un. (before I met you). She and I were in a Spanish class at VU summer 1949, and we extemporaneously presented a skit in Spanish for the class! Our paths crossed to my delight again when you became 5th-6th grade sudents in my classroom at the old Cook's Corners School. One of the rewards of teaching is a memory of those happy days with folks like you. Cordially, Mel Bohlmann

I was moved to tears watching the video montage of Busha....such a lovely lady. The photos captured her true spirit - loving, kind, and adored by her family. It took me back a few years! Remembering Mexico, Ocean Isle, and all their trips to Wisconsin in-between!! I will remember her often as we go to our daughter's violin recitals in the Chapel of Oakwood East. Last Fall I wandered through the labyrinth of hallways there, looked up, and fell upon Caroline's door. We had the nicest conversation - couldn't blame her for not wanting to get out of those comfortable pajamas and join us at the recital! She was so gracious welcoming me in on a surprise visit, so I put her number in my phone, and promised to call her for the next recital in February. We will have Lauren play it in her memory instead. My deepest condolences to you all for your loss. Stephanie

I am a former student of Carolyn's. She taught my sister and I Spanish at Boone Grove High School in the mid 1970s. She was a wonderful teacher and great lady. One time she invited many of us students to her home for a party and we all had such a good time. My mom was Cleo Mae(Jensen) Sherman. She worked with Katie Lindsey in the mid 1940s at Lowenstines in Valparaiso with Katie. Mom thought the world of her and knew all 3 of her children. My brother's name is David. You have our deepest sympathy. We exchanged Christmas cards every year and I always enjoyed her stories about her bird watching. She was quite a person and will be missed very much.

Senora Bush was my Spanish and Biology teacher at BGHS for 3 years. What a dear lady. She was kind and thoughtful and a lot of fun to have as a teacher. I didn't get to travel to Mexico with her when she took my classmates, but she brought me back 3 little minature figurines. I still display them today. She had us students at her house and what a beautiful home she had. I had kept in contact with her on and off and always enjoyed hearing her adventures through her Christmas cards to me. She and my mom, Cleo, had been friends years before she became my teacher. I send my sympathies to her family.
