At the loss of our dear friend, Richard Holmstrom, classmates from the Class of 1979 have asked that we begin a Memorial Fund. 

We are opening up a "memorial contributions" account that will allow us to buy flowers or make donations to the Alumni Association in memory of classmates. When we are notified of a death in time, flowers will be sent to the parents (if parents are deceased, then to the next of kin) of deceased classmates on or near the day of our classmate's funeral or memorial.  When we are notified after a funeral, there will be a donation made to the BWHS Alumni Scholarship fund. Extra monies will then be saved for later use.  Flower cards will be signed from "BWHS Class of 1979".  If you are interested in contributing to this fund, please email julie@bwhsalumni.com


Our thanks to those who have donated to the Flower Fund and to the Memorial Scholarship Fund in honor of our classmates!

"Heaven's Door"

If I should go before you,
If life on earth were through;
I'll stop just inside Heaven's door,
And there I'll wait for you.
You've but to look 'cross star filled skies,
Past the moon and then beyond;
To know my leaving could never break,
This heart's undying bond.
And if you should go before me,
If your journey on earth were through;
You know I will be close behind,
I'll never be far from you.
Across the span of time and space,
This love will reach this far;
For you'll always carry a bit of my heart,
No matter where you are.
We've no way of knowing who will remain,
Or who will go on before;
But if I should go first, you'll find love there,
I'll be waiting just inside Heaven's door.
