    Where do I start? Dagmar was one of the nicest ladies I have ever met while working in the Food Service at FAMC. She always had a smile on her face and never seemed to forget my name even though I worked every other weekend. One good memory I will always keep in the back of my mind is how much candy she always had. She always would whisper to me to come to her room after work or when I could so she could fill up my pockets with candy. Halloween time was the best though!! We will always remember Dagmar for the great things in life she has accomplished, I am very pleased to have met Dagmar. She made me look at life different just by seeing her every once in a while. She always smiled and had a great attitude about life. She never gave up and always gave her all. God bless and rest in peace. -Blake

    I have such fond memories of Dagmar. Especially when Joyce, Sharon and I spent a weekend with her in Lincoln when we were in high school. When I think back, she must have been out of her mind to put up with us 3 for a whole weekend But mostly I'll remember that she always wore a smile. She will long be remember because she was so well loved. With sympathy, Kelly
