Hi,Thank You all for showing such compassion to our family.I have been married to Bambi's brother for 37 years.For the past 25 of those years Paul has tried so hard to figure out what happen to his sister.Every where he turned he ran into a road block.Until 2 weeks ago when he got onto the Doe site.There he found their sister site NAMPN which helped him post Bambi's picture and her information.Once that happen we know some wonderful lady named Therese made the connection with Bambi's picture and her information to a Jane Doe in Texas.Thank You to her for acting so quickly.This has been hard on all the family.We had always held out hope that Bambi was still alive.But as the years grew we knew she was more likely gone.When we saw the Jane Doe 1983 profile our selfs we had called to the police there and the site we were working with to tell them the discription of this girl sounded like Bambi.They told us they already had the tip on this Jane Doe and was working on it. We have worked very hard with the police department to try and make a positive ID.We know this is Bambi.I know my mother and father -in-law we're unsure only of the rings she wore but like I told them it's been 25 years since they saw Bambi last.Plus their 83 years old and their memory is hazey about things.One of the rings was her birthstone which tells me it was hers.But we do know Bambi had a 3rd nipple under her right breast,she had a burn on her forearm,Double piercied ears,contact lenses tinted blue,she wore the same pants as Jane Doe,had the same hair color,eye color,height and weight.Some other things we also confirmed with the report from the police that made us know this is Bambi.When the story came out in Quad City Times my mother and father-in-law got the paper and saw the postmortum picture they had in the paper. When we called them that night Mom said that was Bambi.That Dad and her knew the minute they saw the picture it was their daughter.See we live in Mass and only had what was printed in the paper on line.The picture's weren't available to see.I know the paper is sending them to us Thank You Ann.Also we will be getting picture's from the police down in Texas for us to look at so to confirm that it's her.This is extremely hard on my husband's parent's, his brother and his family, and Paul and our family.We all never gave up hope that she was alive. Now once the DNA confirms that this is truly Bambi we can go to where she's buried and place a headstone with her neme.Jane Doe 1983 will now have a name.We as a family talked about moving her and said no.She has been there 25 years why disturb her resting place.The Good Lord put her in the arms of Angels when she died in the town of Amarillo,Texas.She was Blessed by such wonderful people and we as her family take comfort in knowing how well she was cared for.Thank You all in Amarillo,Texas.She was a wonderful young lady and was extremely loved by us all.She will be forever missed but never forgotten.To all the Police who have worked on this case and continues to work on it we Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.Especially Sgt. Holmes.You have worked so hard at trying to name this Jane Doe.Now that it looks like you'll be able to the next thing is to bring her killer to justice. We as Bambi's family want to Thank all the heart felt words we have gotten from everyone.We are deeply saded that Bambi is gone but know she is in a good place and that God has had her for all these years.Thank You all for writng hear and your compassion shows in all the words you write.Please keep us in your thoughts and hearts for the wait know for the DNA will be the hardest time.It's going to be a long few months.But in our hearts we know it's her.Bambi we love you and pray you can see how many people out here cared a great deal about you.Thank You all for your support and comfort.Your words mean alot to us. Love Lorie Paul and the Dick Family
