On the Max website, in 'View Guestbook Entries', Alison Buren (Brammer) writes. "Hello, I tried to comment on a post but I couldn't get past the "prove you're not a robot" words. I saw that awhile back people were wondering where Dena (Pfaffengut) Buckles is, and I am her granddaughter. I just wanted to let someone know she passed away on April 2, 2011, at the age of 95. She was living outside of Seattle close to my Mom's house. Four of us were with her."
