I am sorry about the loss of your loved one. Words cannot describe feelings in a time like this. Many have found comfort in the Bible’s promises of seeing our past loved ones again such as at John 5 verses 28 and 29. Take care of yourselves and keep memories of your past loved one close.
I have never known anyone who loved people as much as my Papa did. He had such a joy for life and the people he loved. I am so glad he got to meet my little girl and that they got to light up each others lives, if only for a little while. I will miss you so very much, Papa. XOXO
Mr Hansen always had a nice smile on his face whenever we saw him at any WI Clark function. He was always very friendly and personable. We feel enriched by having known him. Lynn Fisher and Penny Russo
Very sorry about your loss.
Debbie, Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this time. Please know we are here for you should you need anything. Dan and Shari
