Holly so very sorry for your loss sending love and prayers for you and yours.
Holly and Jeff,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Mr. Hanson was a neighbor, friend, and Father Figure to me. He reminded me so much of my grandfather. He always gave me good sound advice. He treated me like a son. I absolutely loved talking to him. He will truly be missed.
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved one. Please accept my condolences at this painful time. Losing a loved one is distressing and as comfort is needed from family and friends, we have assurance from the Bible that "death will be swallowed up forever" at Isaiah 25:8. It is my hope your family will find strength to endure during the days ahead.
Thinking of you with deep sympathy and praying for your comfort and peace. I have such fond memories of your parents going back to 1960.
Sending my love,
Betty Holeman

Will miss Bill. Sorry for the families lost. He was great man, very friendly and a character. Met Bill in 1993, when we moved in down the street. He, Red, and Joe came met me and the family. He watch my to kids grow from infants to adults. Every morning I see those 3 walk the street. Enjoyed visiting with them daily. He was so thoughtful when my wife past away 7 years ago. I will now just look up to see him and Red walking the heavens while Joe is down here walking the streets. â¤ï¸ Out to Bill's families
