Hansen Family
I worked with Jane for many years at United General Hospital. She always had a smile for everyone. She worked mostly night shift and I worked day shift so we would pass each other as she was going home and I was coming to work. She can rest in peace now with no more pain or suffering. May God comfort you all in your time of sorrow.
Aaron and family our heartfelt sympathies to all of you. Words just aren’t enough to express or comprehend your pain right now. I pray that you make it through the next few days, weeks and months with the added strength that I hope you feel from your friends and family.
Aaron and family:
Our hearts go out to you at this incredibly hard time. I for one will never forget the time you and I made you mom want to pull her hair out of her head! Do you remember when we got a hold of her Christmas ortiments? Yeah you remember what happens next!! We stood on the couch and throw them on the floor. Needless to say not my idea!! I thought your mom would have come unglued more then she did. Instead she got the broom and dust pan and made us watch her clean it up. I love you guys so much, take care and lots of hugs are coming your way!!
