Condolences

Dear Ron and Family,I send my sincere condolences to you at this trying time in your life, with the loss of your mother, and brother.I had the privilege of knowing your mother for over 33 years, as a friend and Avon representitive. She was a beautiful, gracious, happy, and loving friend. She was so proud of all of her family. She loved showing me the pictures of her grand-daughters, and the pictures that they would make for her graced the front of her refrigerator. You are lucky to have had such a wonderful mother. I loved her visits, and loved to visit your mom and dad as well. I use to get to sample the wonderful canned vegetables, and the home-made soup, that always fragranced their kitchen. When I would come back to Kenosha to visit my family, I would always try to make a stop to see her. The last time I spoke with her she told me that I had made her day, which indeed, she had made mine as well. I will miss her. My heart goes out to you at this very trying time in your life.God Bless your family at this time, and always.Sincerely,Suzanne, & Bud Hansen

Dear Ron, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mother was a special person and you were a good son. You were there when she needed you most. She was very proud of you and loved all of her family dearly. The day I came to see her she showed me everyone's picture on the refrigerator and had a wonderful story to go along with every photograph. I know she will be sadly missed by everyone and my heart breaks for you. I hope to make it to the services. If not, my deepest condolences to you and your family. Sincerely, Dawn Smith
