To all of you who have left our family know that you are thinking of us all we appreciate it very much. We know now that Grandma is at peace with no more pain. Knowing also that her and Grandpa are together helps comfort us although we are going to miss her alot. As we all know someday we will be together as a whole family again. Thanks again for your prayers and concerns.
Our deepest sympathy is with all the Hansen Family at this sad time. When I think of Maxine I remember her and her mom always came in the grocery store together- if I remember right it was usually on a friday after they got their hair done! She was a very nice lady and know how much she loved her family. Wish I could see all of you but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Sandy Miller
