Dear Hansen Family,

I'm very saddened to hear of Mrs. Hansen's passing. I have great memories of her from when you lived on Spaulding. What a sense of humor she had and always a kind word to say! I was fortunate to have had lunch with her a few times in the past few years and she spoke very proudly of all of you! She was a great woman and she will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Mrs. Hansen.
