"I wanted to take a moment to Thank all of you who extended yourselves in sending me and my family flowers and cards and concern for the loss of my Dad (1/6/35-3/2/98).. He was a very special man and he will be sorely missed. It is through the kindness of others, and the memories of my father and his life that our family has been able to deal with our circumstances... it means more than words can express."

My Dad lived his life in a way that only he could.. He was a very dear friend to many people, and the following verses sum up the way he handled his relationships with others...
"Love is.. very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty, or selfish, or rude... Love does not demand its own way, but rejoices when truth wins out..."
"Christmas is more than a day at the end of the year, more than a day of joy and good cheer, Christmas is God's pattern for living, to be followed each day by unselfish giving.."
~ I LOVE YOU DAD~ Your Son Hans
