I have so many fond memories of Helen. My first is 50 years old when I attended Dee Dee's birthday party. Happy had painted a picnic table so we could celebrate out side with a Barbeque. The paint had not completely dried and I ended up with paint on me yellow skirt. Both Happy and Helen were beside themselves with I am Sorry what can we do. With their warm loving way They encouraged my heart and made a 5 year old girl know every thing would be ok. We have laughed over that story so many times.

Helen and Happy also were very special to me because when my parents went home to be with the Lord, they told me that they would always be there for me for mom and dad hugs. They also loved may kids and they grew up calling them Grandma and Grandpa.

A couple years ago Helen asked Matt to come up and mow her lawn before winter set in. Matt headed up and on the way it started sprinkling. Matt started mowing the lawn any way and Helen told him to come in until it quit sprinkling. Matt reminded her we lived in Washington and rain was expedited. A few minutes later it started hailing. Helen came out and insisted he come in and have some Hot cocoa. At this point he willingly came in. She had cocoa and cookies out for him and insisted she put his Jacket in the dryer to dry. When it was dry he continued to finish mowing but treasured this memory.

We will truly miss your mom. She was a gem and her price was far above rubies. I know you will miss her so much but we will see her again in heaven someday. May the Lord comfort your hearts and the memories of her brighten your days. Love you all so much.##imported-begin##Dorothea Williams##imported-end##

To the family of Helen Hanson my deepest sympathy at the home goingof your mother and grandmother. I remember both Happy and Helen from our days at Temple Baptist. They both always had a smile on their faces....evidence of their love of our Lord. I know you will all miss her but I can't help but think of the wonderful reunion in Heaven with her dear husband.##imported-begin##Linda Shook##imported-end##

To Mark, Ross, Scott, DeeDee and Families,
I was sorry to read of your mother's passing. It reminded me of when my mother passed away 15 years ago. I knew she was ready to go to heaven, but I didn't want to lose her. Your mother was such a wonderful, sweet Christian woman. And your father was an amazing man - I have memories of him quietly coming up on our front porch for many weeks following my dad's death and leaving loves of bread for our family. I was touched by the fact that, in spite of having 4 children of his own, your dad was helping us out during one of the most difficult periods of our lives as a family. I will never forget your mom and dad. They will always have a very special place in my heart. And, I will tell them that when I see them again some day. God's blessings to you.##imported-begin##Lynn Quanrud##imported-end##

I have a flood of memories of childhood on Park Avenue with the Hanson family: Mark throwing a rock at the picture window to get Dee Dee's attention, breaking the window, Ross talking like Donald Duck, Scott breaking his two front teeth trying to catch a croquet ball, going with Helen downtown to get Dee Dee's 1 year picture taken, piercing sadness when baby Jay died, Hap with his "bigger than life" personality. Helen was the center, smiling through it all. I am glad to have had that time with you. I share your happiness remembering her, and your greiving saying good-bye to her. May her God be your God and your comfort.##imported-begin##Deanette Swanson Vogt##imported-end##
