Papa,
I miss you more and more each day, but I know that you are no longer in pain and suffering. I know that you and Grandma are looking down upon all of us and watching over me. I love you and I know that you are with me. I take comfort in that.##imported-begin##Bambi Hansen Smith##imported-end##
Grandpa is in a better place with the ones he has lost. He will truly be missed. I only wished that my family could of made it up there before he left so he could meet his great granddaughter Alyssa Lynn Wickman. Grandpa will be missed. We love you.##imported-begin##Donald L.

To all the Hansen Family
I consider it a privilege and a honor having know and been close to my beloved sister Becky for over 30 years,I have sat at Mr Hansen's Table many times with her ,enjoyed his smile and many words of wisdom He will be truly missed.I remember as children we would try and take is cigarettes and always get caught but this soft spoken man would just shake his head,I had many cups of coffee with him and remember that smile. He enjoyed his grandchildren so much and found joy in the simple things in life, always would talk and joke around with me on the phone about the Texas baseball teams when I called,and a kind word even when he was feeling sick.As we say good-bye to this Patriarch I know he will finally rest,his work finished here.He will be in my heart and prayers ,being close to Becky his daughter whom he lived with, I have seen and heard throughout the years of his courageous battle with his health,a job so well done he has earned his wings to fly free,watch over all as an angel in heaven to guide and protect all who ask anything from him. Mr Hansen one of the hardest working men I have known with a big heart and a gentle spirit.My thought and prayers will be with all the family at this time of loss.Besos Pamela##imported-begin##Pamela Trevino##imported-end##

Dear Daddy,
Words cannot describe how much I love and miss you. You were the man that was always a constant in my life from the day of my birth. I miss you and mom more than I can ever explain, but I know that you are in a better place and that you are together now.
We had our diference of opinions and I know that i sometimes made you mad, but I know that even after all of the things that I put you through you never passed judgement on me and you always loved me no matter what.
You were the only man in my life that I could always depend on and I take comfort in knowing that even in death, I can count on you to still watch over me and to guide me in the right direction. I love you daddy amd I will never forget you. You are in my heart, my mind and I know that you will always be by my side no matter what. I cn feel you around me. I know that when the wind blows just right, or when I feel alone, that all I will have to do is think of you and you will be there. I love you now and forever and I will never forget you.
I love you now and forever,
Your Daughter,

My dearest Pa-Pa,
I love and miss you more than words could ever express. You were my rock, my strengeth and the fabric that held our family together. I feel privelaged to have been your first born granddaughter and to have had you as the father in my life. You were there when I took my first breath and I was there when you took your final breath. I am so sorry that there was nothing more to do for you in the final days, but I draw comfort in knowing that you are no longer in pain and that you are watching down over me with Grandma and Kristin. I miss you more than words could ever express and I know that I will have you by my side for the rest of my life. You were more than a grandfather to me, you were my dad and I will love and cherish all of the time had together.
From the moment I was born, you were the one that had always been a constant in my life. I know that you will always be with me and that you were the greatest man that I have or will ever know...they broke the mold after they made youy. I may not have you to hold me physically any longer, but I have so many memories to comfort me when I need you.
I can still feel your presence around me and I know that when I am lonely, all I have to is think of you and you will be there, always near me to give me strength, love and comfort. I will strive to make you proud of me and I will try and instill your values and ideals into Patrick. You are the man in my life, in my dreams and will forever be the man that is in my jeart. I love you PaPa and that will never, ever change. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and Thank you for being the man that I look up to, now and forever. I will always be forever greatful for being a part of you and having you be a part of me. I love you more than words can describe and I will always cherish you.
