The Hansen family has touched our lives in many ways over the years, and your kindness and friendship has been a great inspiration to our family. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. REMEMBRANCE You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she's gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she'd want: Smile, Open Your Eyes, Love and Go On." -- Author Unknown Wendell Crow Family 210 Bridger Dr Ammon, ID 83406 Marlene Crow, Dahl Buttars, Kay Crow, Rodney Crow Glen and Elaine Munns May we offer our prayers and wishes for your peace and comfort at this time.
