I was very sad to learn of my little German friend''s passing. I enjoyed seeing the sisters come into Rechek''s Food Pride and they always brought a smile to my face. Please give her sister a hug for me and tell her I am thinking of her and the family at this sad time.

Dear Heim and Hall Families, We were so sorry to read about Hannah. She was such a nice lady. We have many fond memories of her as children; she truly was like a 2nd Grandma to us for a long time! We are so sorry neither of us were able to make it to the funeral. Please accept our love and condolences. Penny Nichols and Cinnamon Mayoh.

Eva, George & Linda: My condolences to you and yours. Hanna was a wonderful, spirited lady. I am sure that is what I will remember her for. Enjoy your memories of her in your time of sorrow. Carol Valley
