Dear Joyce and Halvorsen family,
My deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. I will always remember her as a caring and funny lady when we were growing up. When I pass the house on Catherine St. (I still call it the Halvorsen's house) I will look up to the sky and smile.

Dear Mr. Halvorsen and family:
Your wife and mother has left such a beautiful imprint on my life. She graciously invited our entire family to your cherished home on the lake several years ago where she treated us all like family. I thoroughly enjoyed her company; she spoke so lovingly of her grandchildren and shared stories of her life. In the last few years I would run into her at the thrift store where she always greeted me with her lovely smile and warmth. What a treasure she was...and will remain in my heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with each one of you.

Jimmy, Rose and the entire Halvorsen family,
My prayers are with you at this very sad time. Having lost my dad this year, I know only too well how much you will miss your mom, but the memories you have of a loving mother will last forever and help get you through the tough times.
Jimmy drove over 2 hours to be at my dad's funeral in Binghamton this past January, I only wish I could return the gesture.
Your entire family will be in my prayers.
