Dear Lynn and family,
Your mom and dad are together again...it's almost bittersweet. No more pain. Never met your parents, but they have given my family a wonderful and caring gift in having you in our lives.

To the Soban family my deepest condolences. Hard to lose and mother and father so close together. I remember your Dad with a ready smile and a little joke. Can't believe he was 90. Where do the years go. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We will really miss our Brother Knight Hap, especially his detailed stories and his ever smiling face. He would lovingly grab our hand and tell a great story. From his days living through the depression or his time in WWII. Hap was a great guy. I'm sure that Hap and Jane have box seats in heaven. We need more people like Hap and Jane in this world!
