Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. So much has changed. So many new family members. I wish you could be here! I wish you were able to meet my son Kolby. I miss hearing your voice. So many wonderful memories, that I hope never fade. Please continue to watch over us and guide us, "Grandma Richfield". Until we meet again, I will love you for always!!!

Happy Birthday Mom! I love and miss you so much!
Wow...who would have thought this would be so hard. I am feeling very emotional as I sit here and read through your guest book. It feels as though it was yesterday instead of 3 years ago that you left us. I am so very grateful for the wonderful happy memories and feelings I have about you. Thankfully that is something I will always have and will never lose. I love and miss you and think about you all the time, especially today on what would have been your 79th Birthday. Lots of hugs and kisses! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I can't believe another year has gone by without you Mom. I love you so much! Things have happened that I have wanted to tell you about and talk to you about, but I guess you already know. I miss having you to talk too, you were always there for me. Things just aren't the same. Dad has been there to help and he has been great. Well I guess you know that there are going to be some new members of the Hansen family ( Holly and Kimberli are pregnant ). Send us some wonderful little spirits to love. The family reunion was great this year. Your brothers and sister were there but all were getting older. It was good to see everyone. I'll write again. Love , Ronalyn

Dear Mom, I just wanted to say Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary, This would have been your golden wedding anniversary today. I wish you could have been here in person to celebrate with us. This is also the 1st anniversary of your burial. This has been one hard year but I have felt you near me often. I am so glad that families are forever and it's just a matter of time until we will be together again. Thank you Mom for marrying such a wonderful man such as Dad, and Dad thank you for marrying my wonderful Mom. Thank you for loving your children and providing us with the things that are important in this life such as the Gosple, love, morals, integrity, and so on. I love you both for all you have given me, thanks!!! Love Ronalyn

It has almost been a year without you. I have longed for your physical presence this past year but I am thankful for your spiritual presence. You have comforted me many times this past year and I know you are watching over each of us and will help us when we need it. I love and miss you. Happy Heavenly Mothers Day! Love, Ronalyn

Dear Mom, It has been 6 months since you left us. I think of you every day. I cry often. You are in everything around me, the sunrise, the sunset, the mountains, the trees, the wind. I hear beautiful music and I think of you. I see beautiful paintings and I think of you. I feel you near but I WANT YOU!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Robyn & Family--
Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your mother. Losing a loved one, and a parent even more so, is always devastating to our hearts and I'm sorry that you must go through it.
Just remember that she is still with you and watches over you and no doubt would salve your pain if she could.
You'll see her again, and that can be a comfort to you if you will let it. Until then, relish the happy memories that you have and let them bring joy and warmth into your heart--it will help to heal the pain.
Wishing you comfort and peace--

Dear Robyn, Rosemari and Hansen Family,
I am so sorry for your loss and my heart is breaking for you. I wish I could have been at the services but I recieved Robyn's e-mail to late. Although I know she had been ill for some time, it seems like her passing was still quite sudden. Please know that my prayers are with you and your family at this trying time.

Dear Hansen Family - We were saddened to learn of the passing of your wife and mother. Please accept our heartfelt condolences at her passing. She was a lovely woman and will be missed by many. You will all be remembered in our prayers. She is now home with young Ronnie and what a joyous reunion that must have been. I know because our Lori had the same reunion with her 3 little girls. How blessed we are to have the gospel in our lives and to know of the plan of salvation that we have to look forward to. God bless all of you with peace and comfort. Love from the Johnson family, Neil, Pat, Lianne, Cathy and Karen

We are sorry to hear of the passing of a dear friend and neighbor. We are happy to have had the acquaintance of your family for many years while in the Cottonwood Heights area. She was always smiling and friendly and we know what a good wife and mother she was. We also have many fond memories of you children in the younger years of your lives. We are thankful for the peace the gospel brings when a loved one passes on. She is an elect lady.
We love you all. Hank and Virginia

Dear Ralph and family. We were so saddened at the news of Ruth's passing. She was always so kind to us and was an example of perservierance through trials. She has left a wonderful family and a legacy to be remembered by. Jim and Verae Hansen

Words just don't do it at a time like this, and you would think that I would have the right thing to say considering, but for all it's worth I'm so sorry for your loss. It's times like this that you will have to depend on the Comforter to bring the peace that you will seek through these next few months as you adjust to the loss of your loved one. The one thing I do know is families are forever, I can only imagine the joy she has had as relations past have been renewed for her on the other side. While she may be gone physically, she will still be apart of your lives as I can attest to that through my own experiences in the Temple. She is not truly gone, just gone ahead. May you be comforted, and rejoice in the love and life that you shared while in mortality. She has left a lasting Legacy through her great love and example to her family. My prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
