We just wanted to take a chance to sincerely thank everyone who came to the funeral service today. It meant alot to all of our families. I would like to add that it was a true honor to see the 21 gun salute Grandpa was privelaged to get at Fort Snelling. He deserved it and we are all so very proud. He will be deeply missed, but we know that he is up in Heaven with all of the ones who have gone before. Special thank you to Hospice for the wonderful care you gave to my Grandpa, as well as...

Dear Sis and family,

I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for the loss of of your dad and the grandfather of your children. I didn't know him but he had to be a wonderful man to raise such a good person as you. Both my parents are gone now and I miss them so much. God Bless all of you and know you are in my prayers.

Sis and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. It just seems like yesterday that I was saying those same words about your mom and Hans. I pray that God's peace will comfort you during these difficult times. We will see them all again soon.
With much love,

I will miss my Grandpa. He is now with everyone he missed so dearly in heaven. I am very thankful to the Lord that he gave us the time we had with Don Iliff. I am a better person for having him in my life.

I am so sad to have lost my Grandpa, however I feel completely blessed that I had so many years with him and that I got to spend time with him as he took the journey to heaven. I will miss him more then I can find words to say, but I know that I will see him again someday. I LOVE YOU GRANDPA. Thank you for everything, and you are a hero to me!!!
