Norma "Jean" Handy

I will miss Jean. She was always cheerful even thru all of her treatments. I did her hair for the last 13 years and will truly miss seeing her smile and upbeat outlook on life.

To the Handy Family: We are so sorry for the loss of your Mom and Dad.

We moved into their neighborhood in 1971 and soon after met the "Handy Family" - our good fortune!!

What fond memories we have of your parent. They were always so friendly and so happy!

We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. John and Kay Scharff

To the Handy Family--my heart is broken with the loss of Paul and Jean. I know they are in a better place, but that means I won't receive any more calls or e-mails that have always made me smile and blush a little. My husband, Dave Bruhn had a heart attack when we visited them and they were so loving and gentle with me as I intruded on their privicy and gave up their bedroom when Dave was released from the hospital, until we could make our way back to Idaho. I have always felt close since...

I am so happy I got to know Mr&Mrs Handy. They are some of my earliest memories of life, later, they, especially Paul, became a fond memory of my son. Jean always had a smile and Paul a laugh. How happy I am I got to watch him putter around and enjoy his pumpkin patch. I hope they are happy again together. My love to the Handy family.

My deepest sympathy to you Missy and all your family. My memory from so long ago was having dinner with the Handy's and I had to eat my potatoes with the skin on for the first time. They were delicious!! Your parents were so kind and happy as I remember from way back in Jr. High. God bless you all. Good that you all are a close family.

Mark, Steve, Patrick and Missy,

I was so saddened to hear about your father's passing. We had received his e-mail about your mom's situation and pending passing. Our internet had been down for a few days so just found out about both of them passing so close to each other. I know that our fathers were very dear friends and I have great memories hunting with you guys as well as clamming on the Washington coast. I had the privilege of seeing your folks at my dad's service so many...

To our Handy family, We were so fortunate that Paul knocked on our door 45 years ago to find out if it was a good neighborhood to buy a house, and to ask if there were kids here. Our lives were so enriched to know Paul, Jean and family. My memory bank is overflowing with good times and love for them. There was always laughter from Jean and so much knowledge from Paul, he was my "Master Gardener". We love and will miss you very, very much...

Jean bowled with me at Hazel Dell Lanes back in the 70's. She ALWAYS had a smile and raised all our spirits, even when we were losing!! She remains a light in my memory and I am sure you will really miss her. Blessings to you all. Linda Harteloo
