Mrs. Hedman made a strong impression on me several times over as a person who did not have an unkind bone in her body. One such humorous example was when I was visiting her sons (Lars and Eric) several years ago at their family home and Mrs. Hedman so very kindly asked me to help move a snake to a safe area in the woods and to "please" make sure the snake was unharmed. I truly dislike snakes, but how could I resist being gentle with this snake when someone so kind asks me to help it? Both Mrs. Hedman and her husband instilled kindness and decency in their sons who continue to positively touch everyone that they meet. Her loving character is further evident within her daughter in law (Jody) and her granddaughter (Erin). Job well done Mrs. Hedman!
Mr. Hedman (Victor), Eric, Lars, Jody, Erin and family, deepest condolences from the Robinson family.
