I am so grateful for my family and friends at a time when I need assurance. Most of all I am so thankful to have my faith and the wonderful traditions,prayers,music,and ceremonies of the holy Catholic Church. The familiar prayers and ceremonies are my comfort just as they were for my parents and their parents before them.

Uncle Jack was great...always smiling, always glad to see us when we visited from Little Rock. He had that "Haaser twinkle" in his eyes that can never be forgotten. The pictures brought back so many wonderful memories of him. Our prayers go out to all you.

I knew Jack and Don while living on No. 20th st, going to St.Boniface and remembering him at St. Anne's. My dad, Frank Koers played cards with his father A>O. at St. Boniface Hall. What a wonderful family...my prayers will be with the Haaser Family.

To the Haaser Family. Jack was a very nice man and really enjoyable to be around. I remember as a youngster always excited when I'd hear that Jack and Theresa were coming in from AR. He was a good man and one of the strongest I'd ever met. I remember him always smiling and happy. Will miss him. The best to everyone from John and Linda Wilkinson. Very sorry we couldn't be there.
