We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the Hansen family. Dan and family,your mom was a very nice lady. I first met your mom as a neighbor of my Uncle Ed Price. Your parents were good customers of mine at my auto upholstery shop. I grew to know them best as Dan and I shared coaching of Iona's grandsons and my sons at East Vallejo Little League. I know this a very difficult time for your family. Our thoughts are with you.

My deepest sympathies to your family. If I close my eyes, I can still see Iona on the lodge at Camp Gold Hollow in her "blues and whites". She was a part of fine memories for many, many people. Much love to all.

Dan, Amy & Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I always really liked her. She had such spunk and a good heart. I have a lot of fond memories of our families doing things together when we were kids. I was so happy when my mom and I ran into her and Lisa a few years back as I often thought about her through the years. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
