Heart felt condolences to the Hanna clan especially Alan. Our daughter is part of your clan and clearly loves her family. Special times as Debbie retired and enjoy her time gardening and putting up her bounty for the labors. Clearly a lesson for all of us to call and visit the people/friends we have, make the time …..
