Dear Marion, Mary Ann, Susan and Family,
As your neighbor all my childhood, all I have is wonderful memories of Theresa. Kind, loving, a great cook, on and on. May knowing she is with the Lord ease your pain. Love, Crissie (Hansen) Benson
Crissie – Thank you for sharing your memories. We definitely had the best neighborhood ever. God Bless you and your families – I will pass on your message to my dad.
Mary Ann
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God keep you in His loving hands.
Debbie and Jerry Seleni (Dani’s sister and brother-in-law)
Debbie and Jerry – It was really nice to hear from you. This is such a sorrowful time but yet we are also blessed with so much. We have been thiinking of you as well – forever bonded by Justin and Shawn. I am sure that in some way, my mom is looking out for Justin now.
We also wanted to let you know that we have fallen in love with the Lake Placid area – you may have heard from Jim Lawson that we have spent the last two summers vacationing on Loon Lake. We visited the Wild Place – I think Jim said that Jerry works there? Nathan (our youngest) got a kick out of the bench that said “Leonard Dear Please Meet Me Here” and he has decided that would be a great way to propose to someone (someday) !
God bless you and your family and thank you for your kind words. I will pass them on to my dad.
Mary Ann
