Please accept my deepest condolences for the passing Harriet Hansen….Clayton, SR was a cousin of my father: Raymond Vernon Hansen. My father and mother attended the wedding of Clayton and Harriet yrs ago and my mother said that she & Harriet wore the same dress except one was navy and one was brown…. My grandfather (George Maurice Hansen ) was a brother to Claytons dad.. Please feel free to contact me as I would like to connect with family members on that side of the family…..
I received a phone call just this morning (April 28, 2015) telling me that my lovingly remembered Aunt Hattie had died last month-what a wonderful woman.
Hattie and my uncle Clayton were great people- they allowed me to spend some cherished summer visits at their home-taught me to ride a horse, would make me cream potato and peas, and provide a lot of fun and feeling loved.
A wonderful woman- a cherished memory forever
Daniel E. Hansen -nephew
