Leo, Sandie, Sherrie & Rick, I am so sorry to hear that Diane passed away, I didn't even know she was sick. Diane, Brenda Gardner, Kathy Smith & I were best of friends in high school and had some wonderful times together. I will always have fond memories of her and our trip to Europe as well as sneaking out in the middle of the night. She was a great gal and will be missed. My thoughts are with all of you. Warmly, Colleen

Rick- so sorry to hear about Hanni. I just talked to her a couple weeks ago at Ace Hardware and she was as happy and friendly as always. I wish I was in town to attend the gathering tomorrow but our prayers are with you. From my entire family our deepest condolences - The Hepker family

Sorry to read about Hanni.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Diane well. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Diane. She and I use to ride our horses together when we were kids. I have fond memories of those days with Diane. She will be greatly missed by many people.

I so enjoyed the short time that I shared with Hanni and Rick at the cabin....my highest compliment....Good People....my sincere condolence to Rick and the entire family....

Leo, Sandie, and Sharri, as well as Rick...sorry to hear about Diane. I was blessed to have the Hansen family as neighboors..take care all of you.

My thoughts and prayers are with Hanni's family. So sorry to hear of her loss. I knew Hanni for just a short time while attending college at UNI, but she left a lasting impression. I fondly remember her as being full of life and fun. I can still recall her infectous giggle and the sparkle in her mischievous eyes as we plotted our next adventure.

I worked with Diane at Ace Hardware. I trained her when she hired on. Boy we had some laughs when learning the new registers! I miss our get togethers after work and laughs we had. She will be missed!\\\\r\\\\nRick, Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers .

Hanni was always fun to be arounf. I have so many memories but my favr=orite one is when she won the money from Fun Days. She would laught so hard when telling that story. So sorry for your loss Rick.
Love Julia Coons

Sending my sympathy to you all. Diane and Brenda Gardner and I had some great fun in high school. I remember a sleepover at Diane's... of course noone slept. Fondly, Paula Kjar Bush

Rick sorry for your loss.I don't know if you remember me or not as it has been 10 yrs. or more since I've seen you or maybe at Roger's funeral, but don't remember much from that day.My prayers are with you,be strong.It will be very hard to adjust with out her.

Rick, I was shocked and very sad to read about Hanni this morning. She was a Very Special Lady who always had a warm spot in my heart. I will Greatly miss her. May God Bless her and comfort you during this time....

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

Rick, We were so very sorry to hear about Hanni's passing. We have you in our thoughts and prayers.

I guess Bob's Hideaway is finally closed. Sorry Bob, but I think Hanni might be my first memory. A cute lil girl with the snarl of a bulldog. My condolences Rick, I didn't know there was a problem. I was shocked,, she was a gem, one of a kind.

So very sorry to see of Hanni's passing in the paper. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Rick and family.

I often think about the fun Hanni and I had working at Bob's Hideaway, the trips to the Oktoberfest and also when we were Cub Scout Den Mothers in the late 70's.

We will miss Hanni's smile and visiting with her when either of us stop at Ace.

Luke & Ginny Luchauer

I am a former classmate of Diane's. I remember how much fun she was in high school. My husband, Dave, was in Sandie's class of '68. Our condolences to your family on your loss.

Diane was a regular customer at CVS, she would come to my register and we would laugh and sometime hold up the line with laughter. I will miss seeing her.

With Deepest Sympathy
Diana

I hadn't seen Hanni in years but we had some good times at the Horseless Carriage when I moved back from Miami. I never saw her "not" laughing. What a beautiful soul...
