To live is to suffer to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering

Don Hanson, [PACT]
Cal I've had respect for you for many years. I admire your courage and strength in all that you have accomplished. Even though we worked together through PACT I have thought of you as a friend as well. Meant a lot to me to keep in touch after I retired. I was upset and greatly saddened when I read your obituary in the St Journal. Be aware of the Army of Angels surrounding you and those praying for you and your family that you may not be aware of. Peace God Bless Always Love
