On behalf of the whole Hagen family, we are so sorry for your loss. Your family was part of our neighborhood and since we lived on a “dead end” we were all pretty close growing up. Your mom and dad, and your dad being our principal at school will always be remembered. Your mom was so blessed to have you take care of her, and give her grandchildren and greats too! May she rest in peace with our Heavenly Father and others who have gone on before her. You know she had quite the gang waiting for her with open arms and angel wings. ♥️
Mark, Dawn & family. So very sorry for your loss, but knowing she went home to be with the lord (& your dad) should bring you some comfort. Love, hugs & prayers.
Sorry for your loss our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sending prayers, love and support for this amazing woman. So many fond memories growing up next door to Mrs. Garland. She truly was a beautiful woman. 🙏🏻❤️
