My name is Lesa Lathrop. Im one of the granddaughters of Bob Hokanson.
I will not be able to attend the service due to living in Oklahoma and
not having the finances to come up.
I know what his son's are going threw because I lost my mother five years
ago which is the daughter that Bob Hokanson is preceded in death by.
It's hard for a daughter to loose her mother, so I can just imagne its the
same way for son's to loose there father.
I will miss my grandfather a lot. But now he doesn't have to suffer anymore
and he's with the people that love him a lot.
Love always,
Lesa Lathrop
