Dear Danhauer family,
I want to extend my last respects towards your mother. We met at Christian camp working in the kitchen. Her friend Donna Koehler knows me. Even though it was difficult, she worked as hard as she could and I admired her tenacity.(smile)
We got closer the last couple years of her life and am very thankful for that time. I tried to reach her a few times after I moved to Tennessee then realized that maybe she passed away. She is now at rest and I will miss her kind and loving spirit.
With sympathy, Carolyn Sheets

I am sorry for your loss but happy for Flora because I know she is rejoicing!
Flora was a caregiver for my husband in 2020-2121. She was truly a blessing to both of us. She was so kind and caring. I think he was glad to see her come because she would ask him about fishing and his life. And, much as I loved him, it was good to be able to get out a bit and leave him in such good care. She so loved her family and was so proud of them.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. My thots and prayers are with you all at this time. May knowing she is with her Heavenly Father now bring you comfort. She loved the Lord!
I met Flora in 2018 working for Home Instead. She came to mean alot to me as a coworker, as my Sister in Christ and as my long time 'texting buddy' since 2019. She gave the best advice and was my faithful texting friend when ever I needed her, and vise versa. She will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of the matriarch to so many. She was a force to be reckoned with. Her bright light will shine on in the lives of all who loved her and in all she loved. May God grant you His peace.
