Please accept my condolences. As I read the obituary for Mr. Hagen, I was impressed by the full life he lived. Still, 90 years of life is too short. We can be thankful that our grand Creator, Jehovah plans to restore his original purpose and make it possible for all mankind (including our loved ones we have lost in death) to live forever under perfect conditions. (Matthew 6:10; Job 14:14 & 15). It is my hope that this message brings you comfort and hope.
may the lord be with you all at this hard time , what a blessing to have him for 90 years . just remember there is no more pain for him now god bless you .
When I was a kid, I lived next door to Andy and Lois with my family, Dick & Kay Biddlecome and my brothers Ricky and Marty. Oddly my daughter and her family moved to Sammamish several years ago. I have been here the last three weeks, for some reason, read the obits and seeing Andy’s wanted to send my condolences for your loss. I am leaving before the 15th, but will share the article with my mother and Ric (my dad and brother, Marty are both deceased. Carol (fredbull@comcast.net)
I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Death is one of the most difficult things we face in life but may it comfort you to know that others care. I have found great encouragement when reading the beautiful words penned in the Bible at Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” May this promise bring your family comfort in this difficult time.
