Condolence: Willard, Mom knew each of us by our middle name and she was SO sincere when she used it as I am now. I feel very blessed to have grown up in the Christensen home and learned the lessons in life. You along with Jim have many traits of our Father who I most respected. You took me ice fishing for the first time I remember. You didn't have to but you did. You were so passionate about fishing and hunting. You live in our hearts and I know that Jo Ellen had that wonderful smile that she always had as you met again. The girls both have the same one. You were a good brother, a better father and Dad would say "A great son". We will think of you and speak stories when we get together, My heart has been sorrowful since I knew of your departure and you will be missed. Your brother, Alan

Condolence: This is going to be a sorrowful day for all of with you leaving us in such a short time.
I should have done this, I should have that, now it is too late. Now yo0u have to be with Mom, Dad, and Jo to play pinochle. You sat next tome at the VFW, the last time I saw you, this will stick in my mind for the rest of my life. I wish I had known earlier of your illness so I could have spent more time with you lately.
Love you Brother.
