I lost a good friend in Christ last Saturday / Sis
Bob my good friend and brother in christ went to be with th Lord last Saturday, he was working in the attic of an old house, and he was electrictued. I know He is in heaven, but it seems the hurt of loosing you has started all over again with him. After you died Bob he started calling me Sis, because I told him one day at church, what I was going to miss about you is having a brother. He told me Ann you still have a brother, I will be your brother, and for that day on he called me Sis. I really loved him, and I really going to miss him almost as much as I missed you. So I you see someone walking around with Jesus, talking his ears off about the Bible, tell him I miss him dearly. Because that is what he did, he was a Deciple hear on earth, and when he got to too talking about God, he would just go on and on and on. But he was allways there when ever you needed him. He was 32 years old, so if you can get a message to him tell him I love and miss him. Sis, to Bob and Greg only. Close
Bob, we have so much to be proud of. Our daughters have grown up to beautiful young woman. Nikki just called and told me the good news about her grades. She is doing so good in nursing school. I could go on and on about how proud I am, but you already know. I thank God that she is doing something for herself in life that I never did. She will be a good nurse. And Tasha is the best Mother is the world. She and Clancy have done such a good job with Brooke. They both have birthdays coming up and I knwo you are with them each day. Once again thank you for giving me two daughters that we are so proud of, they have made a good life for themselves. I only wish you could be hear to see them growe and to see how much they took after you. ALWAYS BE WATCHING OVER THEM as I know you do. I miss you. I am doing okay, my life has changed so much these last two years, sometimes my head spins it is going so fast. I miss you so much, I am happy now but I still think of you every day and always will, you are a part of me forever. Still keep an eye on me, I love you Rita

Things are going good --- We've just been busy working.
I sure do miss you!
Brooke is doing really good: She made the honor roll at school again and she is still doing good in gymnastics! She's growing up so fast but she's still my baby girl! You would be very proud of her! She misses you very much and talks about you and Mr. Chris quite often. I am so glad that she will remember the good times that she's had the chance to have with you. She will carry that with her forever and I'm so thankful for that. You have taught her alot and touched her life forever. I just want say "Thank You" for that....It really means alot to me.
Clancy and I are doing good! He's been very busy with his lawn care business and working alot....He plans to go out on his own with that next year -- SO, WISH US LUCK! I am still working at the same place, I love it!!!! That's really all we do is work, cut grass and go to Brooke's gym meets! Brooke has alot of gym meets coming up, so that's keep us busy for a while, too....She loves it!
I really miss you, daddy! I miss talking to you. I know you hear me when I talk to you --- but sometimes, that's just not the same!
So, I decided to just give you an ear-ful in this email. hahahahaha I had to fill you in on what's been going on....hahaha
I'll write you soon and let you know what else has been going on....

I Still Miss You Daddy
It's been some time, since you've been gone I thought by now that I would be strong I think of you and I shed my tears I wonder who now, will still my fears
Your memories remain, inside my heart My soul it feels, to be torn apart I told you secrets that I hold so dear I only wish that you would be here
I miss you and love you
So many things that I could'nt say And now that you're gone I wish for one more day!!
blown by / Nikki Hansen (Daughter)
Hey daddy, I'm sorry I'm not as up to date as everyone else. I dont feel bad though, I think about you all the time, every holiday, season, every time I smell BBQ. My life is going so fast right now, I've already been out on my own for almost a year now... time is going by too fast. It does'nt get better with time... It gets worse because every day I know that I am one day closer to walking down the aisle without you and I am one day closer to having to tell my kids about how wonderful you were and knowing deep down inside that they will never know how truly wonderful you are. In a way, I hope the pain never goes away, and I hope it isn't replaced with another feeling... because along with the pain comes the feeling of pride.. and how proud I am to be your daughter and to have parts of your personality and your features. I love you daddy, please wait for me.. I need you. Close

The holidays are tough / Tasha Hansen-Joubert (Daughter)
Hey daddy, well it's a year today. It doesn't seem like a year has passed. We all miss you so much and with the holidays, it's getting even harder than I imagined. It's just not the same without you. It's so different and very hard to get used to. Brooke is doing really good! She's a very tough little girl. I'm sure you and Mr. Chris are very proud of her, the way she's dealing with things. Well dad, I miss you and I love you. I can't tell you that enough. Please keep watching over us and helping me make the decisions that you would make. See you in my dreams!!! I love you! Close

All most a Year / Sis (Sister In Law )
Well Bob summer has past, and Fall of the year has fallen on us. It seems like yesterday, you were hear with us , we were going to the fall race at Talladaga with our little pop up camper. But those days are over now. Now we got to try a face Thanksgiving and another Christmas without you. But you will be in our hearts and minds, but it want be the same. You are really going to like what Rita & I are giving Mom and Dad for Christmas. We are doing a show of pictures from the time they first got togather untill now. It kind of hard going throught the old pictures. But it's good too seening how close we all are. things change through out the years, but one thing will never change, and that is the way we all feel for each other, and the closeness of a our family. Time and space can come between us and and even death, but it can't take away the time we shared in the past and the love we have for each other. Happy Birthday!!! Close
An old son / Nikki Hansen (daughter)
"It was just an old hand me down ford, with 3 push column, with a dent in the door, i would turn sharp and i'd make it cry, he'd say, take it easy boy your doing just fine, a young boy, two hands on the wheel, i was king of hte road, when daddy let me drive'' I just heard that song on the radio, and it made me think of all the times you let me drive around the lake when momma didnt want me to. she'd get so mad and wouldnt even wanna come ride with us.i wish i was 10 again Close
hey, uncle bob i wrote this poem when we were down there for your funeral and i have been to chicken to put it on here until now. imagine that! i hope you like it and i hope it describes the real you! i will never forget when we talked on the phone and how you tried to get my dad to take markie and i down there!
My Uncle
I never got to meet him, but I heard a lot of stories. He always had a pleasant heart, Racing and cooking were what he loved, He worked hard and loved to play. Life with him was lived to the fullest. He was stubborn as heck, but was truly loved. He had to go and it is hard for memories I won't have. But in my heart he will forever lay. Memories I have are as strong as love and last forever. In heaven above he watches us with a smile on his face. 12/6/04

Missing you / Tasha Hansen-Joubert (daughter)
Hey dad, how's it going? I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd get up and talk to you. Things have been kind of rough here with Clancy's dad passing away. Everytime I think that things are getting easier and better, they just get harder. I've had feelings come back that I didn't ever expect to have again. I miss you so much daddy, and I just wish that I could have told you how much I loved you that weekend that we were there before your accident. I know you knew how special you were to me and how much I looked up to you for guidance and support. You've taught me so much and I'm very grateful and thankful for that. You have helped me to be strong for the past couple of months and weeks. Sometimes I just feel like I'm gonna fall apart, but then I think about how you would handle things and I hold my head up high and tell myself that everything's gonna be o.k. Sometimes I walk in our Nascar room at home and I see pictures and all of the different things that we've shared together and, at times, I just want to break down and cry, but I just look at your picture and everyting in there and Smile, because I know that's what you would do. I thought by now that it would be easier but I've came to realize that this is reality and life. And without our ups and downs, it would be nothing. So, thank you daddy for being right beside me and helping me get through last week with Clancy's dad. It's made me alot stronger for alot of people, but you'll always be the strongest. Just know that all these years people thought that you were wrapped around my finger, they never knew how wrapped I was around yours. Take care of Mr. Chris and show him around...I know that you both have front row seats to the nascar races! I love you daddy!!! Close
