Ginger,
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. It pains me to even write this letter. Both of you shared the same selfless commitment of love for one another and others. Countless people were touched by your encouragement, support and dedication. The world is now missing someone wonderful, but I am comforted by the knowledge that he is in a better place than this one. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for everything the two of you have done for the lives of so many people.
My deepest condolences,
Dean Ogden

Mr and Mrs Hamm were our neighbors for many years as a kid. They were both so kind. He also worked at my Jr High and was just as nice there. It would always bring a smile to my face when ever I would run into them through out the years. Prayers and Love sent! RIH Mr. Hamm and God Bless you Mrs. Hamm ❤
