Char, May the Goddess bless you and your family at this sad time. You have our deepest sympathies and love.
I am deeply sorry for the family’s loss. Dana was a unique and wonderful individual who truly knew the love of life. His presence will be missed by friends and family alike.
To the family of Mr. Hacker, I read of the loss of your dear loved one, and would like to offer my sincere condolences. Death is an enemy that Our Creator, Jehovah, never intended for us to ever have to deal with-even as the Bible says. Please take comfort in knowing that soon, God, has promised to remove all causes of suffering, pain, sorrow, and even death forever! (Isaiah 25:8) The wonderful future resurrection hope is the promise found at John 5:28,29. May I assure you, I am not trying to give or change your religion. The pain of loss is felt, regardless of religion. May the promises of Our Creator, strengthen and comfort all of you as you cope with the difficult days ahead (2 Corinthians 1:3,4).
” For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him…may have everlasting life.” -John 3:16
To the Hacker family – Dana was a truck driver on my shift at Veltri Trucking and is missed very much. This summer will not be the same with out seeing him ride his bike in to work. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. May you find comfort in the grace of God. – Jeffrey Johnson
