Alma Mae was my neighbor with whom I enjoyed a wonderful friendship for many years. She knew she could call on me for just about anything and I was happy to help her. We had many lively conversations about KU basketball. I will miss my friend and neighbor, but know she is enjoying being in the company of her dear, precious Jesus. Thank you, Alma Mae, for your friendship.
I worked with Alma Mae at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City, MO for several years. She was my best friend. I visited her several times after they moved to Wichita. I lost contact with her after they moved to California. Located her several Years ago in Clearwater and talked to her on the phone several times but never got out to see her. She was a good friend and I am so sorry for your loss.
Alma Mae was such a wonderful friend. We met each other working in the same office building. I loved her like a sister. I am so sorry I did not know about her passing. I want to tell Kevin and family how sorry I am. God bless the whole family. Love you Alma Mae Hassler.
