Condolences
The family of Vivien Ramona Har (Hadland) has received the following condolences.
So, so sorry to hear about your mom. For many years, I considered her one of 4 moms we all had when the Hars, Keehns, Ryans and Benikes all camped together. She was an amazing, sweet, kind lady who was greatly loved. She will be missed so much.
Vivian is a wonderful soul and I was lucky enough to grow up as her neighbor. She took us camping at white water and taught me how to hunt for morels. After a successful hunt, I watched her fill the kitchen sink with them and she taught me how to cook and prepare them. Still one of my best food memories ever.
She and Jack spent many an evening playing cards at our table, or us at theirs. They shared with us their love of dominoes, dahlias, Wille Nelson, and became more than just neighbors. They were extended family.
Vivian was always a warm and positive friend to our family and I hope she and Jack are reunited and dancing up a storm.
To Deb, Tom and the Har family,
Our sympathies for your loss. Mrs Har gave joy to so many people.
Cindy and Dave sorry I am not able to be there I am in Atlanta visiting my cousin so sorry to hear of your Mom passing our thoughts and prayers are with your family God Bless
Dear Vivien’s Family
I send my sincerest sympathy for your loss. Although I didn’t know her well I enjoyed meeting her the few times we talked. It’s been over 20 years since I’ve had any contact with the Hadland family and Kens passing. May your memories keep Vivian alive in your hearts.

Cindy, Dave and family;
We are so sorry for your loss. It is tough to lose a parent regardless of the circumstances. Thankfully the memories of their love for us, and ours for them, lives on.
Lynn and family.
Your mom was an important part of my teenage years in Minnesota. I adored your parents. Oddly, but maybe not, your mom and dad were married on my mom's birthday. I know how much you will all miss her. My heart breaks for each of you. I imagine your mom and dad are ruling the dance floor in Heaven. May God comfort all of you with fond memories.
Love and hugs from your teenage pal,
Raelyn
Cindy and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Hopefully warm memories will comfort you now and in the future. I loved your Mom! Whenever I think of Vivien, I see her in those cute black Tommy Hilfiger jeans, looking so stylish! She was a classy lady! She will be missed by many. May her soul rest in peace.
Many thoughts and prayers to your family and condolences. Hope you find time to enjoy some wonderful memories of your mom ?

My sincere condolences to the family; especially Cindy, Dave and the boys. Vivian lived a wonderful life creating lots of memories for everyone to cherish. She was such a joy to be around even as her health failed her. I remember after your Dad passed away wondering how your Mom would handle his absence because those two were inseparable; you never saw one without the other. Thankfully along with her faith & family she more than managed the remaining years until they were reunited again this week. I am positive they are tearing up the dance floor once more! God Bless!!
I love you so much Grandma! I will forever miss you! I know you are with Grandpa now and at peace. May you watch over us all as we hope to continue to make you proud!
Cindy;
Very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I hope you have many wonderful memories of her.
