I've often said "through adversity come champions." Hannah was a true champion and a model student. It was an honor and inspiration to have her at Kirkwood.

Hannah had a glow about her when you seen her never did you see that she was having a bad day or something bothering her. She has left quite an impact on a community in the short time she was here. My boys said a prayer for her as they will miss her at Fareway as she could always make them smile as well. Rest in peace Hannah....you will be in the minds and hearts of this community forever. Thoughts and prayers to the family but hold dear the memories of the times you shared.

When I think of Hannah I think of her beautiful smile and warm personality. She was always so polite and kind when I would see and talk to her. When I think of Hannah, I remember she and Addy and the whole gang at our house with their beautiful prom dresses on. The girls all smiling, giggling, posing for their senior prom Her personality made those around shine a little brighter and laugh a little harder. I feel fortunate to have known such a charming young lady. God bless you and may your faith carry you through.

I didn't know Hannah. I only just saw her obituary in the Gazette, and for some reason was moved to write here. There is nothing I can say, but I see in her photo that she was a beautiful young girl, and I'm crushed that she didn't have the chance for a longer life. I hope someday the memories of her will bring more smiles than tears to her family and friends.

A whisper in the wind, a star shining brighter than any other, a sunrise not forgotten. Hannah, you are all of these.
To all of Hannah's family, the words " I'm sorry" seem so inadequate right now. Hannah brightened the lives so many.
I was told long ago that when we are through learning, and when we are through teaching, then our time here is done. Hannah taught so much to so many people. Strength, compassion, patience.
I pray for peace and comfort to you

Hannah was one of the most pleasant young women I have met. She never seemed to have a cross word or negative feeling to anyone out in public. She always made people feel like she had known them forever and they where family. Hannah will be greatly missed by everyone who crossed her path.
