Hannah sounds like a magnificent little girl.  I am very sorry for your loss.

Thank you for passing this on, and for reminding me of what really matters.
~Jill

Thank you for sharing this.  What a wonderful tribute to Hannah.  Your words, along with those in the memorial touched my heart and as you said reminded me to enjoy my children and to be grateful.  Hannah and her family are inspirations.  I will keep them in my prayers.
~Blanca

I wept. Thanks for sharing this amazing little girl's story.
~Bonnie

Thank you for sharing the story of Hannah.  What a brave little girl.  My heart goes out to her family.  I am participating in the American Cancer Society Walk for Life on April 29 and 30 and will light a luminaria in honor of Hannah and her name will be read aloud during a beautiful ceremony along with others being honored.
~Deb

I am not easily moved to tears but your eulogy had me sobbing and  sobbing and sobbing.
I can't even begin to imagine the pain her poor mother must be in.
~Shez

Wow.  Good wishes to your family and Hannah's.  What a perfect legacy to leave... it is definitely a good reminder to me, as I've had sick family members all week (transient illnesses, thank the powers that be) who have been needy and whiny, as well as lots of time caring for a friends' children, and I've been feeling grumpy and a little resentful.  This renews something in me to keep priorities in order and be grateful for every minute I have with my family and the other children who are important in our lives.  Thank you for sharing Hannah and her spirit with us - it has made a difference to me today.  Please send this to Hannah's mom if you think it will help at all.
~Pam

Your memorial to your dear friend Hannah touched my heart and brought me to tears.  Our deepest sympathy to you and your family as well as to her mom and brother.  What a difficult, unimaginable loss.
~Kelly

Loved this; read it immediately when I saw it; thanks for sharing; thanks for the reminder of how to live life; thanks for making THIS a special newsletter dedicated to Hannah.
~Stacy

Wow, this brought tears to my eyes. My condoleances to you and Hannah's family.

I'd like to make a bracelet in memory of Hannah that says, "Make every moment count", as per your message. I think I'll even call it the Hannah bracelet, and put some information from your post in the description if it's okay from her mother. I'd also like to make her mother a bracelet, or I could make her a 1-word pendant if she'd rather, customized for her.
~Barb

She is a beautiful child and you've written a touching memorial to her and her family.  Thanks for sharing it.  I passed it along to family.
~Nancy

I'm so sorry to hear about Hannah.  Her family has been through so much in such a short period of time.  Please know you are all (Hannah's family and your family) in my thoughts and prayers.
~Cristina

Thank you for this. It meant a lot because my 11 year old daughter has HIV.
~Daneille

This is sad and beautiful.  You all have our sympathy.
~Chanin

How sad.  This makes you want to hug your kids to you and not let go.  
~Sheri

She sounds like a very special person, her family and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.  Please be assured that in memory of Hannah a little extra love and gratitude for the priviledge that they are will grace my childrens lives.
~Aileen

Thank you so much for sharing Hannah's life story with me.  Her life's story is such an inspiration to me and certainly a time to reflect.  May God Bless Diana and Hayden along with everyone else who knew Hannah and everyone who reads her memorial.
