Not sure what to say?

To Hanna's family: I knew Hanna from the Strong Women exercise class at Healthworks in Porter Sq, Cambridge. She was a lovely friend and a great inspiration, overcoming physical challenges -- and more. We also discovered we shared the same hairdresser! She was a dear, whom I'll long remember. My sincere condolences to you all.

Dear Woody and family,

Hanna gave happiness to all who knew her and with all the students at North House, they were legion. She lived with courage and grace. I am glad her death was peaceful with her loved ones around her.
I am fortunate to have seen her at Woody's 80th birthday party.

You are in my thought and prayers.

Hi Knew Hanna from Brookhaven, whe was the dear friend of Rev. Anna Caskey in the Parkinson Group. I'll remember her as a gentle, woman with a big smile each and every time she introduced me to her daughter. My prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

Dear Woody and family, It was a shock to hear the sad news about Hanna. She was such a vibrant, intelligent and warm person and will be missed by many, many friends. Even in these last years when she had difficulty walking she courageously managed to attend the musical events, and gatherings for friends, which meant so much to her. Woody you were certainly her beloved Rock of Gibraltar. Please let me know if there is to be a memorial service. I send sympathy and love to all of you.
