In remembrance of a wonderful role model when I was a teenager.

Hanna was a life force and mentor to so many young people at Wellsprings and worked tirelessly to raise funds to keep the school afloat. Although I did not know her well, I admired her tremendously for her kindness, generous heart and compassion for kids. She was a truly amazing humanitarian who we will most likely
never see an angel of her magnitude in this lifetime again

Hanna is a great wise spirit of the finest silver metal, a true sister warrior of the Amethyst Ray. She influenced so many lives. Frequently, when I would attend various meetings, she would be there. She made time for many causes and people. Her passage makes me sad - we miss you on turtle island dear sister! Thanks for your enlightened vision for renewable energy, ecology, the Tiara Street community, Wellsprings School and the environment. Continue your Quest in the starry heavens where...

HAnna was my first wise-woman mentor.. i was 25 and she was 57. She was there to talk to listen and to guide without pushing. During a difficult period in my life, she stood by me and supported me community wise when others turned away or judged. I am so glad i got to take my daughter who was 13 at the time, to meet her and to see what is possible for women when they support and love each other with truth and strength!! She was amazing in too many ways to enumerate, but her place in my heart...

Yourloss is our loss. I only knew Hanna at arms length BUT she was a powerful influence.

When my mother left my family when I we were approximately eight and two back in the mid seventies, Hanna and Doug became family, but more than that, Hanna became surrogate mother, teacher, mentor, godmother, and the list goes on.... She is loved by my children, and I only wish she could have seen my grand babies. I will miss her deeply.

What a lovely person and beautifully written testimony to a life that was both rare and well-lived. Here´s to all the gifts she left and to the hope that many will follow in her footsteps.

A few years ago, Hanna (who knew I also loved the music of Dvorak) invited me to join her for a concert by the Eugene Symphony at which they were playing Dvorak's 9th symphony. Knowing how much that music meant to Hanna made it an extraordinary occasion. The performance was outstanding, and Hanna's joy was palpable. She even stood up, no easy effort for her, to join in the standing ovation. Being with her that evening is one of the most poignant of the 12 years of memories of Hanna that I...
