I am deeply sadden by the tragic death of such a beautiful young lady. I last saw Hannah when she was 5 or 6 years old, and Linda told me she was a handful and they had nicknamed Hannah (Hurricane Hannah). She was so full of life even at 5 and 6 years old. Please know, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you feel the love that surrounds you both as you deal with loss of your beautiful daughter.

Our hearts go out to you for the loss of your most beautiful and wonderful daughter Hannah. It is so hard to lose a child and no words could possible console you at such a tragedy. The only thing is that one day you will all meet again. We are the family of Kristen Hevener, she was one of the other kids in the car with Hannah. She is in the hospital with her own injuries. Our prayers and sympathy go out to you and hope that time will heal your pain. We have not had any dry eyes since this tragedy happened. Our heart goes out to her boyfriend as well. May he and Hanna's parents and family find some comfort from family and friends and may g-d bless you all in this most devastating time.
