Hannah Danielle Rowley 9/8/1995 - 4/27/2004

Welcome to Hannah's Web Page. It has been provided to help keep family and friends updated about Hannah.Hannah was diagnosed with ALL leukemia on July 16th,1999. She underwent treatment,until June 22nd,2001. At that time the doctors diagnosed her with a rare ocular relapse(leukemia was hiding in her eye the whole 2 years!) She began treatment for relapse and finished on June 11th, 2003. We had 6 weeks of freedom!! Then on Aug. 4th, 2003 she had a full bone marrow relapse. She was treated with even a stronger chemo and remained in the hospital for almost 6 weeks. She continued getting treated on a three week schedual and on Jan.4th, 2004 She had another full bone marrow relapse.We chose to give her the best quality of life as an out patient (her biggest desire) a kind of maintance dose of chemo.We are trusting in God for His will for her life and we'll keep hoping for the best life and good times for Hannah. Hannah is a very gifted little girl. She loves horses and is a very talented little rider. She loves dogs and agilitly sports for the dogs, she is very crafty and has great fashion sense. She is such a blessing to all who meet her. She has always loved Jesus and accepted him as her personal Lord and Savior at the age of 3. On April 27th,2004 the Lord took Hannah to Heaven to live with Him forever. Though we miss her so much now, we know we will be reunited with her for all eternity because of the fact that we ,like Hannah, have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Even the longest life on earth is a vapor compared to eternity and all that is waiting for those that love Him. God bless you.

Well, Today little Hannah would be 13 years old!! This is such a difficult day for all of us just wondering how big she would be and the ways she would have changed. It's a day where we realize just how much life isn't fair. It has been a day filled with tears as we watch the videos we took of her and simply miss her amazing laughter in our home and her irreplaceable joy. She truly was one of a kind.
We feel especially bad for Abby because this wasn't our plan. We planned to have Abby and her big sister together their whole lives to share all the memories with each other and help each other through good and bad. Instead, Abby is kind of forced into being an only child. Much different from an only child who has never had the chance to be anything but an only child. Abby knew the fun and trials of having a big sister and then suddenly, she is left without a sibling.
Our God is faithful though, only He could help us survive for almost four and a half years without Hannah in our midst and still have a peace and a joy that passes understanding. We have seen His grace and mercy in our daily comings and goings. And we know without a shadow of a doubt that Hannah is happy, well and whole in the presence of the Lord. We know that fair isn't a promise in this life but His love and help is and we do see His love and help through the scriptures and the friends and family that still share God's love with us and remember to pray for our family and even share stories they remember about our amazing little Hannah. We also feel especially grateful that we were given Hannah for eight and a half years. She battled leukemia for nearly five years we realize that children are a gift from God and are essentially on loan from Him. She grew and changed so much in those five years and blessed us more than words can express! We realize that many people whose children get cancer, don't get five years and we pray for their loss.
We are still looking forward to the day when we are reunited with Hannah in Heaven and get to see Jesus face to face. We had a plan to meet at the Tree of Life and we know it's beauty is indescribable. The Bible says that it is split with the river of life running through the middle of it and on it's leaves are twelve kinds of fruit. All this is proceeding from the throne of God and the Lamb. Amazing!! No wonder why Hannah smiled so big as she said "I'm In, I'm in"! What an awsome sight to behold!!!
We pray that your family is growing closer to the Lord through the things life throws your way. Remember,it's a choice we make and God will honor all that He says in the Bible.Choose to serve Him with all that is within you, He is worthy to be praised. God bless you, Susi, Jerry, Abby and Hannah in Heaven:)
