Sweet Hanna ~ You are so missed! As you celebrate your third heavenly birthday there are many people here on earth who are celebrating your life. You are an amazing little girl...so loved and so missed!
I hope you and Chloe are having some great times together...even better than the fun you all had playing wet barbies.
love,
Christy

You are so wise to realize what a wonderful job God chose you for.

Our loss helped us know what we had and our pain helped us remember the joy. We watched our children touch so many people as we stored up our treasures in Heaven.

Mary Caitlyn says she and Hanna still talk....Mary Caitlyn came in from playing today and said an orange and black butterfly was following her around, she said everywhere she went so did the butterfly! Amazing and unusual since it's October and we saw our last butterfly weeks ago! I told her Hanna sent the butterfly to see what she was up too...Mary smiled a huge smile...I thanked Hanna for the sign. We love you baby girl!

A few weeks ago I went out on the boat with mom and dad and Steph with all the kids when we pulled up there was a butterfly that flew all around us before we even put the boat in the water. Once we all got in that same butterfly got on with us we all looked at eachother and it took Tori to tell us it was her bestfriend and she wanted to ride the boat to of course she was talking about Hanna she seems to be with us all everywhere we go and always in our hearts. Take care of yourself and eachother may God continue you Bless you.

This is a post for the community in Simpsonville who have provided endless support to the Evans family.

My husband and I hosted our Building U group (Bible Study through Southeast) last night, and while watching the DVD on the importance of studying the bible with others, Dave Stone mentioned a funeral he did for a 6 yr old girl with cancer a few weeks before the taping. While most everyone else in the group was oblivious to who the child was or the impact she had on so many, I knew he was speaking of Hanna.

The reason he pointed this out was the discuss the amazing family the Evans family has found in their neighborhood. He talked about how the community gathered together to help in everyway they could. And when there was nothing left to do, you stood in prayer, asking for God to take control in this difficult time. You truly are an awesome group of people who have truly stepped up when others may choose to avoid being a part what the Evans family has experienced.

While I know those of us at the hospital who knew Hanna helped make her hospitalizations a little easier by giving her with something to smile about each day and were truly blessed to know this family and little girl, YOU are the ones who helped the entire family during this time, and continue to stand by them with your prayers and support. This family is so blessed to have you during this time of need, and I can only pray that during my time of need, I will have people gather around me as you have the Evans family.

Praying that God will watch over the Evans family as they try to find peace and regain their strength, and this community as they give their time and compassion to this family.

Hi Bob,Jennie,Sara,Nancy,Mike and twins,
Just wanted to let you all know that I think and pray for you all everyday. I think of Hanna often and even though I never got to know her that much I feel that I did through your writing, I've heard a song a few times that makes me think of what Hanna is doing in heaven right now. It is about her saving us a spot around the breakfast table and how she is dancing on the Milkly Way, I don't know the artist that recorded it, but I'm sure that if you look it up under the title "The Breakfast Table" you'll find it, you'll like it. Love and Prayers. Aunt Sandy

I was cleaning out the playroom on 7West today, as we prepare to redo the area, and came across a bunch of marbles. It immediately spurred a memory in my head of Hanna showing me how to paint with marbles. I remember she had the box with the paper taped neatly in the bottom, dropped the marbles in the paint, and showed me how to move the box just right to make a beautiful piece of art. Hanna was so crafty and creative, and what a great teacher... Keeping your family in my prayers--

Jenn and family, thank you for the last journal entry. As always - it is so well written. You definitely have a gift from God for sharing your story. I am sure that God has plans for your story in the future - in his time. It will bring comfort and strength to any who read it. You and Rob have been such an inspiration and strength for the last two years+. You may feel that through the journal you were releasing some stress or anxiety for yourselves and keeping notes for Hanna as she went through this journey. A journal now to be shared with Sarah and any other siblings that you will be blessed with so they will always know their oldest sister. But Jenn, you and Rob have touched so many lives and helped so many other parents and family members to know that they too can make it through whatever it is that they must travel. To see you two together in good times and bad, sickness and health - what a great example of the love that a married couple can share. A journey to be walked through together and you both have been such an example of that love and devotion - to each other, to your children. We have all learned so much from both of you. Yes, Hanna touched many lives, but Jenn and Rob - you also have touched many, many lives - with encouragement, strength, inspiration and love. We all continue to cover you and your family in prayer. We wish the best that life has to offer and know that Hanna is happy in heaven - and yes, I agree with Rob - it's only an instant to her when you see her again in heaven. We love you all. God Bless and look forward to seeing you soon.

Although we don't know each other, I want you to know that I have followed Hannah's story for several months and have held your family in my prayers daily. I check your website every day or two and understand that you feel it's time to let this go.

Although I will miss your postings, I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I will remember you each time my girls start to get on my nerves or wear me out.

May God bless your family in the coming years.

Hanna and her family will continue to touch my life even without the journal entries to check and the messages to you that I continue to pray for you all. I already miss Hanna and will miss all of you, even though I have not known any of you in person. Your sprirts will live in my life forever. Each person we meet in our life has some purpose, and I don't have to think too hard to see the purpose that knowing Hanna and you through caring bridge served in my life. May God bless you always!

Rob, Jen and Sarah,
You have so much love in your hearts. It is so heartwarming to read your journal entry because though I can not imagine your pain and loss, I am inspired by your faith and strength. I know, because you are living proof, that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. So, God bless you and thank you. I too can't wait to meet and hug Hanna.
Love,

As I read your entry a song by Garth Brooks came to mind
The Dance
Written by: - Tony Arata

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

I loved him very much and talking to his mother brings back many memories ( bad and peaceful). All of this sends me your way with sadness of the loss of your hanna.

Know that many of us stop by every now & again - not always leaving messages - but hope that you feel the love that the world has for you, the family that Hanna left behind. Soon, in our Lord's eyes you will be with her again.

Good morning,
I haven't written in a while but please know that I check in daily, as I think about you guys every day. Quite a while back when you posted the picture of Hanna holding the banannas on Easter morning, with that big sweet smile on her face and you can see Rob in the background smiling too, I printed it out and hung it on our family's bulletin board. It still hangs there today and serves as our reminder of a special little girl and helps my family keep focus on how precious life truly is. I know Hanna is in Heaven but I struggle in her passing. I apologize for feeling this way and know that I am suppose to say things that will somehow help you with your grief, and as a mother I cannot begin to fathom the depth of that kind of grief, but today I just want the world to know that I AM SAD!!!!!!!!

Your family is such a remarkable family. What a truly awesome thing to do for other families. Hanna would think that was the perfect thing to do with the money. She is truly smiling down on your decision. I think of you guys all the time, and continue to pray for your family. One thing because of Hanna, I know that what I do in teaching these precious children, I do make a difference in their lives and just to see them smile makes a bad day great!!!
Love you guys and kisses to Sarah!

Thinking about you today, remembering pictures of a beautiful little lady named Hanna. Thinking of her family and how much more they must miss that smile, those eyes, so I just wanted you to know that even strangers have not forgotten this little girl. And your gift is wonderful and generous. It is all we can do at times just take our little one's mind off of all that they are going through, we would turn ourselves inside out for a smile from our little warriors. So I believe that this is wonderful and the smiles will be too many to count. Praise the Lord.

Rob & Jen �

What a generous life time gift for another hurting family. Memories that you can�t put a price on ! Yes, I am sure Hanna is excited, and saying � thanks mom & dad - be happy - I love you �

I am sure your Florida vacation will be some of the best memories of your family.
Treasure the photos - they will be valued memories for Sarah some day.

Jen - I think God will take care of your �spare� time - ha ha ! What spare time ?
This is when you will just have to trust Him.
I hate that � being in God�s waiting room � But he DOES know what he is doing.

Sarah - have you been dancing in the pool lately ? It was fun, and you were adorable ! Your great grandma sure loved it !

Take care and hang in there you guys.

Love in Christ

I think about hanna as our pay it forward girl. She has really opened my eyes even more to that concept.I had the pleasure of some of the workers from emhe come into my store today. I shared with them my thought and feelings when I was at the build this week, and how I thought of hanna. I felt that energy! I love you all so much- wish we lived closer.

Jen and family, you are so in our thoughts. Glad you went camping and boating last weekend and the Barbie show too. Doug is in Korea now, we got to spend a weekend with him and immediate family on the 4th at Nolin. Enjoyed Carrie and Cassie coming in. Hope we can all get together the next time, I know Sarah and Anna would have a good time together. You and all your family are in our prayers as you go through this journey of grief and try to move on w/life. You are so special - Hanna was so blessed to have you and Rob as her parents. Jen I know that you know that she is w/Nan and grandma and the other siblings that God blessed you with but didn't make it through birth. Those children are also with Hanna. She is so blessed to not only have had you, Rob and Sarah, but in Heaven with Jesus she has so many family members too. I know that this does not make it easier - but I do look forward to seeing the children that were not born to me in heaven. I am sure they are there for me to love when I get there. We love you - and even though we have not lost a child that has been with us too - we are feeling pain for you. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

To a family that has touched my heart, I have been reading your site for a while now but felt the need to write today to thank you for reminding me not to complain about school shopping and the things for school. ( which I have been doing ) I am a pediatric nurse so I have witnessed all too often what having a child with cancer does to a family and the loss of a child as well. I am still in awe at what strength and courage these families have. Just from reading your entries I am so happy for Hanna that she had parents like you to love her and I am so sorry for your loss. I am a mother and can't even begin to imagine your pain. But one day we will all understand why. Until then you must find comfort in knowing you did everything for your little girl and she is now running and playing. I hope time helps you to deal with it better although you will always miss her. My prayers go out to you!

On my way back to the office I thought about you, rob and sarah. The path of this family was not the same but family had a extreme loss that left a family aching for there lost loved one. there family was not the same type of death but none the less it was an aweful loss. with me being in that new house and seeing all the pictures and the times they will not have together just drew me to you three today. Not that i dont already think about you often. i think about you all daily. i pray that you find some comfort in knowing we all love you and are here for you any time you need. please give my love to sarah and rob. i hope to share my experience with you soon- love you lots.

My heart aches for you. I thank you (again) for sharing Hanna with us here on caringbridge. I feel as if I have come to know a bit of her via this website. I feel confident you feel Hanna's presence because she is right there with you all trying to care for you the way you cared for her all those months. I think it is wonderful that you do feel her presence, but I know not having her physical presence must bring great pain. You are just trying to live one day at a time, and you will know when the time is right to move on to helping other kids with cancer. You are wonderful parents. Your girls are blessed, just as you feel blessed to have them. I feel blessed to have known your family through caringbridge. I'm praying for peace for all of you.

I second what Jen Hartman said, I can't wait to be at that party too...just wanted to pop in, I've been thinking of Hanna, as always, but thinking alot about last year at this time. Anyway, I love you and I'll talk to you soon.
Stephanie <patrick.moore@insightbb.com>

I had a dream about Hanna last night. She was beautiful, healthy and glowing. Her cheeks were pink and rosy and she was smiling from ear to ear. We were all with her eating a big meal together, it was like a big party. She was dancing and bouncing around amongst all the people there. All everyone could say was how happy we are that Hanna�s healthy and happy again. When I woke up it seemed so real and then I thought of this�

�In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.� John 14:2-3

I can�t wait to be there at that party someday.

Love you, Jenny

Jen, Sarah, Rob, and Angel Hanna-
I know it's been awhile since I last signed the guestbook, but I think about you all every single day. I recently went on a trip to Montana, and everywhere I went it seemed like I was being followed by dozens of butterflies. It was pretty amazing, they were all different colors and shapes, and they really were everywhere. It made me think of beautiful Miss Hanna, and what a gem she was in my life and the lives of everyone she met. I'm truly sorry that I could not come to Kentucky with my Mom, I would have liked to very much. Please know that I love you all very much, and you are always in my prayers. I hope that I can see you and give you that love in person very soon.

Uncle Sam called me today and said there were two butterflies circling some new plants in our garden at the farm. He said there have not been butterflies at the farm for years because of spraying the fruit and no plants to attract them. At the same time, I saw a butterfly at our present home- random- just appeared. I felt like Hanna was checking in on us. Really something. Kisses to Sarah and of course, her mom and dad. Love, Aunt Patsy

I have seen so many butterflies lately...driving on the way to a bridal shower this past Saturday they were everywhere. Then John and I took the boys to Sesame Place on Monday and when we were waiting in line at one of the water rides we saw another. It felt as if Hanna was there enjoying the day with us. We bought a butterfly pavilion too, and now we�re waiting for them to emerge from the chrysalises. I don�t think I�ll ever look at butterflies the same way again. The whole process is such a mysterious miracle, something we don�t really understand, like so many things in life. We love you guys so much! Glad you�re making sweet memories with Sarah.

Love,
Jenny

Please know that you have not been forgotten. I am praying that you all feel Hanna's beautiful wings wrapped tightly around you - trying to let you know she is free and happy!

Heaven received another Wilms Warrior last Wednesday. Deigo had just turned 6 just be4 he earned his wings. I know all the Wilms Warriors who passed be4 him greeted him. (His mom has a carepage site, "Diegoland"). She had some beautiful entries that you may want to read!

I had the privilege of meeting Cookie at Diego's service on Saturday. Truly an amazing woman - as is every mother who has lost a child!

I was excited to hear you took Sarah to Barbie Fairytopia even though Hanna was not able to go with you physically. We all know she was with you and Sarah though ! Out of the mouths of babes - Sarah was right ! How beautiful !
She sure loves her sister - she will always have fond memories of her.

We know these times are very hard for you � the hardest being the first year.
All the firsts ! I am glad you are beginning to remember the nice memories, and express them. You have so many! No one expects you not to cry ! I get tears just thinking about it - I am sure we all do. God will heal that in time. I bet you have even begun to laugh over a few thoughts of her.

I agree with your friend Christy on the song � I Can Only Imagine �. It was a very appropriate song for the funeral. I always think of the title � I Can Only Imagine � - then I begin to think. No, not really - I really CAN�T imagine what God has in store for us and how wonderful it will be. I can�t imagine what perfect will be � in my finite mind.

Take care - and hang in there
Love in Christ

Good morning Jen I get on the web site everymorning still to check on you and your family. I think Sara is right those wings looked just like Hanna's and I believe with al my heart even though Hanna wasnt there in person she was sitting right there beside you and her sissy enjoying every minute of the show. She will never leave you. Hanna does have a beautiful smile Dariane has a picture of her and Tori in her room and I see that smile of your angel every morning when I go in to check on her.I pray that God continues to carry you through this time and everyday continues to get a little better hold on to all of your memories Jen because one day you and Hanna will be together again and you can share them together. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Jen- I think of you often but especially yesterday. I keep hearing the song "I can only imagaine". That's such a great song. I can only imagine how hard things must still be for you. I thought about Hanna & Sarah yesterday when Hayley and I went to Barbie Fairytopia. I thought to myself how much Hanna would of liked it, I thought Sarah would like it too, but I wasn't sure if it'd be too hard for you to take her without Hanna. I'm glad you were able to take Sarah and have special time with her, but I'm so sad for you that you weren't able to take sweet Hanna. I cannot imagine how your heart felt when Sarah talked about Hanna's wings. She was so proud of her big sister. that's a pretty big compliment, because I'm sure in Sara's eye barbies wings were the absolute best! It was so hard and a little bittersweet for me to sit there with Hayley, knowing how much Chloe wanted to go to the show. When the commercials advertising it came on Chloe would say "mommy I wish they would quit showing those commercials because it just makes me want to see it more and more". I say Cancer sucks. Chloe doesn't know we went to the show, and I don't have the heart to tell her (and neither does Hayley for that matter). I want to let Hayley do all of the fun things she can but its hard that Chloe has to miss out on so much. I just tell myself this is what we have to endure right now, and take it one day at a time. But what can you do--it's bad enough that Chloe misses out I don't want Hayley to suffer too. I'm rambling...but I wanted to let you I was thinking about you yesterday. I hope you can continue to have many special moments with Sarah and that she gives you the strength to carry on. Please call me if you ever feel like getting together. Know that I think of you often and hope your happy memories of Hanna carries you through each day.
Love, Christy

Jen, Rob & Sarah -

Thought of you this morning as we sang this song !

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations ?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer!

Are we weak and heavy laden.
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do thy friends despise, for sake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He�ll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there.

**************

Sometimes the darkest part of the night is just before dawn - hang in there

Difficult times show us how much we need God, His comfort and strength

Love in Christ

Today when I was doing a daily devotional I thought of Hanna and your family. I came upon your sight a while back from another friend's and have been praying for you. Hanna was such a sweet beautiful girl who touched many lives, even ones that didn't know her. I can't imagine what you all must be going through but wanted to say that people are still praying for you and I hope that you feel God's strength upon you. I thought of you and your family when I read this scripture today

"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't and life can't . The angels can't and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 9:38-39

"Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds." Hebrews 10: 23-24

You have touched so many with sharing your entries and Hanna touched so many with her smiles, stories and courage. Thank you.

I pray that you will feel God's love and that He will heal your hearts and give you peace and courage.

A friend.

Perhaps posting the last entry will make you feel as though you are losing Hanna yet again. I assure you none of us would want to see you suffer alone. And although so many of us are not directly by your side to hold your hand or lend a shoulder to cry upon we are all here for you, Rob and Sarah. So continue to use Hanna's site as a way to express your grief, sadness, and frustrations knowing that every one who reads is praying for you. For your peace.

And for weeks I have pondered your previous entry. For everyone to inform you how Hanna has affected our lives. I still can not imagine that Hanna's only purpose was for all of the other mothers in the world to better appreciate their children (which is definitly what Hanna has done for myself). So instead I continue to search deep into Hanna's purpose. Hopefully, never knowing her purpose will make so many of us never forget what a wonderful child she was.

Many hugs and many prayers.

I heard this song today on the radio and my eyes filled with tears thinking of you. The words seem so appropriate�

�Dancing With The Angels�
Monk & Neagle

Memories surround me
But sadness has found me
I�d do anything for more time
Never before has someone meant more
And I can�t get you out of my mind
There is so much that I don�t understand
But I know

You�re dancing with the angels
Walking in new life
You�re dancing with the angels
Heaven fills your eyes
Now that you�re dancing with the angels

You had love for your family
Love for all people
Love for the Father, and Son
Your heart will be heard
In you unspoken words
Through generations to come
There is so much that I don�t understand
But I know

You�re dancing with the angels
Walking in new life
You�re dancing with the angels
Heaven fills your eyes
Now that you�re dancing with the angels

We�re only here for such a short time
So I�m gonna stand up
Shout out
And sing Hallelujah
One day I�ll see you again

People love to hear from you and how you and you're family are doing. You might find more comfort and peace knowing that the world is still here with you and you're not alone. I will keep praying for you to remember the happier times and great memories of Hanna.

Hello Jen. Keith & I went to the country this weekend and as I was walking up the branch road in the field were the most beautiful butterflies. Of course, who came into my mind - Hanna. I don't believe any of us will ever look at a butterfly and not think of Hanna. Knowing that she is playing and laughing up in Heaven - seeing her smile there and those beautiful eyes. How wonderful to be before the Lord. I then think of you and Rob and Sarah. I do not know the loss of a child - but I do know the memories that I have of Grandma. I know that those special memories of Hanna will always be there for you as you need them, God's gift to us. Life is short, but memories go on forever. Thank you for the journal that you have kept. Thank you for sharing your journey and your memories. You write so well, have shared so much, I really feel God has plans for you through this. In his time. I hope that we get to see you all soon! Take care and God Bless each of you.

simpsonville, ky - Sunday, July 30, 2006 3:36 PM CDT

Hi. This is one of your neighbors. I will try to write a brief note describing how Hanna affected me, and then a note to try to lift you up a little. I can recall on several occasions seeing your family walk down the street pushing Hanna in a stroller. And, if my memory serves me accurately I believe I can recall hearing Hanna talking to you and laughing. This lifted me up, seeing a little girl who was so sick talking and laughing. It made some of the things I often find myself getting depressed about seem so small and trivial that I sort of felt embarassed. Now, if you recall, King David once had an affair with Bathesheba, Uriah's wife. From this affair, Bathesheba became pregnant. To try and cover up the situation, King David had Uriah murdered, thinking that no one would know what he had done. But David's actions didn't escape the eyes of God. God sent Nathan to let David know that David had committed a terrible sin and that it had not gone unnoticed in God's sight. David was humiliated and felt terribly ashamed at what he had done. Shortly after Bathsheba had given birth to their son, the baby became very sick. David feared that the baby might die. Being stricken with grief, David layed down and would not eat or drink or do anything for about a week, until the baby died. When the baby died, David got up and began to go about his normal activities. David's servants were amazed and asked him how it was that he acted so sad before the child died, but now that the child had died David was acting normal? David replied that while the child was still alive, perhaps God would have mercy and let him live. But, now that the child was dead, there was nothing more that David could do. David said,"He cannot come to me, but I can go to him." So David lived out his life, having been forgiven for his sins by the LORD, knowing that he would one day be with his young son in heaven. That is the same hope we have today as we lose loved ones. We can go to them; and we will go to be with them forever, in paradise, where there is no sickness, no tears, no grief, no crying, no pain, and no death. We read in Isiah 35:10----"And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." It is with this hope that we, as Christians, can live joyfully and with peace in our hearts, knowing that the brevity of this life with its pain and sorrow and ultimate death, is really nothing compared with the everlasting joy and happiness that we will share with our loved ones, and all the people who are saved in Christ, when that day comes. When we lose a loved one, especially a child, we are inclined to ask "Why her", "Why now", "She didn't deserve this." "How can you let such a thing happen to such a young,innocent child, God". God has given us a glimpse of some of these answers. When Adam and Eve sinned, they brought sin and death into the world.....they also brought all the pain and sickness, sorrow, wickedness, suffering, etc. that we see all around us. God has promised that all this evil will end. He has promised that, while He has given Satan a short time to reign on the earth, soon Satan's reign will end and the final judgement will occur and all the evil and sickness, death, and grief will be done away with and eternal peace, happiness, glory, and eternal company with God will reign. All of us who are Christians have that promise. We will reign with Christ forever. And you will be with your beloved Hanna forever. That is a promise that God Himself gives you. You can rest assured that it will happen because He says it will. And God cannot lie. So, when you feel depressed and sad, as is normal, just remember the promise God has given you. This life is very brief and before you know it you will find yourself in His presence and in Hanna's presence forever and ever. Amen. I am sorry I couldn't attend Hanna's funeral. I was in Israel when she passed away. I was doing Christian work there and also helping the Israeli government's Antiquities Authority. I love Israel and I think God loves Israel, too. It is an honor to help the Israeli people. They need our prayers now, as you can see if you watch the news. So, maybe you can pray for them. May your family find peace and happiness during this time of sorrow. Your Brother in Christ, Ron Jackson

Jen,Rob&Sarah,
Its been a loooong time since I made a journal entry. We were away on vacation ourselves and have now returned. Thank you for sharing in the journal entries you have made. I can't imagine how hard that must be. Every entry I read, I grieve with you. I have so many questions to ask God when my time to pass arrives. The why's are many. I feel your pain, I wish I could take it away, but I know one who can and that is Jesus. Jesus knows your pain. He has been there Himself. I just had to let you know that last night when my family was all down in the basement, it was around 10:20pm I stood out on the front porch. The whole sky was black except for a glow in the clouds right above your house. It was AWESOME! I would have called you, but it was a little late. I just had a funny feeling come over me like Hanna was showing herself again. We think of your family EVERY day. There is not one day that goes by that we as a family aren't praying for peace for the 3 of you and your extended family. We love you all and keep those happy memories coming! Love in Christ---Brenna

Oh jeni please know that I think about you so often. My heart just continues to ache for you and rob and sweet sarah. I am glad to hear you are recalling some happy time memories.
I have one: My mom just gave me a picture of hanna sitting on my lap at our last family gathering at grandma robichauds. That's the hanna I remember. She stole my heart that week and from that day on she forever will have a place in my heart. I felt a connection to your precious girl.old soule of sorts. My connection with her was not so much in words it was her eyes, and her smile.Her silent way she would say what she thought about what you said, and what she thought of what you were saying,without even saying one word!! :) It sounds strange but when mom gave me the picture all of thoses feelings came flooding back.I cried like a baby, happy too though Aren't pictures awesome!? I will not only have that memory of her in my mind, and have that picture. but you know our family and I bet there are many more pictures of those moments out there.:) Oh jeni- I love you all. I pray god walks with you every minute and guides you where he wants you- I have many friends of mine that have walked in your shoes and there love and pain is there forever but they seem to learn (with gods help) how to coupe day by day. To me it just seems hard to imagine...
I hope rob's job is going well and that he is adjusting to his schedule. Please give sarah my love and tell her becky says hello. I love you!

I know it't hard to get up and going everyday, I feel the same. But I have learned to keep myself very, very busy nonstop. The pain does get a little better as the days go by.The good memories are good, but they hurt at the same time. I pray God gives you the strength each and everyday. He is able. It's hard to turn to him sometimes for me, but He is the one who got me this far when I thought I was going to lose my mind. My father in law was buried in March where Hanna is and I saw her resting place. All I can say is it shows how much she was and still is loved. I absolutely love the butterflies. God Bless and I will be praying for you and your family.
ps I wrote you a while back, my son passed away at Kosair May 3,06. He had neuroblastoma.

Hey Jen,
We went with Pat's family tonight to see "Wizard of Oz" at Derby Dinner Playhouse. I have been thinking of Hanna all day(I do everyday). I have been wanting to write and tell you how Hanna touched my life but I could never find the right words. Anyhow, we went to the play and the very first song they sang made me think of Hanna...the words are perfect. It explains how she has touched my family and myself. I came home and looked up the lyrics right away. The song is from the musical "Wicked" an offtake of the "Wizard of Oz". Mary Caitlyn said the song made her think of all the fun she had with Hanna and how much she loves her. Here's the lyrics...we love you guys! We love you Hanna and we are all better for knowing you!

For Good

I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do,
So now it's up to you
For both of us
Now it's up to you:

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:

Because I knew you:

I have been changed for good

Hello! I just read your last entry and it tugs at my heart! I can't express how deeply touched I am and have been through this whole chapter in your life. We have learned so much, everything from a higher faith to saddness that I've never felt before. I think of you often and pray for you daily! Give a hug to Sarah for us and please know that we love you all so much... Love, April

I am on vacation and still cannot get your family and Hanna off my mind. I am praying for each of you, because I know grief shows itself in so many differeny ways. And everyone handles it differently. I pray that you will continue to feel the prescence of God as you deal with these emotions.

Just wanted to stop by to share a quote I found on the page of another CB site. They lost 2 children this past year to a horrible seizure disease.

"Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith . . . it is the price of love."

Dear Jenny, Rob and Sarah, I have such a hard time putting into words how special Hanna was and will always be to me. Even though Hanna's life was short she brought so much beauty, love and happiness to everyone who met her. God gave you and our family a very special angel. I have witnessed first hand the special spirituality that she possessed and shared with everyone that she met. It is because of Hanna that my faith has been strengthened. I will also always be grateful to her for bringing me closer to each of you. I know lives get busy and we always say that we will get together but we now know that we must get together more often as a family. Hanna showed us that we need to say "I Love You" more often to our family. Jenny, Hanna brought us closer and I pray that we will remain closer. I don't think that I had ever told you, Nancy, Mike or the boys that I love them but now because of Hanna I have done that and for that I will be forever grateful to Hanna. God has truly blessed you and Rob with Sarah and Hanna and I know that you will always cherish them.

Hey Jen,
I hadn't been here for a bit but wanted to see Hanna's pictures tonight. Your Easter memory made me remember and smile. I miss her so much but she still, and always will, makes me smile. Missed you swimming Tuesday. Talk to you soon. As always, I love you!

Thank you for updating us on how you are doing. We can only imagine how hard this is for you. Knowing that Hanna is with Jesus in heaven must give you some comfort in dealing with this. If there is anything we can do for you to help your days and time get better, please let us know. Our daughter Kaylee would love to meet Sarah and play with her. I'd love to hug you and make your pain go away, but I know it won't happen. I still pray for your family daily. Lisa Lloyd

Evans family I read something today and would like to pass it on to you. You may be going through great difficulties, and you're tempted to think, I'm never going to get out of this. This is nevergoing to change.I'm never going to win in this situation. Remember, you must first win the battle in your mind. Stand strong. When negative thoughts come,reject them and replace them with God's thoughts. Jen even though you are preparing your last entry I want your family know you will forever be in my thoughts and prayers may God be with you in everything you do and continue to give you the strength to get through each day I will be praying for you always God Bless Tara

I firmly believe that when we are created, God gives each one of us a special task to complete during our life time. Hanna was not an exception. Hanna was blessed with her task and, unlike most of us, was able to fulfill her task rather quickly in her short time here on earth. Hanna has done her part and now she is resting in the arms of the Blessed Virgin Mary. NOW, it is up to each of us to uncover Hanna's purpose, her special task and message to each of us. That is her gift to everyone who knew her or knew of her. So, as brothers and sisters on this journey with Hanna, may we all take the time to review Hanna's lessons to us. Take with us what was meant for us and spread that message to those in need. Hanna did not leave this earth in vain. She taught us all something very special. Hold that in your hearts and never forget her beautiful little smile, her beautiful little spirit. Rob and Jenn, I thank you for sharing Hanna's journey with all of us. Despite the pain and the tears, she IS truly a blessed little girl who had a lot to teach us - and she did it with perfection. Angel Hanna will forever dance in all of our hearts. God bless each of you!

thanks for sharing that memory. Its funny but I could picture it in my mind. I am still thinking about you all daily and wish I could do something to help with your pain. I love you and call me when you can talk. I have started to put into words the ways hanna's life has impacted me. Some day I will share them with you. We just got back from Alaska and I thought about hanna often on our trip. I pray that sarah is doing okay. She is really a neat girl. We saw an alaska air plane with a big tinkerbell on the entire plane (it was real cool). Becky took a picture for sarah. We will send it soon. I love you all.
