Hannah Miller, Always on our minds, forever in our hearts 5/24/89-5/12/01 
Welcome to Hannah's page. The brightness of her smile, the warmth of her spirit and the glow of her love will always light our path.
Hannah was born with a beautiful head of dark hair and warmth in her heart. She was a happy, sweet, verbal girl. She said Da-Da- for Tom at 4 months old and always had a love of learning. She was very curious, loved to sing and dance. She always had many friends, she made them wherever she went and she always had a smile on her face. Hannah loved to dance, and took lessons for many years. She played soccer and softball. She had a wonderful sense of humor and enjoyed joke books. She was an avid reader and had become a Harry Potter expert of sorts. Hannah was the best pal and confidant to her sister and adored her baby brother. On September 28, 2000, Hannah was diagnosed with an inoperable brain stem glioma. She bravely battled this horrible beast, undergoing simultaneous radiation and chemotherapy. She kept her spirits up, buoyed by her family and some very special friends who stayed by her side throughout this ordeal. Her tumor was very aggressive and she left this world on May 12, 2001. Hannah, we love you and miss you with all our hearts, our souls and every fiber of our being. You will always be our shining star, an inspiration to so many, loved and missed by all. We will keep the flame of your love burning forever.

Wed., Nov. 19, 2008 As we reach closer to the end of 2008, we see that our love and longing for Hannah does not diminish. Many dates and all holidays are still hard, although we have been through them several times now and have better coping skills.
Still, it is hard to know that children continue to be diagnosed, suffer from and die from brain tumors. True to Hannah's spirit and her strong desire to help other kids with cancer, we push on to fulfill her wish. If you can, please support one or all of the organizations listed below. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium has been extremely hard hit by funding cuts from the NCI. Any support you provide would be truly appreciated, as all goes to cutting edge research for the most aggressive and challenging pediatric brain tumors. The PBTC Foundation was established as a fundraising arm for the PBTC. I am currently Treasurer and very committed to this organization. Remember that lots of small donations add up over time.
A safe and healthy holiday season to you and yours.
