Hannah was a special child in more ways than one. She touched the hearts of everyone she met with her smile. If you were having a bad day, a "Hannah Hug" and smile always made you feel better. Her smile lit up a room and her laugh was infectious.

She loved swimming, clapping people's hands, being read to and watching Joe Cupo and Kevin Mannix on Channel 6.
