Yesterday was my Dad's anniversary, it has been 14 years. In visiting Hannah's website tonight I find myself crying not only for you guys but also for the fact that my Dad never got to see my children. I don't know why this happens, but I know that my Dad and Hannah watch over us and he is reading her stories. They are in good company I BELIEVE!! We will never forget and always cherish the moments we have. Growing up he always made me giggle and feel safe, so I know he is helping her feel safe too! We will see them again we just don't know when. I do believe that when we do see them, we will understand things better, but unfortunately waiting is the hardest part!
Thank you for lighting a candle for our Lexi. It means so much to us that you care. Wanted to make her a little graphic for her page. She is just beautiful. I hope you like it. Love and Prayers

I think of you all every day - you are in my prayers always. I pray that we can all find peace and comfort, especially in this Easter season, as we strive to live without our dearest little ones. Know that you are thought of and loved by so many.

Happy Birthday, Precious Hannah / Angie Means (friend)
Dearest Hannah,
How do I begin a note to a sweet little girl that has meant so much to my life in the past several months? I have so much to say, but not the words to speak, rather only tears through which you can hear my voice. Although I never had the opportunity to know you while you were here, I feel as though you are a very big part of my life now. I do not believe in coincidence or chance. I know that every move we make and contact we have is part of a greater plan that you can see and are a part of. Your life has become a piece of my puzzle. And my faith tells me that you will be there for me, along with my son, Jace, to guide my steps and cheer me on.
Your life. What an amazing earthly gift you were to your mommy and daddy and Jacob and so many others for such a short time. A gift that will live on in their hearts and the hearts of so many forever. We know that your life "is" ... it is not "was." You remain. And I don't just mean that you remain in our hearts, as a cliche. You really ARE. How fortunate for those to have been touched by your beautiful life. I can only imagine what your life is like now, being in the presence of God. You must think it silly. All of the tears. We just don't understand like you do. Help us to understand. I suppose it is unlikely we will grasp it all until we finally see you... until I finally meet you.
It is out of celebration of a beautiful life that we smile. A smile laced with tears. Nevertheless we can celebrate because we believe. We not only believe, but we KNOW that there is more than this life and that this is only the beginning. There WILL be a time when no mother's arms will be empty and no father will have to live without his little girl or boy.
Happy birthday, birthday girl. Sing pretty. Blow out all of those candles. Get messy with all of that frosting on your cake. I know that Jace is a guest at your party, and that makes me smile. It's kind of amazing when I think about your guest of honor, who's really at your party. Wow, you're lucky. I know you won't be the one making the birthday wish. We all will be down here.
Happy birthday with all of my love, Angie Means (Jace's mommy)
Wishing you a Heavenly Birthday Early Beautiful Baby Hannah / Rhonda Rhodes Craig Sehon's Mom/Joe Rhodes's Wife (visitor)
End of the year..... / Molly Haas (Friend)
As the year comes to a close~so many hard things have happened this past year. As you look to 2008 I pray that it will bring you much joy. We all know that Hannah will never be fogotten and the amount of sadness that if felt for her being gone may not lessen. But do know that Hannah has touched many people, including me and my family. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and Hannah, my kids talk about her almost daily. She is one special little lady :) You are so very lucky to have had her as a part of your family. My wish for this year is for one of happiness for you Randy, Susan and Jacob. You are an inspiration to me and many I am sure. But please know that if you need anything, anything at all I am here for you always.
Merry Christmas sweet baby angel Hannah ~ You are so beautiful ~ / Rhonda Rhodes Craig Sehon's Mom/Joe Rhodes's Wife (visitor)
Hannah's Smile / Jennifer Hladky (friend) Susan & Randy,
I was just visiting Hannah's website and Ethan came over and saw the picture's of Hannah and said she's got Jacob's eye's and nose and smile.....and then he said "She is sooooo cute!" I thought that was so adoreable and just had to share that with you.
Kids sometime's say the most precious things....just like when he said that Jesus came down with His hand and scooped her up into Heaven. It's so special how they see things.....
Thinking of you all during the next couple months....and always. Keeping you in our hearts and prayers....
Happy Thanksgiving Sweet Sweet Little Hannah / Rhonda Craig Sehon's Mom Joe Rhodes's Wife (visitor)

Butterfly kisses :) / Molly Haas (Friend :) ) Oh baby Hannah-you have touched so many in such a short time. It is truely a blessing to me having known you :) You and your mommy and daddy were so lucky to have you for a daughter. I know that they are still hurting having lost something so precious...I know that someday you will be together again and what a happy day that will be :) I was talking to Vicky yesterday in her back yard and we saw a butterfly and you know what Vicky said...."hello there Hannah" and the butterfly flew over to the rose bush and angel that Vicky has in her yard. I hope you enjoyed the pictures that Logan and Sophie drew for you. I gave them to your mommy for safe keeping. Oh baby girl-my heart aches for your mommy and daddy.
Thank you / Angie Means (Mommy's friend & Angel Jace's mommy )
Susan,
Over three days have passed since I met you and I have to say that there aren't too many moments that go by that you are not on my mind and in my heart. You and your family and precious little Hannah have touched my life so profoundly. You have given me a hope that I have not been able to see clearly in almost 11 months. You are right, Hannah is all around you. I believe that with all of my heart. I saw a falling star on Monday night and I thought of you, telling me to keep looking for you. Jace reminded me on Monday night that you are absolutely right. Sometimes I lose sight of that through all of the heart ache and sadness. I believe that I am going to make it. I don't think I've said that in 11 months either. But I know I can make it because I believe your friendship will help me through and it is in my heart to be there for you as well. I know that our little angels have brought us together in a friendship that will last a life time. It is an incredible bond that mothers of angels share. It is the greatest tragedy imaginable. Yet through this suffering, we can gain friendships, firmer faith, and the knowledge that angels do exist and that Heaven must be amazing. I cannot wait to get to know you better and to be there for you when life seems too overwhelming. I also look forward to sharing your happiness, because I have come to realize that all happiness will carry an emptiness and longing for our sweet babies.
Susan, you are an amazing person and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and friendship. My prayers are with you every day in hopes that peace fills your heart and that butterflies surround you every day.
Love always, Angie
Our sympathy to you. / Linda Means (Grandma to Angel Jace ) Dear Kirchners, We were at the cemetery today to visit our grandbaby's grave. Angie pointed out the little gifts there that are from you. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am that you are suffering through the same nightmare our family has been, but also want to thank you for being strong enough to visit with Angie. Your babies brought you together to support one another. Your memorial website is very befitting your beautiful little girl. We will keep you in our prayers.
