I too was profoundly mooved by this freak accident, I don't God wants. It tests all of our faiths when a young child succumbs. I do not blame the mother, it is a freak accident. I did say a little prayer into my head each day hoping my prayer would work. My prayer worked :}

I prayed for Mom, she needs all of you now.

I am so sorry for this little angle, she tried so hard to stay with us down here, but God wanted her more. So now she will be watching over her family with other angels. Hopefully this sadness that this family is dealing with won't last forever, that they can accept their loss and move on. I know it will be very difficult for them, but some how they will need to let go. She is in good hands now, and her pain and struggling is now over. God be with this family and Hannah during this time of need and saddness.

There's nothing anyone can say to ease your pain, but I hope it's of some comfort that others share the pain of your sweet little one's passing. May God wrap his arms around Hannah and all of you with love and peace.

It is so hard to understand why God would take such a precious gift. Whenever a child is lost the only way to explain it is that He needed her more. No words could possibly bring comfort to this family in despair but I hope they just see that even by saying a few words on here they know that our community is behind them and pushing for them every day. God Bless

Although I do not know the family, I have been following this tragic story from the start. I understand the agony first-hand of losing a child in a tragic accident as I lost my 15 yr old son last Oct 17 to a car/bike accident. I am so sorry for their loss and for the pain that they must bear. As parents we wonder if we'll ever be"nomal" again following something of this nature. I have found that God remains faithful and wil carry you when you don't haveanything left of yourself to keep going onward. He has incredible love for all of us especially our children. Accidents like this don't happen simply to rob us of our precious jewels, even though we may feel that way. God sees the big picture and knows the end from the beginning. My prayers will be with the family, as they will continue to need them for a LONG time.
