You're an amazing mom and Eli and Hannah are proof of that! The way those kids light up, Eli is such a beautiful boy, all heart and smile. Those traits are forever with her in her soul which she gave a little piece of to everyone she smiled at. You couldn't take one look at her and not be forever touched by her spirit. Just the few times seeing her, I got that she was someone extremely special. I remember last year, 4th of July, Ryan was introducing me around and made a point to introduce her (Hannah) as 'the most awesome lady here, Hannah!''and then seeing the way her whole face smiled and laughed at the fireworks'I won't forget that. She embodied the true and entire meaning of happiness in that one moment''In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
