HANNAH'S WINGS

04/30/06 - IT WAS ONE WEEK AGO TODAY THAT HANNAH EARNED HER ANGEL WINGS IN HEAVEN. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY TO OFFER YOUR SUPPORT TO KAREN, STEPHEN AND THE BEST & ELIAS FAMILIES. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SERVICE AND A TRUE TESTIMONY TO THE LOVE AND LIFE OF HANNAH MACKENZIE ELIAS. HER MEMORY WILL BE KEPT ALIVE THROUGH HER WEBSITE. CONTINUE TO SIGN IN HER GUESTBOOK, EMAIL, LOOK AT PHOTOS AND OFFER YOUR WORDS OF SUPPORT. A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO HELPED MAKE THE DAY RUN SMOOTHLY. YOUR SPECIAL TOUCHES AND HELPING HANDS MADE IT MORE BEARABLE & OFFERED COMFORT TO THE FAMILY. AFTER THE SERVICE AT HANNAH'S GRAVESIDE 50 YELLOW BALLOONS WITH YELLOW RIBBONS WERE RELEASED. THIS BALLOON RELEASE WAS SYMBOLIC OF HANNAH'S WISH TO TRAVEL. SINCE HANNAH WAS NEVER WELL ENOUGH AND NEVER GOT HER WISH TO VISIT MICKEY MOUSE WE ATTACHED A NOTE TO EACH YELLOW BALLOON SO WE COULD TRACK HANNAH'S TRAVELS. WE ASKED PEOPLE WHO FOUND A BALLOON TO LOG ON TO HER GUESTBOOK AND LET US KNOW WHERE THE BALLOONS WERE FOUND. SO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!! IT HAS BEEN A VERY EMOTIONAL WEEK FOR KAREN AND STEPHEN BUT WITH THE LOVE AND SUPPORT OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS THEY ARE MAKING IT ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!!
