Hannah Lea Jenner left this life peacefully, in her mother's arms, early on February 24, 2006. She was 9.5 years old and had a smile on her face, as she so often did. Chemotherapy had just begun for her recently diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, but infection too quickly claimed her body. Hannah was a life long learner for whom all experiences came with joy and love. Survivors, grateful for having loved her, are her mother, Diana (Lambert) Jenner; her brother, Hayden Jenner; her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends-who-should-be-family. She is embraced on the other side by her father, Mitch Jenner, and others who have gone before her. In lieu of flowers, the family requests outpourings of love and tender regard to every child, and gratitude on the part of parents of living children everywhere.

Diana Jenner has posted to lists for a couple of years, and used to have a sigline that said "The wackiest widow westriver." Her husband died of cancer when her children were young. Hannah was four. Diana's page concerning recent events is here:

Care Package

The ongoing Care Package roster being coordinated by Robyn Coburn, which may include gift certificates/financial help with groceries. Some people are sending physical local fun stuff, some might send money or gift cards for local stores. Other ideas will be available from Robyn if you sign up for the list, I think.

Hayden is sensitive to artificial food colors, especially yellow dye.
