Thank you Mark for contacting me. I am so sorry to hear the news, u have no idea. Your Mother has meant so much to me, in words I can't describe. I will never forget her, she was so important to me. Tears are flowing. Mark, she absolutely was the "loveliest lady," as u told me once. She always talked about how much she loved you, Mark and Steve. As I mentioned, I thought of her every day and said prayers for her every night for a long, long time. I am crying as if she was my own Mother. SIncerely, Nancy Wintner

She was loved like immediate family; didn't matter that she was a mother-in-law to my sister-in-law. If there's a female equivalent to a "mench," that was Hannah. We were blessed to know her over 40 years. Kind, smiling ... someone you wanted to be around. Her memory is truly a blessing. Steven and Mark: thank you for sharing her with us.
