"Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seem like its been forever that you've been gone..."
Accepting that you're gone is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I'm always thinking of you Hannah, wondering if there's a slight chance you're still coming back, wondering if this surreal experience and horrible nightmare will ever come to an end.. I miss you so much at times it's unbearable... But it only hurts so much because Hannah, you were such an amazing person and wonderful, loving friend to me. We had an incredibly strong bond and unique friendship and for that, I count myself extremely lucky and blessed to have known you for as long as I did. You've been an enormous part of my life and there is no way you will ever be forgotten. You will always be my best friend. You'll always be in my thoughts, in my dreams and forever in my heart.
Rest in Peace Hannah,
I love you.

You were such an amazing person Hannah. So full of
life and energy. I loved
every moment that we spent together. You were like
the sister I never had. I
used to always tell people bout my best friend
Hannah, from HK - I think
people thought I made you up. I really looked up to
you. I'm so sorry we
lost contact, I wish I could turn back time -but I'm
so thankful for the fun
times that we had together - all our shows,
Pocahontas in Daytona, bunk beds
at your place, Ocean Park, the American Girls - I
used to love those dolls -
but my favourite doll of all time was named after
you. I miss the good times
Han, but most of all I miss you.
Love and prayers...

For my beautiful Hannah
You are gone, and I miss you. I missed seeing you
born by just one hour,
and when I did arrive at the hospital I met my first
grandchild. There you
were a small little buddle of love and life and just
like a moment later you
were gone. I loved the times we spent together.
Whatever we were doing was
very special. I miss you. You brought sunshine and
love into my heart and I
feel like a part of me is now gone. I just need one
more hug from you. I
miss you.
I love you my sweet Hannah.

Hannah, love, the day you accepted me into your
life, you turned my world
over on its head. Now you've done it again, and I
don't know what to do.
When I lost you, I lost so much more than a friend.
I lost someone who I
knew to the core, and who knew me inside out. I lost
a companion; I lost
someone I could do everything - and nothing - with.
I lost someone who I
could be myself with, something very rare nowadays.
I lost someone with whom
I could communicate without words, where everything
was always just
understood. I lost a family member. I lost your
mind, smile, hug and kiss.
But what I gained is so much more. Because of you I
have faith, I have hope,
I can believe. Because of you I've learned to love
with my whole. Because of
you I am no longer afraid.
You will always hold a special place in my heart. I
will never forget what
you and your beautiful family gave me. I love you.

I will miss you Hannah. I remember that you always
loved me and when ever I
was sad, you helped me feel better. You were my
oldest cousin and I love
you. When we were in Atlantis and I was afraid to go
down the slide, you
helped me. The one thing that I want you to know is
that I'm always your
cousin and I will always love you. You were there
for everything I saw in
Atlantis. You made me feel special. I want you to
know that you are
special and there will always be a place for you in
my heart. There was no
one else like you. I love you so much Hannah. You
are a good person that I
will always remember. I will see you in my dreams.

Hann,
You were one of the first few people I met when I
transferred into CIS in
the middle of year 12. You were so friendly, happy
and funny and just one
of those people who were so easy to talk to. You
made it so much easier for
me to feel comfortable in CIS. I remember so many
little things, the way we
used to chat outside class before English class
started, laughing and
complaining about English class and all our
assignments, (attempting to)
help you with your art project, so many little happy
random moments. I miss
you and I love you Hannah. You will always be in my
heart.

You meant the world to me, you're my everything. You
taught me so much, we
were together through our formative years, changing
from teenagers to young
adults, you made me the person I am today, and for
that I will be forever
grateful. You will always be a part of me, and your
values will always be
mine. You are the most amazing person to me and I
will always appreciate to
have spent all our time together, I just wish we had
more time together in
this world. I would do anything just to be with you
again. I will never
forget so many first time experiences we shared
together, I treasure our
memories as it is keeps your spirit alive within me.
Even though you are
gone, you still amaze me with your capability to
bring out the best in
people and those that you have left behind, have now
been brought closer
together. Hannah, I love you with all my heart, you
will always be my
penguin forever.

Hann, I'll never forget our last day together this
past January. It was my
last day in Hong Kong and you insisted we go on a
major shopping spree in
Mong kok because it was my last chance to buy
anything cheap. We had loads
of fun, even buying matching cheongsam dresses to
"get in touch with our
Asian sides." As we talked about adjusting to
college, I realized that I
couldn't relate to any of my new friends like I
could you. I cried when I
had to leave you guys, and felt ridiculous at the
time, but now I'm thankful
because I think it showed you how much I cared.
It is pretty amazing our friendship has stayed fully
intact throughout the
ten years after we walked home together on my first
day at CIS. Hannah was
one of those friends you didn't let go - she was
such a pleasure to be
around and you could tell she highly valued each of
her friends because she
treated everyone such compassion. For me, it always
felt like we were
figuring life out together as we went along, and I
assumed it would always
be that way.
All the time we spent together has no doubt changed
me for the better. As
neighbors, we went for runs and hit the pool
together in our endless
attempts to get fit. As classmates, we sat through
class next to each other
and constantly compared how we were studying for
finals. As friends, we
forced our eyes open for our late night movie
marathons, turned to each
other for advice, and, of course, stole each other's
clothes and modeled for
coca cola. We had our first job together at age 12,
had serious crushes on
Josh Hartnett by age 14, got over the cooties phase
to acquire boyfriends at
age 16, and unraveled American college dilemmas via
phone at age 18.
Hann, you left us way too soon. It still seems so
surreal to me that I can't
pick up the phone and call you anymore, that going
home won't also mean
spending days on end with you. You have deeply
affected my life, like you
have so many others, and I will always love you and
will strive to keep your
spirit alive.

Dearest Hannah,
My message to you has been long delayed. My thoughts are like pieces
of
my broken heart - hard to put together. My life has turned upside down
without you, Hannah. Nothing is the same without you here. Hannah I
miss
you so much. You were my escape fom the harshness of life. You filled
me
with memories of a comforting past and prospects of a wonderful future.
You always helped to heal my heart Hannah; this is the one time that
you
have managed to shatter it. Hannah, my best friend, my sister, you were
so
much a part of my life that I will never let you go. You were taken
from
us, our angel on Earth, into the Heavens where I know you are watching
over us all. Hannah, our guardian angel, thankyou for being such a
wonderful part of my life. You will be in our hearts and minds
forever.
I will never stop loving you.
All my love, Sianica |

Hann,
You were in my dream today. You have been there many times but today
was
even more poignant than all the other times. I wish I could tell you
that
there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and I have
wanted
to write this for you for so long. There really isn't a good excuse but
I
am still having a hard time thinking that we will never physically be
together. I believed that we were always going to have each other, grow
old together despite the distance between us. We used to talk about
plans
for the future, how we were going to be vets and own a ton of horses or
just be old senile women secretly watching Baywatch Hawaii or the Bold
and
the Beautiful. We promised that we would always be there for one
another
till the very end. Remember when you made me copy out 'Hannah
Schawelson +
Beatrice Shen = Best Friends Forever' over and over again on the
Pocahontas stationary? How we would make up elaborate dance shows in a
night, play with our American dolls for hours at end, dressing up and
having photo shoots without any shame, our silly musical 'hollywood',
our
special word 'shwing' that would fix all our fights? I cannot imagine
growing up without you, since day one of year 3 we have been
inseparable,
you have been in every momentous occasion of my childhood. We've gone
through rough times but we always came together in the end. You are my
comfort Hann, I could sit in silence with you for forever and feel so
secure. We once talked about taking a bullet for people you know; you
brought it up and with confidence told me that you would take a bullet
for
me in a second. The conversation was short, but it still resonates with
me
because I knew too that I would do the same for you. You are much more
than a best friend to me Hann, you are my sister or my parallel being.
As
I dreamt of you today, I knew I was dreaming but at the same time it
seemed so real, I tried to keep the conversation we were having going
for
as long as I could but you still left at the end. I miss you so much
Hannah. I will never stop missing you, but I will continue living
vivaciously for you because I know that is what you would do and that
is
what you would want.
I love you. Shwing.
