Does anyone have Hannah’s contact information or current mailing address. I would like to personally send some funds, I know Savannah had a lot of medical bills. I’d also like to send my condelences the last memory I have of Savannah was right before we deployed to Iraq and I was hanging out with Josh in the car and he was reading her a story. Any information on how to get a hold of her would be helpful. May they both rest in peace, heaven gained two great angels. SGT Thomas Gross, B Troop, 6/8 CAV 2007-2009

Dear Andersons;
I was on another condolence site when I saw Savannah’s picture to the right. I had to look twice as it was such a sad surprise. I am so sorry! She was just finishing chemo last time I was at your home. She was a fun and sweet little girl even though she was worn out from the chemo.
Your family has been through so much–
I am glad her dad was there to greet her.
Abby–I hope you are doing ok. I know you will be strong for your sister in law and grandma and grandpa.
Maureen Sharib
