HODGINS: Hannah Dawn Erica

February 5, 2018 By Haskett Funeral Homes 48 Condolences

HODGINS: Hannah Dawn Erica

 It is with complete devastation that Hannah’s family announce her sudden passing on Saturday, February 3rd, 2018 at just over 1 month old. Left behind with unanswered questions and broken hearts are her parents Renee Hodgins and Jacob Van Valkengoed. Cherished granddaughter of Eileen and Evan Wharram of Lindsay, Wayne and Karen Hodgins of Lucan and Bob and Lorie Van Valkengoed of Crediton. Dear great-granddaughter of Donald and Alma Allen of Arva. Hannah will be forever remembered by her godparents Jessica Cummings and Caleb Wharram and her many aunts, uncles, cousins, and family friends. Hannah brightened the lives of many during her short time with us all and will remain in the hearts of those who knew her. There will be private family arrangements.

There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is part of me.
It is not where I wanted her
but where God wanted her to be.
She was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though she is in Heaven
she isn’t very far.
She touched the hearts of many
like only an Angel can do.
So I send this special message
to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send her all my love.

    Dearest Renee,

    I don’t really know you….but I know of you. In that, you are part of my family and I love you. The news of your loss saddens me deeply. I saw you at the Wharram Christmas party…..we didn’t speak….and it actually took some investigating to figure out who you were….as the family has gotten SO big. You were pregnant….and glowing…so beautiful…and to think of you now just breaks my heart.

    Your precious little daughter was so perfect and so loved. She brought immense joy to many people during her short stay here. May you always carry a piece of that joy in your heart.

    R.I.P Baby Hannah….I love you…
