Hannah Ostrea, born July 25, 2008, passed away peacefully on December 4, 2011, surrounded by her family following a lifelong battle against Neuronopathic Gaucher’s Disease. In our hearts, she is now free from the prison of this disease and is able to run, play, and be able to dance to her favorite song, Ice, Ice, Baby (Glee version!).
She lived for only three short years, yet her beautiful smile, intoxicating charm, and her courageous fighting spirit forever captured the hearts of everyone who had the opportunity to get to know her. Even though she was never able to speak a word, her expressions, her laughs, and her eyes were able to speak volumes.
A celebration of Hannah’s life will be held at the King David Chapel (inside Palm Eastern Cemetery) on December 11th at 12:30 pm. It is open to all who loved her, help care for her, and who have had their lives touched by our Little Miss Hannah.
** We ask that those who join us wear pink, yellow, (her favorites) or other vibrant and bright colors and refrain from black attire. Because of her love of Minnie Mouse, we also encourage Disney attire and accessories. **

How Glorious! This is so wonderful. Even though I can not make it to this service, my heart & spirit will be there. For I loved Hannah very much. She truly was a little Angel and had such a tough fight, and she gave it her all. But God knows who belongs in his Kingdom & I am sure she is with all the children in a special playroom having FUN.
Blessed Be to you & your family
Carrie,
I have been waiting and hoping God would give me the right words to say to you. You and Hannah have been on my mind constantly. I just want to let you know that you and Hannah have been and are a Godsend to our family. Your strength, courage, love and the ability to help others with your words have been such an inspiration to all of us. Our families will forever be connected because of these beautiful little angels, Hannah and Olivia. Hannah will never ever be forgotten, that beautiful little face will be in my memory always. I can’t even imagine what you are feeling now, but know love and prayers are being sent to you, and your family from New York.
If I could be there, you know I would!! You will be in my thoughts & prayers…as you ALWAYS are and ALWAYS will be!!
I’m there, hopefully with Tracy! I love your funeral plan. So incredibly appropriate for her. What an amazing life she lead and has layed out for you to live in her absence. I know it will be hard but you WILL get through the gut wrenching grief and oame out on the other end (at some point) intact and a better person. And I don’t blame you a bit if you want to sock me in the nose for suggesting that. Because I really barely know what I am talking about compared to your experience. Your whole family is in my thoughts.
