Live, laugh, Love .... like Hana

"Like Hana" aims to spread the love and laughter that defined Hana. One of the first steps towards this was establishing the Hana St. Juliana Memorial Fund to sponsor projects to memorialize Hana's life. The initial project supported by the fund is Hana’s Garden in Seymour Lake Park, Oxford, Michigan.

You loved everything: unconditionally. Your heart was too big not to, and with that big heart came an equally big smile. Even when your smile alone could brighten a person's day, your presence literally brightened people's lives. You made everyone feel special, and your ability to be so true, reflected onto others. Your shoulder was open for anyone to lean on, you had your friend’s back for anything and everything. You were always perceptive. Noticing and appreciating the smallest of details. Laughter always followed everywhere you went.You were the person who always did the right thing. 
You never failed to express yourself, whether it was through your outfits, your gold accessories, your perfectly painted nails, all your different converse, your fun socks, or your little doodles all over your school work. 
Your transcendence surpassed every expectation. But it was because of all the hard work you put into it.It showed when you jumped higher, set better, and hit harder. You brought laughter to a quiet practice, and smiles to pre practice snack breaks. For basketball season, you were already putting in that extra work. I know with your dedication, your passion, and your drive it would have made you the most excellent lacrosse player. 

Remember Hana for her contagious smile, that was too infectious.Remember Hana for her humor, the countless times she made you throw your head back and laugh.Remember Hana for her countless interests, every little new thing she tried.Remember Hana for her love of food, cooking and baking, eating and snacking. Remember Hana for her love of christmas, the abounding amount of decoration she put up that matched her spirit.Remember Hana for her empathy, being inclusive to everyone, and always there for anyone.Remember Hana for her dedication, the games she played, the points she scored.Remember Hana for her cleverness, sarcastic remarks, and perfectly timed eye rolls.Remember Hana for her love of lights, though she was a beacon for others.Remember Hana for Hana, always being the thoughtful, incandescent, loyal person one couldn’t help but love.
Thank you Hana, for always being you. We all hope to live every moment, laugh every day, and love beyond words like you
