Hanna May Cini "flew to be an angel" Friday, April 17, 2009. In the spirit befitting this angel, Hanna was an organ donor and will continue to touch and save the lives of many exactly as she touched us already.

Hanna was born May 22, 2002, to Nigel and Robin Cini. Hanna attended preschool and kindergarten at Woodland Montessori School and was currently a first-grader at Fair-Mont-Egan.

Hanna was always full of energy, hugs and love. Her heartfelt compassion for others was far beyond her age. She was always hugging and loving anyone and everyone around her. Hanna truly radiated love and joy and brought it with her into any room she danced into.

She was an aspiring artist and felt that art had the power to make people happy. With her mom's help, she created Hanna's Dream, a nonprofit organization that collects art supplies to deliver to kids in need in Third World countries. Hanna's spirit and compassion will continue to touch people all around the world. Please see www.hannas-dream.com.

Hanna loved her Mommy, drawing and creating art, dancing, playing with her friends and her brother Bayden, horses, butterflies, lady bugs, the ocean, traveling and living life to its fullest. She brought many, many giggles and much silliness to everyone around her and was an instant friend to anyone she met.

She is survived by her loving parents, Robin and Nigel Cini; and her little brother, Bayden, whom she adored; grandparents, Gary Lyon and Barbara Kraintz, and Tony Cini and Sandra Cornall; great-grandparents, Nick and Sandy Kraintz, and Betty Beaulac; great-great grandpa, Robert DeMorest; and lots of loving aunts and uncles, close family, and many, many friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests people wishing to memorialize Hanna contribute art supplies or money to Hanna's Dream. Cash donations can be made at any First Interstate Bank.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. today, April 23, at the Christian Center in Kalispell, with Pastor Weaver officiating. If you wish to honor Hanna, please bring an art supply to the memorial.
