Dear family of Dinah Hanna, I was saddened to hear of your loss. Dinah shared her love with family and friends alike with that infectious…SMILE! of hers. The memories I have of her growing up down home, Chance, MD that is will forever linger in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are for her family and brothers and sisters, Cheryl, Janeen, Brewington Jr, and Kevin. May our Lord and saviour comfort you, at this difficult hour. Lovingly submitted, Stanetta and Boobi
