Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul; we may preserve it in the midst of bitterest pain, if our will remains firm and submissive. Peace in this life springs from acquiescence to, not in exemption from, suffering.

The Argus, FREMONT — She was an angel and was ready to be with God. That's what an aunt said Tuesday about 12-year-old Hannah Glenn Welker of Fremont, who was killed Sunday while riding in a minivan with her 16-year-old sister and 40-year-old mother near Bakersfield. "She was beautiful, really kind and had a big heart," said the aunt, Beth Woll. "She was always telling jokes and tried to cheer people up when they were sad. She had hair down to her bottom and had planned to donate it to Locks of Love." It's unclear where Hannah's family had been over the weekend, but they could have been heading back to Fremont from Southern California where the older girl, Sarah Welker, may have played in a soccer tournament, relatives said. The family is grieving. Many of them, including Hannah's siblings, Kyle and Katy, and father, Blaine, have headed to a Kern County hospital where mother Heidi Woll was recovering Tuesday from a punctured lung and broken ribs suffered in the crash. Sarah Welker had been released after suffering what authorities described as moderate injuries, but she is expected to undergo additional tests later this week, said Erik Woll, Heidi Woll's brother. "Everyone is heartbroken," he said. "Right now we're just trying to pick up the pieces."
Rom 12:17-21 NKJV
Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

About me: My dear sweet Hannah
Oct 12, 1995 - July 20, 2008 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." (John 14:1-3) Hannah Glenn Welker, beautiful and wise beyond her 12 years, led her brief life by amazing and loving example. She was nurturing and had an incredible sense of peace and joy about her that left a lasting impression on every person she touched. Hannah was gifted to her parents Blaine and Heidi Welker of Fremont on October 12, 1995. She was the beloved "baby sister" to her three incredible siblings, Katy, Sarah and Kyle. At a very young age, Hannah excitedly gave her heart and life to Jesus. At the tender age of 3, Hannah asked to be baptized. She found she enjoyed the proclamation of baptism so much that she would spontaneously request to be baptized on multiple occasions, saying "It makes me feel clean inside and close to Jesus!" Hannah took great joy in personally praying for the hurting and anyone needing a healing touch, and in bringing laughter by sharing her very unique brand of humor. Hannah enjoyed attending Lasting Heritage Academy Christian School, and would have entered the seventh grade in the fall. She joyfully attended Bridges Community Church in Fremont, and also very much loved her church family at Harvest House Church in Fremont. Hannah was an avid soccer player and passionately loved playing with her North Valley San Jose Thunder Soccer team. Hannah gathered a multitude of friends both old and young over her 7 years of playing soccer all over Northern California. Hannah's life epitomized a daily walk with many loved ones and with God. On Sunday July 20th, Hannah went on her familiar daily walk with her Lord and continued walking onto the Streets of Gold in Heaven. Hannah had looked forward to donating her long beautiful hair to Locks of Love, and the family encourages all to donate to this worthwhile cause. Visit www.locksoflove.org for more information. In addition to her parents and siblings, Hannah will live forever in the hearts of her grandparents Vic and Janet Welker, Karin Woll, and Ron and Pep Woll; great-grandmother Ella Linder; aunts and uncles Melinda Morgan, Brad and Tracy Welker, Wendy Espeleta, Kim Chairez, Kaarin and John Doyle, Erik and Beth Woll, Korisa Woll, Paul Chairez, Gerald Nelson, Shelly Fortier, Dave Morgan, and Patty Welker; cousins Malia, Paula, James, Tyler, Emily, Michael, Alex, Jeremy, Megan, Randy, Alisha, Tyler, Jessica, Jacob, Kate, Jay, Grace, and Adam; godparents Pete and Tanya Castro; many extended family members; her amazing North Valley San Jose Thunder family; and many beloved friends, young and old, whose lives she touched. She joins her uncles Bryan Welker and Halbert Espeleta, her aunt Rhonda Welker, and dear kindred spirit Jack Sabin, as well as other loving family members who went on to glory before her. A service celebrating Hannah's brief and lovely time here on earth will be held Tuesday, August 5th, beginning at 3:47pm (47 was Hannah's favorite number), at Bridges Community Church
