Title
Columbus City Council wishes to express our sympathy and sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late G. Hannah Dillard.
Body
Hannah will be remembered for being a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend who gave so much to so many. Hannah left an indelible impression on the people whose lives she touched and she will be sorely missed.
As a former executive director of Action for Children, Hannah was committed to quality care and education of young children for more than three decades. Under leadership, the agency developed the first How to Choose Child Care booklet, a guide to help working parents with their childcare search. The seeds for creation of the highly successful after-school program, Capital Kids, were rooted in her unwavering dedication to the care and educational needs of children and families.
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, and whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life." Hannah is no longer in this earthly place, but she still lives. She lives in her husband, children and in all whose lives she touched.
God has given us friends to lean on for support and prayers to help us through these difficult times. Our condolences and prayers are with the family during this period of bereavement. May God's arms of comfort bring you peace.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
That this Council does hereby pay tribute to the memory of a truly honorable woman.
