Tiahna Fox These photos are of hannah and evvy when I was born and came home from the hospital :D
Tiahna Fox From a young age hannah has always been so talented at art. When she lived with us she would do lots of portraits of us kids (which I am yet to find in our storage). But here is a painting of some flowers we have from 2006.
Tiahna Fox Hannah was my big sister and she lived with us while I was a kid. I remember her coming on our holidays and trips away (when these pictures were taken). And being together at christmas time and birthdays- always so much fun in our crazy large family- which Hannah went on to have herself! She was such a fun caring person; and based on how she treated her siblings growing up, she went on to be an amazing mother. Her smile, laughter and kind nature will be always missed in my life- she always made the effort to stay in contact even if I was on the other side of the globe. So much love for hannah <3
Nik Bell We graduated high school, I remember how proud I was of Hannah I almost cried as she waddled across the stage. She was heavily pregnant with Avalon. To the point we though Hannah would miss graduation because that morning she was in hospital with what we thought at the time was labour pains. Turns out it was Braxton Hicks. The gratuating class actually had a betting pool going for what day Avalon would arrive I had pegged graduation day I thought I had won. Anyway as Hannah walked across that stage to receive her highschool certificate and not only her highschool certificate but top student award for Art (but let's face it there was no one better at art then Hannah) they asked what he plans for the future was. Hannah answer so proudly to be a mum, to be the best Mum she could be. She lived up to that plus more every single day. A couple days after graduation a few of us went to sizzler for dinner this was the start of a bit of a tradition of sizzler nights for celebration and boy we found some random things to celebrate when we wanted to. Here a few photos from our sizzler trips. I don't have any from graduation sadly as this was before smart phones became a big thing, yes we are that old

Kirsty Holland The first time I met Hannah was at Gosnells Baptist Playgroup around October 2010. She was there for the first time and I had started going in the June. I was late, but there was this massive group of women clogging up the doorway. They were all crowded around a table where this tiny young woman (Hannah) was sitting at the head. It reminded me of the Queen holding court. She was talking about her experience being a mum and all the other women were enthralled. I remember thinking to myself "Who is this girl that everyone who is normally so shy and aloof is suddenly all up close and talking to her?" Then she told them how old she was and that she was expecting Moriah and the awe factor went up a few notches! Hannah said she had attended Gosnells Baptist Playgroup as a kid herself and now that she was a mum she intended to come here too. So with little brother Jeremy, Toddler Avalon and eventually Moriah in tow, she would rock up to playgroup each week and have a ball. When Moriah was born she turned up 2 days later and shocked everyone again! I decided one day soon after that first day to go get to know this amazing girl. So I sat myself down next to her at the play kitchen and introduced myself. We hit it off and the rest is history. Every Thursday morning of school term for 7 years we attended GBC Playgroup. It was the best playgroup around. We would stick the babies on the rug, get our first hot coffee and tea of the week (Because they would always get cold before we had a chance to finish them at home) and then we would get chin-wagging. We haven't really stopped since. From Playgroup, we ended up filling up our week with get together, playdates and groups. Eventually our schedule revolved around the places that would help us get stuff done. Monday was MOPs, Tuesday was our day off, Wednesday was the SDA craft group at Livingston, Thursdays was Playgroup at GBC and Friday was Busy Finger's craft group at Kelmscott Church or Christ. We made so many friends, learnt so many skills, finished so many projects and gave our kids lots of play time together. In the times where we couldn't make it to our groups, we would meet at her house and I would borrow her sewing machine and try and get everything done that I could. Without her allowing me that time in her busy schedule I never would have got my biggest projects out of the way. We even planned her wedding, made the girls' flower girls dresses, and heaps of the other bits and pieces during these meet ups. If given the opportunity to broker world peace and end poverty in these time slots, I am sure we would have achieved it!

Kirsty Holland Hannah started her first business officially in September 2011. It was called "Fox Portraits" and she started a Facebook page to take commissions and sell art. She was a capable artist in every medium. Oils, acrylic, oil pastel, chalk pastel, watercolour, pencil, and pyrography wood burning. She was already well known within the horse world as an artist capable of capturing the likeness and essence of the animals she worked with. She created horse name plates for stables, painted and drew art for owners and one time we even saw her artwork in photos for a house for sale! Hannah created artwork for people all over Perth and in 2017 she started creating wood burning on essential oils boxes and she created them as both commissions and pre-made ones people could purchase.
Kirsty Holland Avalon's 2nd birthday was held at the old Gosnells horse property. There are more photos from that day and I hope someone else can add them! But Hannah organised for all the kids to get a pony ride. It was Ayrton's first horse ride and his first real birthday party for one of his own friends. She saddled him up and took him around the yard like a pro. Hannah went on to help run a Pony Ride business where she would use coloured chalk to colour the ponies in for kids birthday parties. She did the whole business side of taking bookings, getting insurances and registrations, looking after customers, prepping the horses and ponies and everything else. She was an amazing business woman.
Kirsty Holland My son's 2nd birthday party was planned the week after we lost our daughter. I had planned to just have some friends around for a BBQ with their kids, letting our toddlers all play with playdough and face paints. But it was so hot it was a bit of a disaster and with everything going on I was a bit shaky. Hannah noticed and jumped straight in. Bossing Leighton around and getting him to help hang decorations and setup. She grabbed the face paints and started fixing the terrible job I was doing on the kids. Then I remembered that she was a professional artist! And the kids started lining up. I was so relieved to have her there to help. She even cleaned up after and supplied many hugs. She brought such calm and peace wherever she went. The kids never knew the difference. But I was so relieved for all she did for us.
Sammy McLeod Hannah was so full of life and love with a heart made of gold, always smiling and laughing with everyone. She loved seeing being around the horses and seeing Avalon ride the ponies. I have so many fond memories of her around the barn and pony club , she always brightened your day. She was truly a ray of sunshine and her light wonβt be forgotten β€οΈ
Kirsty Holland Hannah helped organise a Blessingway for me. A chance for the ladies from our group at church (Bethwyn's ladies group) to get together and pray for me before I had my twins. That night we had a heap of people pull out for all sorts of reasons, but Hannah came prepared. She added a glass bead to the bracelet the women made me and she had painted the most beautiful canvas for me and decorated it with calligraphy. She had told me her mum, Michelle, had made her learn it. She hated it at the time but she was so thankful afterwards that she had learnt. The verse she gave me was: "For I know the plans I have for you,β declares the Lord, βplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.: Jeremiah 29:11 Part way through the blessingway, which was in my loungeroom, my husband comes running in with the phone and says I need to take the call. It was a friend whose baby daughter had just been revived and taken to PMH. She had been a SIDS near miss. Immediately Hannah stood up and started praying and declaring life over the baby girl. That she would live and not die and declare the works of the Lord forever. We prayed for her the rest of the night and wherever possible Hannah followed up with me to pray for her. Hannah had such huge faith. She trusted God loved her and wanted good for her, so she prayed everything in line with that. She blessed me and helped increase my faith that no problem was too small or too big to ask God to be involved.
Kirsty Holland Hannah was the most amazing crochet-er I have ever seen. She could replicate any pattern of anything (Even if it wasn't crochet to begin with!) just by looking at it. She knew how to read American and UK patterns and would translate and re-write them for other people. She once told me that when she was a kid and her mum, Michelle, would say "Lights out!" she would continue crocheting in the dark. She could crochet by feel and she kept count in her head even while having a full on conversation. She knew the pattern and that was going on in a different part of her brain to whatever else was going on around her. She said summer was too hot for crocheting and looked forward to winter and sitting down with the girls and yarning. She once made my son a Minions hat for his birthday just by making up the pattern. She could make toys, clothes, bags, and even furniture out of crochet. She once tried to teach me but I was a terrible student and too slow. I couldn't get my hands around the way that she could. She would make the loops flow so smoothly and would kindly roll her eyes when I made a mistake and got so frustrated I threw it in. When I finally got the hang of it she was so proud, like a mama duck. Always full of compliments even when my thing was ugly. She loved to sit around with a group of other crafters and just create.

Kirsty Holland Hannah was pregnant with Dakota and maybe a few days overdue when she made it to our kids birthday party. Despite heat, and being ready to give birth just 3 days later, she pushed through. For ages after, people came up to me and told me how awesome this pregnant friend of mine was and how they had hit it off with her. Wherever she went, no matter what she was going through, this woman made friends!

Kirsty Holland Hannah wanted to do something fun for her Hen's night. So we booked a high tea at Maranatha Christian Bookstore in Southern River. We organised party games, Mandy ran "How well do you know Hannah" and we all found out WAY too much about her. People contributed their favourite recipes and we played "Dress the bride" with toilet paper.
Kirsty Holland This is the face of a woman who likes to have the hair plucked out of her face by another woman while they laugh about it. This is Hannah 2 days before her wedding, dragging me along to threading to get our eyebrows done. I chickened out...
Kirsty Holland On the morning of Hannah's wedding the kids and Han arrived to get dressed and made up at my house. We had been in such a tizz in the days leading up to it. Even purchasing her white stockings the night before! But everything was ready and setup. We went to Triss' hair salon to get our hair done and Hannah was the queen on the day. She picked out how she wanted her hair done and kept everyone else calm. The girls played on the floor and with Aunty Taliah and the others. Hannah even braided her own extensions because Triss knew how nimble her fingers were at braiding. Before we knew it, we were on the road again and back to my house for dressing and makeup. We had spent ages selecting just the right shades of everything. Hannah's favourite colour was Apricot and everything about her makeup and mine reflected that. The girls were dressed in the colours that she always colour coded them in. Avalon was Pink, Moriah was Purple and Dakota was Yellow. All of them so excited to be princesses for a day! Finally Patrick turned up and yelled at us all and told us to get a move on. We chucked Hannah in her dress and quickly posed for some photos before hitting the road. Of course the big pink truck played a central role as we all piled in and Patrick drove us. At one point we had to pull over so other guests could make it in time. Hannah just laughed and smiled the entire day. She was so happy. Finally the moment came for us to get out and walk down the aisle. We could barely hold her back. She wanted to charge up that aisle. She didn't wear boots for nothing! During the ceremony Jules, the celebrant and our friend, had organised to give a sermon that used illustrations from 4WDing. Something Hannah and Leighton love doing. He organised for my son Ayrton to bring up props to show how the different tools we have for 4WDing could be used as an analogy for getting through marriage. A steering wheel, a spotlight and a tow strap. Hannah thought this was hilarious. When they finally got to the "I DO's" I don't think there was a dry eye in the place. It was such a beautiful day and I was so honoured to get to serve, pray for and love you Hannah. You blessed me beyond measure. It was the greatest gift.

Kirsty Holland It is now that I realise how hard it was to capture Hannah on the go when she was on a mission. On my 30th Birthday she co-ordinated with my husband Spud, to prepare and throw this surprise birthday party for me (Given the number of surprise parties she threw for people, I think she really liked them!). They cleared out our shed, got cake, gifts and party food, decorated and invited people all before I had a chance to get home from the movie I popped out to see. Hannah could make things happen! Then somehow not appear in the photos for evidence of it! My best parties are when Hannah and Leighton stepped in and took over.
Kirsty Holland Hannah and I went to Fancote Park for my girls birthday party. We ran around in the castle and they all got to pretend they were princesses for the morning. Hannah said it was one of her hangouts in high school.
Kirsty Holland Hannah was on the team at Camillo MOPs and Huntingdale MOPs. But it started with Camillo based out of Kelmscott church of Christ. One of the games that we loved playing was the chocolate game. You have to roll 2 x 6 on the dice and then you get to have a crack at eating as many squares of chocolate that you can. To make it that much more difficult we threw in the added hurdle of dressing in a cardigan, hat and scarf. Hannah was THE best at party games. If you have an ego that gets bruised by not winning, don't play with her. She will wipe the floor with you! In addition to being a MOPs Mum Hannah also ran the hospitality and welcoming committee. Making sure that mums got a break and enjoyed it each fortnight. She planned all the food, drinks, gift bags, birthday cards, and anything else that would give mums a moment to feel special. She had such a huge heart for them. She also helped out with discussion group leading. Facillitating moments for mums to go deeper on the content that was taught, guiding and advising them in areas of need, and making sure that they were going ok overall. She would offer to take them out for coffee on non-MOPS days and organised playdates during the school holidays when MOPs wasn't on. MOPs was Hannah's jam.
Kirsty Holland In 2016 Hannah did Joshua Generation at Life City Church. It was an equipping ministry course that ran 2 nights per week with teaching from David Storer, visiting teachers and remote teaching from Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry. Ontop of this Hannah also volunteered at the church in different roles each Sunday. Between services our kids would play and on this day we ducked down to the fancy housing estate down from the church and had takeaway for dinner while the kids played.
Mehrzad Jahanbin This was my birthday at Joshua Generation 2016. There was no one in this class who didnβt love Hannah. She was always kind, always cheerful and always inspirational to each and everyone of us.
Kirsty Holland Naomi got Hannah and I tickets to a show at Roleystone theatre. That year we had also gone on nail dates, dinners and heaps of coffee together. Our break away mum nights.

Kirsty Holland Each year MOPs holds a Pre-conference dinner for the leaders who will be prepping for the year ahead. In 2017 we went to the "Free Indeed" Masqurade ball. During dinner the keynote speaker encouraged us to remove the mask and become who we were made to be. It was such a fun time. We got all dressed up and did makeup and things that we didn't have much time for these days!
Kirsty Holland Hannah was asked to be one of the speakers at the 2017 MOPs WA State Conference. She was amazing. Hannah was a gifted public speaker. She spoke at our MOPs group multiple times. She was able to ask God what she should talk about, scribble some dot points and then speak confidently from that for the allotted time. Sometimes with a baby on her hip. She was amazing. I will try and find the notes from this talk, but her insight, wisdom, teaching and everything were so insightful. She was a well respected member of MOPs WA. She was asked to co-ordinate 2 chapters at different times and she was able to lead the teams of women under her to get things done. She was so graceful and gentle as a leader too.
Kirsty Holland Is it possible for parents to enjoy Colin Buchanan concerts more than the kids do? Yes. Hannah, Jayme and I organised to go to the Koorong at Mt Lawley for the Colin concert in the carpark. It was AWESOME. We got our kids in early, pushed them to the front and then sat off to the side with baby Isaiah and Bethel. We sang along at the top of our lungs and danced along. At the end, like the little groupies they were, our kids took up the most time and space with Colin for autographs and photos. It was probably the best concert any of us have ever been to!
Kirsty Holland Hannah's kids were asked to lead the Christmas songs for the MOPs Kids end of year meeting. Avalon took the microphone and sang along so all the younger kids would know what to do. At the end each kid got their little Christmas gift. During the meeting Hannah and some of the other leaders shared what their Christmas traditions were. MOPs was a whole family affair with the Frasers. The kids helped the younger kids, Leighton would help prep art and craft projects in his shed, and Hannah would do whatever was necessary. Such a giving and ministry focused family!
Kirsty Holland Bethel was just a few months old when Hannah and Leighton once again jumped in and helped me organised a birthday party. Leighton setup the scaletrix and Hannah helped me keep the kids entertained. Yet she always seemed to be behind me or out of shot when it came to the pics!
jayme williams She had the funniest face expressions ALWAYS we would laugh that she talked with her face. Hannah loved essential oils and all things natural and we started doing Doterra (essential oil company) together. She had a dream of getting all her friends essential oils for free and used to run classes on how to make diy natural home remedies. We failed in our attempt at business owners because we both used to just give them all away π We loved parks and always played on the playgrounds with our kids and laughed at the people who would looked confused why we seemed to play more and laugh and scream louder then the kids

Kirsty Holland In 2019-2020 I started Homeschooling with Hannah's guidance. Due to being heavily pregnant with Saydee at the time, we decided last minute that I would take as many kids as would fit in my car on a Homeschool excursion we had organised together. Avalon and Moriah came along and we went to the UWA Geology department for a guided tour by the retiring head of the museum there. It was all going smoothly till one of our kids piped up and said "Wasn't that what God created on the 3rd day?" and the guy went white. "You aren't creationists are you?" he asks very seriously. I laugh and keep him at bay while moving us onto the next exhibit, with all the kids whispering about how he wasn't a creationist. I was straight on the phone to Hannah to update her and was sending videos and photos throughout our travels. After the museum we stopped into the art gallery for a peep where the girls proudly told the curators that their mum was an artist (And probably a lot better than those on display!). The kids added to the art in foyer and we ended the day at Kings Park. Hannah welcomed home 2 drenched kids at the end of the day. We tried to do more joint homeschool stuff together in my time doing it, but thanks to pregnancy, babies and COVID, things kept us working separately for most of the time, apart from playdates. Hannah graciously and generously gave us her place at the Christian Homeschool Co-Op for the year she was away and my kids got to experience loads of stuff that way. Hannah made many of us brave to take on Homeschooling and she was totally committed to it as the only way to educate her kids. They were always her first priority and she did an amazing job.

Hannah and I met while studying at Tafe Thornlie campus, in a support worker course. I had to leave the course early due to a knee injury though within that time I met Hannah, who sat next to me/ or at the same table in general.

Evvy Carr Hannah was pregnant with Malachi at the same time I had my first pregnancy. Our pregnancies where 10 weeks apart but she had Malachi late and I had my twins early do they ended up being born only 6 weeks apart β€ She was so excited to be an aunty for the first time
Sarah Gunning Emelia's baby shower Hannah was a beautiful support person for Emelia during her pregnancy. She told us that she wouldn't have missed this baby shower for the world.
Sarah Gunning Hannah was an amazing support person for Emelia and myself during the birth of Noah. Poor Hannah was 41weeks pregnant with Malichi, but it didn't stop her racing to be with Emelia. We sat at the hospital for 6hrs. Hannah said it was the most magical experience being at Noah's birth. Malichi was born 2 days later.
Leighton Fraser Malachi Fraser was born
Sarah Gunning We decided to surprise Hannah by doing a trip to Korda. It was raining and Leighton was shovelling sand, trying to stop the water from puddling. Emelia and Avalon rode the horses around the property, while Hannah and myself drove it slowly with Noah and Malichi. Wish we were able to stay longer than a day.

Sarah Gunning Hanah's 30th What a fun party. We played games (scatagories, empire and a hilarious game of putting your nose on items that Amanda taught us) Kirsty made a beautiful birthday cake, which we all enjoyed. A party at Hannah's wouldn't be complete without a house full of kids and of course baby lambs.
Evvy Carr Back in July we all travelled down in Hannah's car to see our mum. It had been quite a while since the 5 of us (mum and her 4 kids) had all been together. The first photo was the video chat from when we were planning the trip. We took the opportunity to get some photos even though it was a cold day so we were all in plain winter clothes π We knew it was a special day but we didn't realise how important it actually was. It was the last time all 5 of us would be altogether again. It was the last chance to get these family photos with us all grown up. We were very close us 4 siblings. Even if we didn't see each other for a few weeks or months it didn't matter because we kept in daily contact on our messenger group chats by sharing photos and just talking about all sorts of things

David Atkinson One of my favourite memories, and my children, are of this holiday spent in Koorda. We had a fantastic few days experiencing the best Koorda had to offer. Without a doubt the best part was the time with Hannah and her beautiful children. Horse riding, exploring mountain tops, stunning displays of wild flowers, stepping on roadside snakes, feeding animals and bbqβs close to a roaring fire. Plus lots of love and laughter. The overwhelming joy of being treated as part of the family will never be forgotten.

Evvy Carr You were so many things including a great auntie β€β€ You knew I was pregnant before anyone else because I asked if a very faint line was a positive and you were certain I was pregnant. You were there for me throughout my pregnancy and when i unexpectedly got kept in hospital in hospital the night before I had them you went back to my house to help Jayden pack the right clothes I wanted. You wanted to wait downstairs in the Cafe and come meet them as soon as I was out of surgery π You offered to cook me meals while I was recovering but after a few meals I said no because we felt bad. You had six of your own to feed already. I miss the days when our babies (my twins and your youngest) were little and you would come over and we would talk while we fed and played with them. We would always stretch them out to see the size difference. Mine were born so tiny but they eventually caught up. You moved away but we still felt close because we messaged and shared photos everyday on our chat with us and Amanda. My most recent memories with you was when you came and saw my new house and when you came to the babies birthday party. I now treasure these photos and all the memories I have with you β€β€β€
Tam O'Loughlin-Kanny Han and I had been talking about riding together for a long time... But I kept putting it off because I was scared π This is the day she finally convinced me to get on that horse! So up I got... Only to discover that she was more petrified then I was as the last time she had been bucked off! It took her awhile to get on but she finally did it and off we went... Over turning 1 milestone... The next 1 was to ride together around the 200 acres. I will honour that next time I'm out at the farm just for you my beautiful friend π
