Kiwi Hannah Harding

Kiwi Hannah Harding was born into this world on September 21, 2014 in Clarksville, TN, even as her beautiful heartbeat trailed away.

Kiwi is the first child of William (Bill) Michael Harding of Abbot Village, ME and Terri Annette (Wright) Harding of Ontario, CA. She was born of adversity in the 18th week of pregnancy, but lived happily in the comfort of the womb until the moment of delivery occurred.

The love for this child is reflected in the tremendous spiritual family of brothers and sisters in Christ of Clarksville; and around the world, who prayed for this child and were impacted by her story. Even as this pregnancy was the response of many years of prayer, and trusting in the promises of Jesus, so also the final days leading up to the birth were covered in prayer, and believing in God for a miracle. The ripple affect of those who believed by faith that God was in control will be credited as righteousness to those who believed. "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." II Corinthians 12:9.

Kiwi is survived by her parents, Bill and Terri Harding ; paternal grandparents, Michael Richard Stephanak of Greene, ME, Patricia Mae Harding of Abbot Village, ME; maternal grandparents, Terry Vincent Wright of Anaheim, CA, Tonette Jackson of Phoenix, AZ; as well as two great-grandmothers, one great-grandfather, five aunts and uncles, many cousins, and a host of church family.

Memorial services to be announced at a later date.
