Please Keep Victor Davis Hanson in Your Thoughts and Prayers

We at PJ Media were saddened to learn that the daughter of Victor Davis Hanson, author, educator, and PJ Media columnist, died on November 13 after a short illness.

Susannah Merry Hanson was 27.

In a beautiful, moving tribute to his daughter, Dr. Hanson tells us of Susannah’s marvelous gifts:

Susannah, known to her family and friends as “Suzy,” was beloved by anyone who encountered her infectious laugh and her zeal for life and adventure. But she was perhaps best known for the human kindness she extended to everyone she met. She was especially drawn to the sick and elderly, which reflected her sense of public service. On the European trips she ensured that no tour member was ever left alone or without companionship.

Her family and friends feel blessed that even for such a brief time that they were able to be with such a kind soul and accomplished talent. She grew up packing fruit and working in the fields of the family farm, a childhood that fostered a singular work ethic, gave her a sense of independence and fearlessness, and grounded her in reality and modesty wherever she worked and traveled. She loved the San Joaquin Valley, and despite her residence and visits abroad, she always managed to return to the farm, where she felt most at home with her family and childhood friends.

Please keep our friend and colleague, Victor Davis Hanson, in your thoughts and prayers

Susannah and the Hanson family will be in prayers.
It is difficult for any parent to lose a child, especially at such a young age.
Peace be with the Hanson family.

Terrible thing. I lost a child several years ago, and while I don’t know how it is for them, it is the hardest thing I have ever been through.

Prayers for this family. May the Lord bring them comfort.

Of course VDH is also one of the best writers in the business along with Thomas Sowell and Lowry.
