MIRANDA HARSHMAN Obituary


3/24/84-4/3/2014

Miranda James Harshman was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Everyone that knew Miranda knows what a caring and kindhearted person she was and will forever remain to be in our hearts. She was the type of person who put others before herself. She was constantly baking and making special gifts for her family and friends. Those of us who were blessed enough to have her in our lives know the kind of love and care she put into everything she did.

Miranda fought long and hard during the last months of her life. She didn't understand why everyone thought she was brave or why they thought she was strong. Well Miranda, you were brave because you woke up every morning to fight a battle you didn't want to fight and you didn't even do it for yourself. You did it for your family. You did it for your children. You did it for everyone else who wasn't ready to let you go. You were strong when you went though Chemo therapy and instead of curling up into a ball you baked cookies for the nurses. You were strong when you could barely talk or lift your hands you still insisted on holding your nephew for the first time. You were strong when you wrote letters to your family so we would have your words to hold onto when you went away. You were strong enough to fight for every single breath you took for months and months. You were strong enough to give people the very best of you all the way up to the end. You gave your all and even though we want more time with you we are happy to know you are finally at rest.

Services will be held Monday April 14th at 2:00 PM at The Word of Faith Center 1350 S. Rainer Kennewick WA 99337.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. You are that person that came into my life and it hurts so to have you gone.. I Love you Miranda
