Jacquelan Hartman Obituary

Jacquelan Marque Hartman, 19, of Gilbert, unexpectedly passed away January 28, 2007. Jackie was a 2006 graduate of Higley High School and was employed at Banner Baywood Hospital. Jackie was enrolled in classes at Chandler-Gilbert Community College taking pre-nursing classes. Jackie never lost focus on her life-long dream to become a nurse. She will be best remembered for her enthusiastic smile and contagious laugh that was almost impossible to not laugh along with. Jackie will be sorely missed for her loving spirit, dedication, elegance and unwavering love for her sisters. Jackie is survived by her parents, David & Cara, and sisters, Randi & Brianna. Family would like to express our heart-felt gratitude to the countless friends, family and volunteers that assisted us in bringing closure. Jackie would be proud of each one of you, individually and collectively. Services for friends and family will be held at Stonebridge Manor, 4000 E. Palm St., Mesa, AZ 85215, at 11:00 am on March 3rd.

To Jackie's family, especially her sisters, my name is Kimarie. I just want to say that I understand the love and bond between sisters and I can't imagine the loss you feel. Please know that nothing can ever break your bond of sisterhood, not even death because Jackie will continue to look after you girls and her family. I feel that she was chosen to be an angel in Heaven to watch over her sisters. God Bless the Hartman family and her friends. You're all in my prayers. Rest in peace Jackie.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hartman and Randy, There aren't words available to share my love and sorrow to all of you. I loved teaching Jacki (and Randy) in third grade. Jacki was an angel child, so sweet and kind. She loved learning, school and her friends. Most of all I'll never forget how she adored her little sister Randy. (Now you are a beautiful young woman.) She was so proud of you and you were so cute bubbly and happy. I know she loved being your big sister and still does. I was sorry I wasn't able to give all of you a big hug and share my love. I have kept you in my prayers. You are such a wonderful family. It is my belief that families can be together forever. If there is ever anything I can do for you, please let me know. (They have my phone nb. at Burk or you can E-mail me at [email protected].)
With love and my prayers,
Mrs. Copple

Dear Jackie,
I remember when you were born and how happy your mom & dad were.
They both said come look at our little Angel and you had a very big smile on your face when your mom brought you into the office at AlliedSignal now Honeywell to show you off. “Wow” was the words that left my lips. How lucky you are to have such a pretty little girl. Your dad and mom were so proud of you.
But now you have returned to God’s side to perform the duties that you left behind when you came to earth 19 years ago.
Everyday that your mom, dad, Randi & Brianna will look up in the sky and they will know that the star that is shining brightly above is you.
God Bless the Hartman Family during these difficult times.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO OUR FRIEND WAS TAKEN FROM THIS EARTH

IT SEEMED WAY BEFORE HER TIME
JUST 19 YEARS AFTER HER BIRTH

BUT GOD NEEDED A SPECIAL ANGEL
ONE THAT WAS LOVING, GOOD AND KIND
AND SO HE CHOSE OUR JACKIE
AND LEFT US ALL BEHIND.

THE TEARS THAT WE SHED WILL BE MANY
AND OUR HEARTS WILL BE FILLED WITH PAIN.
BUT OUR LOSS UPON THIS EARTH
IS SURELY HEAVENS GAIN

AND EVEN THOUGH HER HEART NO LONER BEATS
HER MEMORY LIVES WITHIN
TIME CAN NEVER ERASE THE LOVE WE HAVE
FOR OUR DAUGHTER SISTER AND BEST FRIEND

"REST IN PEACE JACKIE

May God help you through this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. There is no pain greater than the loss of a child. We would like to pass on to you a poem we received when we lost a child in our family.


THE LORDS CHILD

I'll lend you, for a little time, a child of mine he said, for you to love the while she lives, and mourn for when she's dead, It may be four or five years,or twenty two or three, But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me.

She'll bring her charms to gladden you and should her stay be brief, you'll have her lovely memories or solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I've looked this wide world over in search of teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd lifes lanes I have selected you, Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to call her back again.

I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord thy will be done" for all the joy the child shall bring, the risk of grief will run. We'll shelter her with tenderness, well love her while we may, and for the happiness we've known, forever gratefull stay.

But shall the angels call for her much sooner then weve planned, will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the Hartman family:
There is no greater pain than the unexpected loss of your child. Nothing could have possibly prepared you for this devestating tragedy.
We never met Jackie, but she must have been someone very special. Just seeing the outpouring of love shown during this time demonstrates what a beautiful young lady she was. What a wonderful tribute to your family.
Someone once told us that those people who light up the room when they walk in do so because their time on earth is short, and that the time spent with them is extra special.
Jackie was a shining star!
Remember in your hearts her smile, her infectious laugh and her love for her family and for all who knew her.
Jackie may have never realized how many people's lives she touched, but as we have all seen, her short life has impacted hundreds and hundreds of people and her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of so many.
May the Lord, and Jackie, shine upon you and guide you through this difficult time.
