Haley: I met you 10 years ago when I moved to MIL, you swam off on my dock with your brothers and cousins as you did for years. I have always remembered your your beautiful smile and energic spirt and the time we spent at the emergenty room. It was so sad to see you again in the MI Monitor, may God be with your family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you in this devastating time. We don't know each other but I too understand your pain and know that there are little words to comfort you; but know that that others are praying for you. I pray that God will give you the continued strength you so dearly need.

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.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Haley's family and friends. Haley- we had some good times together- you were like my little sis- I gave ya all my hand-me-downs! You are a great person and I am blessed to have had you in my life the short time that I did. I just saw you a week or so ago at vinnie's- I'm glad God gave me that chance to see you one more time. I know you are in a better place and I try not to cry at the thought of your passing but rather rejoice in your memory....but it's so hard. I'll miss you girl!

Dearest Family, Our Prayers are with you at this heartbreaking time,Haley was a very special little girl in our lives. We had just a short time with her, but she would light up the room with her smile when she entered it. Our hearts will be broken for quite awhile but just to have had this special little girl a part of our family is something that we will hold to our hearts forever. I know she is in a far better place now and we know she is very happy to be along side of her brother,and together they will wait for us all to be reunited again one day.Please always remember our family is there for each other no matter what the reason and we will moan the lost of our little one but to know we will be together again one day will help us through .May God be with the family and keep them safe and ease the sadness in all our hearts. We love all of you .
