Haley's life on earth would seem too short for many, but her time here touched the lives of all who knew her. Although Haley's health issues took much away from her, she possessed strength, perseverance, and an ability to overcome incredible odds and challenges. She possessed a vibrant spirit with the most sincere and loving heart, who never complained about her hardships. Haley enjoyed dancing, listening to music, shopping, parties, and sitting outside. She loved jewelry, fashion, and anything with "bling." Haley's passing will remind others that life should be celebrated. She taught us how to love, smile, dance, and never stop fighting.
