Our beloved Haley-bug passed away at 3:00 am on February 28, 2010 due to surgical and post-operative complications. We held her in our arms as she left for Heaven and the hugs and kisses of Grandpa McMillan and Grandma Mitchell. We are so grateful that the last thing she remembered was sleeping peacefully in our arms before surgery. She was even sedated before they took her away from us, so we know that she slept through everything. She was and always will be the best thing that ever happened to us. We didn't know that it was possible for our hearts to shatter into such small pieces and yet still survive. A funeral service will be held at Cardaras Funeral Home in Logan, Ohio at 11 am on Wednesday the 3rd with a graveside service immediately following. Everyone is welcome.
We love you more than anything in the whole world Haley-bug, thank you for the best 5.5 months of our lives. ~ Mommy & Daddy
My heart is breaking for you and your family. Your love and support for Haley shined throughout the hospital.

Oh I'm just so, so sorry Kristy. I can barely type through the tears.
We love you guys.
Oh Kristy. If I could hug you right now I don't think I would ever let go.
I'm praying for you. I'm weeping for you. I'm here for you...if you need ANYTHING. Ever.

Kristy, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through, but I feel heart-sick just thinking about it. :( :(
ReplyDeleteKristy,
ReplyDeleteI am a long time friend of your Mom's and we just got in touch with each other a week ago. I've been reading your blog and want you to know that my heart goes out to you and your family. I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through. Just know that God is there for you. It's so hard to understand why something like this has to happen.
God Bless you and your family.

Kristy and Chad,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Haley's life with all of us and allowing us to experience the joy and sweetness of such a beautiful girl.

Love,

Dear Kristy and Chad,
ReplyDeleteMy heart is breaking for you as I write this through tears. Haley is such a beautiful and brave soul who exhibited amazing courage and strength. I wish I had met her in person; but I know that I will never forget her.
I know what it's like to lose a baby, but each of our experiences are unique to us as individuals and so I find myself at a loss as to what to say to try to comfort you. I don't know that there is much that can bring comfort right now, other than knowing that Haley is with God in heaven and lives on with Him. She is your angel watching over you.
I will keep you in my prayers that God will give you the strength you need to get through this.
All my love,
Tobie
I too want to think you and Chad for sharing your precious daughter with everyone. I, like most everyone else, have been following her blog daily. I was very devastated to learn the news of your loss. I still have no idea of words to say to express my feelings and sadness for you and your family. Haley will always be loved and remembered from those that near and far, whether people know her or know of her.

Kristy,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't even know about this blog or that she was sick. This all surprised me. Again I'm sorry.

I keep coming back to this blog because I hope that this has all just been a bad dream. The daily Haley always made my day little brighter. I looked forward to reading about her and seeing her beautiful face. I will always carry her precious smile in my minds eye & heart forever.
ReplyDeleteI wish, I could be there tomorrow to celebrate her amazing life. On Sunday at Sophia's birthday we are getting five balloons and attaching her name and then releasing them to heaven for her.
Thank you for sharing her incredible journey in this blog.
Kristy,
ReplyDeleteAgain, I am so sorry. I always truly believed there would be a happy ending to Haley's struggles. She was a darling angel in life and she will be even more so in Heaven.
Know I am thinking of you and Chad and praying that you will find the strength to survive this terrible loss together. Bless you both, with peace and precious memories that you hold dear forever.
