I can believe you fifth birthday passed. I think of you every day and still remember all the many faces of "HALEIGH". You will always have a special place in my heart. You are still loved by all of us on Craycroft who were lucky enough to care for you and your wonderful family. Mark and Lisa I think of you guys all the time and wonder how you are doing. It is still hard to believe that so much time has gone by. It still fells like yesterday. You guys take care and maybe one day you can come and see us again. We would love to see you. Haleigh my little angle I love you and miss you.

Just came by to visit Haleigh's page. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear sweet daughter. Words cannot express. Our daughter, Katia-age 3, was diagnosed with AML M4 in April 2002 and finished treatment in September 2002. She has since been in remission and for that we are thankful. I try to learn more about this disease each day. Love,Tracy Solomon

Fresno, CA Fresno - Sunday, November 03, 2002 at 01:10 AM (CST)I have just read about Haleigh, she was adorable. This really brought home to me how much you can take your kids for granted - my 5 year old is called Hayleigh - and I could never imagine my life without her or my 3 year old, Megan. Megan has a rare chromosome disorder called Ring 18 which causes growth & development delays but whatever her future holds she is here and she is healthy. My heart really breaks for you, life can be so unfair.

Seeing you at the hospital a couple of weeks ago certainly exhibits the strength your family has, you are all so brave. Thank you so much for the wagon for the floor, and visiting other patients; how do you do it? I look at Haleigh's picture so often and she makes my heart flutter, she always will, what a beautiful child, so giving of love at her tender age, an inspiration to us all. Take care of yourselves always. Sincerely, Mary Grove VCH, (CHCC)

The photo you gave of Haleigh is now nicely framed and sitting on a shelf above the charge desk. She looks so beautiful, the little precious angel that she is. She is not forgotten. She will always hold a special place in my heart.

Fraser, MI USA - Saturday, March 02, 2002 at 09:40 AM (CST)You Meant So Much
You meant so much to all of us, You were special and that's no lie. You brightened up the darkest day, And the cloudiest sky. Your smile alone warmed hearts, Your laugh was like music to hear. I would give absolutely anything, To have you well and standing here Not a second passes, When your not on our minds, Your love we will never forget, The hurt will ease in time. Many tears I've seen and cried, They've all poured out like rain, I know that you are happy now, No longer in any pain.

Lisa and Mark,
Just like Shanna said, not a day goes by that I don't think about you and wonder how you're doing. Haleigh is not forgotten, we speak of her everyday at work, remembering her with fond memories of the sweetheart she was. We also wonder how you are doing. I know the pain is still unbearable, yet you're trying to go on with your daily lives. What a difficult thing to do when your heart is hurting so. I pray for you daily, praying that the pain is less and the memories of Angel Haleigh bring smiles to your face.
Please give us a call or I'll give you a call next week. I've misplaced your phone number.
Love,

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and the pain you are going through. I know that there is nothing that I can say to take away the pain, however I want you to know that you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
Haleigh and her incredible family will always have a special place in my heart. Your angel and the care you gave her was something that I can't put into words. Haleigh was such a fighter all the way to the end. Lisa you and your family gave all of your love and caring to her, never complaining about anything. I know that it was hard to be in the hospital for such a long time. You all have been blessed by God for the love you provided for Haleigh. We at Valley Childrens have been blessed to have Haleigh with us during her illness and able to see such a loving gift that you gave your daughter. This is something that Craycroft Staff will never forget. Room 1618 is our angel room.
I know this won't take away your pain, however just think of Haleigh in Heaven with Jesus. She is singing and dancing, yet I know she looks down and feels sad for her family. One day we will all be able to rejoice together.
With Love,
Diane

You walked each step with her and never waivered. You were called upon to stand tall and strong along side your precious little one. You completed your mission with love and your strength is overwhelming to those of us who care for you. I admire both of you for the ultimate sacrifices you were called upon to endure and did so willingly and totally. Words may appear empty at a time like this, but love prevails.

- Sunday, December 02, 2001 at 12:13 PM (CST)When I met Haleigh the first things that struck me were her kind & sweet nature, her beautiful smile, and a look in her eyes that told me she is wise beyond time. Never have I met a child who takes everything in stride.
Mark and Lisa, you are the parents that every child should have. I admire you both beyond words.
I don't understand why this horrid disease comes and invades the bodies of vibrant, beautiful children. I only hope and pray for a cure and for Haleigh.
Lisa and Mark you and your family are part of the Craycroft family and we all love you. If you should need anything you need only to ask.
With Love Annie

Clovis, CA USA - Saturday, December 01, 2001 at 10:01 AM (CST)Angel Haleigh, how do I describe you? Angelic? Courageous? Brave? Oh, there are so many ways that I see you and your precious family that loves you. You are not only loved by your wonderful family, but you are loved by the staff at Valley Children's. The first question most of us ask as soon as we arrive at work is "How's Haleigh?" "How are Lisa and Mark?" We (the staff at Valley Children's) cannot put into words our love for you. I know that I feel so helpless in helping to cure Haleigh - that's what we're supposed to do! We have prayed for a cure...and are still waiting. May God grant us with a cure for you.
Lisa and Mark, what a privelege it was to transport Haleigh to Stanford last Monday. The last thing I wanted was for a "stranger" (another transport nurse) to take Haleigh. She does know the staff on Craycroft at Valley Children's and I truly feel that she trusts us. I do wish the outcome of our trip was the one we all were hoping for.
For now, Lisa and Mark, try and take comfort in knowing that there are so many prayers out there for Haleigh. Also know that we support you completely in what decisions you may have to make. We're going to keep praying...We're going to keep loving Haleigh...
If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. For Haleigh or your family, we want to help.
With Love,
Diane

Bakersfield, CA USA - Thursday, November 29, 2001 at 12:49 PM (CST)The first time I saw Haleigh I fell i love with her. Every day I take care of her I love her even more. For someone so little she has more courage and strength than anyone beyond her years. She always has a smile on her face and when she is felling bad she still tries so hard to be her same cheery self. I admire Mark and Lisa for being so strong and helping her fight this disease. You two are wonderful parents. Haleigh has truly touched my life.
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS,
Shanna
