Haley Nichole Marie Close

I haven’t seen Haley since they moved from Mtn. Grove, Mo to TX,. A long time ago. When they lived up here I would sometimes get a chance to be with her when her mom had some shopping to do. She was as always a happy smiling little lady when I talked to her.

I got to meet Haley when she was very young, in Bolivia. Even with all of the disabilities she faced, she got to fly on a plane and see a different country. She still enjoyed her time there, including the concert we went to together. It was really loud in there, too (really, it was too loud, but it was still fun). I know you are now enjoying the music the angels make and probably telling them which songs to sing next. You will be missed, Haley. You won't ever be forgotten.

I never met Haley in person, but I talked with Rene about her many times. Over the years we prayed together many times for the onslaught of challenges the devil brought her way. Haley was an overcomer who could not be kept down, and had soooooo many victories in the name of Jesus! Thank you, Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for Haley's life and her impact upon others. Thank you that she is now with you in Paradise, in your joyful presence, and with a glorified body. We love you, Haley. God bless you, Rene, and all the family. Love, Bobby

The biggest memory of Haley is when I would stop by the house, a soon as she heard my voice she was looking for me. And once I started talking to her a big smile would appear on her face that lit up the room. Rest easy sweet one!
