I cannot believe it has been 7 years. I have never forgotten you Halie, and I still think of you often. Happy Heavenly Birthday!

So sad. Hard to believe the news even now.

Haile, I will never forget you. Though we only worked together for two years, you left an impression on me. I speak of you often at work, though most of the people you knew here have moved on, those of us who had the pleasure to work with you, and be your work family still love you, and miss you. Every time I see someone "riding goofy" I think of you, and it makes me smile.
Love and peace to your family.

Dear Halie,

You are missed!! Think of you often, your sweetness left a deep impression on my heart. I will never see a skateboarder without picturing you! I remember seeing you on campus one day when I was picking up equipment. You were so excited to see us and demanded to know what we were doing on your turf since you usually only saw us at the office when you came in. It was a sweet moment I will never forget how giddy you were and how hard we laughed! Love you always!

Oh Halie, I still think of you all of the time. You would be so proud of your brother Joe, he graduated from college. Every time I see a young women on a skateboard, I think of you, and how you told me you road goofy, you know what that means. Happy birthday third birthday in heaven.

Dear Halie, It is so hard to believe it has been two long years since I saw your beautiful smile greeting me that last morning you were here with us. You left big shoes to fill with the work you did for me. It was always exciting giving you a project because you would always give me a finished project that was so much more than I could ask! Mostly I miss your sweet smile, kind heart and loving disposition! Keep a sit next to you for me in heaven! Love you always! Sherri

Halie arrainged to learn about Radiology before going to Med School.

She was enthusiastic and vivacious.

I was shocked to hear of her death, which occurred near my Gainesville house.

Hey Sis, I wish I could talk to you again and feel my words truly reach you I miss you more than anything I've every cherished. I've learned so much as time has past like how to not take the simplest things for granted, how to give myself a break, how to find a reason to smile, and how to love myself. It really saddens me how much people forgot these lessons I've learned, but then again many people didn't have to learn those lessons as quickly as I've had to. You are my hero and always will be. I wish fate didn't have to take you away from me, but everything does happen for a reason. Don't worry about me I'll still try to be your tough little brother even though you were the greatest chapter of my life. I will make you and mom proud of me one way or another. Lastly I want to thank you for the best memories of my life that I still cannot help myself to remember to this day. Halie your are the BEST BIG SISTER and I love you always. P.S GO GATORS

I can't believe I'm just now learning of Halie's transition to spirit. I'm deeply saddened to learn of her passing. She was a peer I looked up to academically, and I'll never forgot her voice. Just an amazing, unique girl. Your very missed Halie.

Dear Halie,
Happy Birthday Beautiful! You are so missed! You blessed so many lives with your smile, kind heart and humor. We think of you in heaven smiling and happy looking forward to seeing us when we get there! Happy 1st birthday in heaven! We love you!!

Happy 1st birthday in heaven Halie. I think of you often! The beauty of accepting the adoption of Christ is that death is not the end! Praise God. I know our hearts are still healing here on earth, but I am happy to know that I will see you again. Until then sweet girl!

Rest in peace darling xxxx

Last year Halie wrote me a letter desiring to learn about the Medical field of Diagnostic Radiology. She very politely introduced herself as a "pre-med" student @ Florida, where I had been both a Med Student, and Faculty member.

I had the opportunity to work with her one day last year to show her X-Rays and Imaging studies, and to discuss her dreams of becoming a physician. Halie was enthusiastic and a very good student. She demonstrated all of the skills and compassion that would have made her a fantastic doctor. I am so deeply saddened by this tragedy.

God Bless this beautiful angel.....

Beautiful,smart and kind to all. We will all love you forever.

One of the first things that comes to mind when I think about Halie is just how beautiful she was, inside and out. I remember us talking about how glad we were that we had become great friends towards the end of high school, even if it was kind of late. I loved that she could be so spirited and kind at the same time. I loved her contagious smile and laugh. I loved that she called me “Harry.” She was really endearing and vibrant. It had been a while since we last spoke, but I love and miss her so much.

Being the CHFM HR Manager, I had the pleasure of interviewing and hiring Halie. We worked together for two years. I’d like to share a story of a resent interaction that really demonstrated her kind, sweet, supportive nature. I had my wedding rings stolen, and Halie was the first person I told, she quickly offered support, and followed up with an extremely nice supportive email, that included a quote from Louise Giglio which read “God’s plans for your life far exceed the circumstances of your day.” Talking to Halie everyday was part of my route. I am missing her so much! My heart is broken for her family. I will continue to pray for all of them. See you in heaven Halie. <3

Halie was a student in my BSC 3911 class at UF and I would place her in the top 1% of students! She would have been an excellent physician. She is greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers to family and friends.
