A few months ago, she decided to branch out in her L OOKING FOR working career and started working at BJ’s Ice Cream Parlor. Haley’s family would like to thank the whole community for all its support. They would also like to thank all the volun- teers and community members who tried their hardest to help save our daughter and provid- ed support to our other chil- dren until we could reach them — Thank You! Although family and friends are sad to see her go so soon, we know she was loved by many. And though we don’t know why she died so soon, we know she’s at peace with Weston Bowman, Abby Boydston and Brandon Kimble. She may be gone, but she, too, will never be forgotten. A celebration of Haley’s life is being held at Mapleton High School at 1 p.m. today, Aug. 16. Haley’s family welcomes all friends, family and the com- munity to attend.
