i remember the day my dad told me about Haley and the accident. even though i didnt know who she was at the time i felt soo bad. the whole thought of it made me upset.later on in the year,i met her sister scarlet and learned so much about her. i never saw her smile but i herd it could brighten up a room and get everyone's attention! she was so sucsessful too .and not to metion very pretty. i wish i got to meet Haley. she sounded like an amazing person. maybe someday we'll meet in Heaven

Wow, oh my god. I can't believe this happened. I found this page in someone's aim profile, and I was shocked. I knew Haley when she was at Flickinger, and my sister was friends with Scarlet, so I saw her every so often also. I was living in Illinois at the time of the accident, so I just found out about this. I can't believe she's gone... I'll never forget (I wouldn't have anyways), back at Flickinger, we were in Peer Mediation class together. We had to armwrestle (for a different reason, but it was still fun). I also saw her at times, like on the announcements and all her academic achievements. Wow... I can't believe this happened... She was like the best... Haley, Scarlet, and the whole Urbin family, my prayers will ALWAYS be with you... Wow this is crazy, I can't think of anything else to write here right now...

I guess im writing this more towards haley. I miss you so much haley, you've inspired everyone around you and were always happy. You were always loved by everyone, and still are. You ARE everything anyone would ever want to be, and i look up to you like a big sister and student council was so much fun with you ! Everytime i was around you i just felt so happy and welcome,and i used to only be aorund you in student council or passing by you and saying hi in the hallway but now i can feel that way no matter where i am because you're always with me. And i miss you and pray everynite for you and you're family. i look forward to seeing you again in heaven haley Love and miss you

I miss Haley very much. She was an angel. She had an impact on so many people and the world is less bright since she left us. My prayers go out to her family.

i nvr really knew haley but i was really good friends with scarlet. when i heard the news at first i didnt believe it becuz we nvr xpect this kinda thing to happen ;after a while it kinda sunk in and i paid my respects to scar, i cried with her, i helped her. i just want the entire family to kno how much i care for them and that i really feel bad for them. evryone shouldnt be too sad about this significant loos, becuz we all kno that haley is in a better place and that we all care for her. we kno deep down that she is still really here with us in mind and soul. i love u urbin family.

I knew Haley since I was just a little kindergardener. I always looked up to her. She was like my romodel...she's the only reason I got so involved in basketball. When she passed away all I could do was cry. I couldn't understand how the world could just move on after something like that happened. Even my parents were acting like nothing happened. I missed her so much. I had gone to a Beach Boys concert at Freedom Hill and they dedicated a song to her and I cried in front of everyone at the concert. I went through old yearbooks and cried my heart out. Sometimes it's like I still can't believe she's gone. My heart goes out to her family and close friends because their pain must have been so much worse. I miss her just as you all do. I can only look forward to seeing her in heaven.

I never really knew haley that well but i remeber seeing her around school and at soccer and she was always smiling. I wish i had the honor to become better friends with haley like so many other people that i know have. I have heard so many great stories about haley and about how she was always there for everyone and would always cheer up everyone when they were feeling down. I still remeber the night that the accident happened. i was having my birthday party and me and a couple of my friends were in my hot tub and then we heard sirens that were really loud and we went inside and just thought that it was just a little accident.Later on in the night my aunt came over and said that 21 mile was all closed off so she had to take the other way to are house so i knew something serouis had happened i just didnt know what it was...then later that night we went to sleep and when we woke up i went online and i was reading everyones info and they all said R.I.P Haley Urbin..at first i thought it was just some sick joke that people were spreading around ..i couldent belive it. Then i found out it was true, i dont even know how to descibe the feelings that were going threw me..then when i went to the funeral we all had a chance to go up to the casket and touch the casket to say are good byes. I cant even put into words the way i felt that something like that could hapen to someone so young and full of life..I will never forget that day when i first found out about haley, and i barely knew her so i can only imagine how bad her family feels....To the urbin family..you will always be in my prayers.

To Haley-I wish i had a better chance to be better friends with you. i have heard so many great stories about you and all your family and friends miss you and love you very much. Rest in peace are little angel.You will Never be forgotton.

<3 always,
Becca

I new haley pretty well scarlet is one of my best friends and I was always at her house. I remember haley's smile everytime she would answer the door and I remember her great personality. She would always have something good to say to me and she always made me feel welcome. Everytime I would call,haley would answer the phone and start up a conversation with me. She was always smiling or making another person smile. It was almost like that was her job in life to make people happy. When I heard what happened..I didnt belive it.. I just remember my neighbor telling me and me being speechless.. I didnt want to belive it. I really feel bad that I was gone and couldnt make the funeral and I hope the urbins understand that I really wanted to be there for them. even though I did not know haley as much as other people I still knew her very well. she made a HUGE impaact on everyones life she brought a lot of ppl closer with out even being here she tought me to alwyas be nice to people because anything can happen at anytime.she also tought me to always be happy and smile because more people will notice you and relize that you are a great person like haley just that smile can make a difference in someones day.
I love and miss you so much Haley

Well, i've been sitting here at my computer for a few hours now.... reading and reviewing everything on this site. I didnt know haley as well as most of the others but when i heard of the accident, i thought about it. I knew Haley more than i thought i had. I first met Haley in Florida where my dance studio travled for the National Dance Competition. She attended this with one of her best freinds Alana. I am also friends with Sean Urbin, a close relative.

It took me a while to find words to put in here. Although I was not good firends with Haley, she amazes me with her ability to touch peoples live. When I attended the memorial service for Haley I quietly walked in clasping my friend Mia's hand tightly. My heart sank as I looked around. The memorial service was beautiful. But the more I looked, the more I realized, all of these people knew Haley. Haley was there for everyone at one point in their life,to have a conversation with, just to say hi, shake a hand, Or even just too smile. Haleys ability to lighten up everyones day had brought all of us together. There were so many people there. So many that there were people standing. Her family, People that knew her, and even people that didnt know her, were there. I will never forget that day in my life.

Haley Victoria April Urbin you truly amaze me. They way you brought a huge part of our community together is so unexplainable. Haley even though we cannot see you, you will alwyas be with us where ever we go.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Urbin family. All of you have been so strong and so filled with love and devotion to not only yourselves but to the rest of the community as well. You each have encouraged thousands of people to live their life to the fullest. You are all in my prayers...
Sincerely,
Kirsten Parrott

Some poems I thought might interest you....
................
Daddy, please don't look so sad, Mama please don't cry~"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies."Please, try not to question God, Don't think he is unkindDon't think He sent me to you, and then He changed his mind.You see, I am aspecial child,and I'm needed up aboveI'm the special gift you gave Him,the product of your love.I'll always be there with you and watch the sky at night, Findthe brightest star that's gleaming,That's my halo's brilliant light.You'll see mein the morning frost,that mists your window pane.That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.When you feel a little breeze, from a gentle wind that blows That's me, I'll be there, planting a kiss on your nose.When you see a child playing, and your heart feels a little tug,That's me, I'll be there,giving your heart a hug.So Daddy, please don't look so sad,Mama don't your cry.I'm in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.

When I am gone, release me, let me go.I have so many things to see and do.you mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,be happy that we had so many years.I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown,but now its time i travled on alone.So grieve a while for me if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust.It's only for a while that we must part,so bless the memories within y our hearts.I won't be far away, for life goes on.So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can not see or touch me,I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all of my love around you soft and clear. And then, When you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say "Welcome Home"

Everyone misses you Haley but each and everyone of us know that you are still here..........

i really didn't know haley at all, thouqh she did go to my school, i knew she was very nice, smart, and atheletic...she seemed like sucha a nice girl, in which she was..it's hard to believe that she is qone i mean wow i can't believe it..but she was sucha a good person, and everytime i think about it, now i know why God wanted her up there, she is someone anybody could ask for..and even thouqh i didin't knoe her that well, her, and also her family will be in my thouqht's and prayer's...

R.i.p haley we miss you

-me

I barely knew Haley but I did know that she made everyone smile n laugh. I ran into her once in the hallway and I would never think that would be my last time seening her. I would do anything to bring Haley back I miss her alot. But I know that she's watching us right now and she's the most Beautiful Angel up there. Mr. n Mrs.Urbin, Klair and Scarlet I'll always pray for you guys I can't imagine how much pain your going threw. Love~Amanda P.

Haley was extremely close w/ so many she had a heart that noone can surprass. She had a vibe around her that made people drawn to her & even thought i wasnt close w/ her i have memories seeing her, saying hi, hugs goodbye at parties, seventh grade times, she was always looking out for other people i can tell you that much. We were on the same soccer team for about two weeks but automatically she was the first one to acceppt the new comers from below. She was a person every wanted to be around. I still cant believe shes gone. Shes touched so many hearts. I have so much respect for the Urbin family and how great theyve been about it. They seem like they are terrific people. My prayers go out to them.
love always,
ashley

i never knew haley, i heard her about the accident last august on the news though, n i was deeply saddened, any loss of life is tragic. but when i went to utica a couple weeks later, i saw all the saddened faces n saw jus how many people's lives she touched. I've heard all the stories from her closest friends and i learned just how much she was loved by everyone around her.and even someone like me felt the loss, I regret never having the oppurtunity to meet a great person. I send my prayers and thoughts to the urbin family. May she rest in peace

I sadly never had the honer of meeting this wonderful girl I know here so much. My sister in law was working at the hospital that night and I've heard so many horrible stories about how much pain Haley was in. I too lost a friend when I was 12. I have never been the same. But to her family, and Ally and Kristy and Tim and Steve and anyone else I do know that knew her my prayers are with you. In time you will heal, but the wound will still be there..just under the flesh. She loves all of you. God she was beautiful and now she's truly an angel. Since I too have lost I feel so sorry for all of you. After my sister in law saw the paper I had and I told her my friends knew her, she told me the horrible story and Haley's pain. Rest In Peace Haley you will be missed even by those like me who didnt even know you

THINGS HAPPEN IN THIS WORLD - YOU TRY TO SIT BACK AND MAKE SENSE OF THEM - THIS SITUATION IS NO DIFFERENT - AS A PERSON THAT STRONGLY BELIEVES IN GOD I HAVE HAD A VERY HARD TIME WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION - WHEN IT FIRST HAPPEND I SAT BACK - SAW THE LOVE FOR THIS YOUNG LADY - I WAS TRULY INSPIRED AND AMAZED BY WHAT I SAW - UNDENIABLE LOVE AND UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIP - EVEN THOSE WHO NEVER MET HALEY (LIKE ME) HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY HER AND HER BEAUTIFUL GROUP OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY - THEN AS THIS PASSED THIS YEAR I DIDN'T THINK THAT IT WOULD HIT ME THE WAY THAT IT DID - I STARTED TO QUESTION THINGS - WHY? - FOR A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE THE MEMORIAL SERVICE I WAS JUST IN A REAL WEIRD MOOD - ONE THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN - I STARTED MAYBE DOUBTING MY BELIEFS WONDERING THAT IF GOD WAS SO GREAT THEN WHY THIS? - I HAD SUCH A HEAVY HEART - THEN I WENT TO THE MEMORIAL SERVICE AND AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT WAS TO ME I STILL HAD SOME OF THOSE FEELINGS - THEN ON WEDNESDAY WITH THOSE FEELINGS STILL INSIDE I FINALLY OPENED UP TO SOMEBODY AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT IT - IT REALLY FELT GOOD TO JUST GET IT ALL OUT - SOMETIMES THE BEST THING IS TO JUST TALK (AND CRY) UNTIL YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE - THOUGH RIGHT AFTER THAT CONVERSATION I FELT GOOD, I DIDN'T EXPECT WHAT HAPPEND NEXT - I WENT TO THE PHARMACY AND AS I WALKED OUT THIS STRANGE PERSON CAME FROM AROUND A CORNER OF THE STORE AND WALKED UP TO ME - (REMEMBER, MY FAITH IN GOD IS VERY STRONG - BUT I HAD SOME QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME)THEY SPOKE - " DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE LORD IS OUR SAVIOR AND THAT WE LIVE FOR HIM?" I IMMEDIATELY ANSWERED "YES! WITHOUT A DOUBT." THEN THEY LOOKED INTO MY EYES - WAITED A SECOND AND SAID " I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD WILL NEVER GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE - HE WILL ALWAYS BE BY YOUR SIDE, HE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU." I FROZE - WENT INTO A ZONE FOR A MOMENT -THEN THIS PERSON JUST KIND OF DISAPPEARED FROM WHEREVER THEY HAD COME FROM. I WENT TO MY CAR AND SAT THERE FOR A MOMENT WITH TEARS ON MY FACE AND GRABBED MY BIBLE AND SAID "THANK YOU" OUT LOUD - YOU SEE, SHE HASN'T LEFT US, BUT ONLY IN THE PHYSICAL SENSE - SHE IS STILL IMPACTING THOSE WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW HER - SHE CONTINUES TO HELP SO MANY - WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE HER - BUT SHE IS WORKING FOR GOD, LIKE SHE ALWAYS HAS, AND I CAN SEE HER IN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.

I MAY HAVE HAD A MOMENT OF WEAKNESS - BUT HALEY HELPED - HELPED ME THROUGH A TIME - SHE MADE ME DOUBT - MADE ME RAISE QUESTIONS - THEN GOD REASSURED ME - WITH THE HELP OF HALEY, GOD TAUGHT ME ANOTHER LESSON - MADE MY BELIEF THAT MUCH STRONGER -

ISAIAH 41:13
FOR I AM THE LORD, YOUR GOD, WHO TAKES HOLD OF YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SAYS TO YOU, "DO NOT FEAR, I WILL HELP YOU!

GOD BLESS THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF HALEY URBIN - YOU WILL ALL CONTINUE TO BE IN MY PRAYERS -

I've been trying for the past week to somehow decribe how I feel to sign this guestbook. But the truth is, there is no possible way to put into words the affect Haley and her death has had on my life. She was the most incredible person I have ever met. Beautiful, smart, funny. Flawless. Perfect. No, perfect is an understatement. There will never be anyone like Haley. She brought everyone together like nobody ever could. I want so bad to see the Urbin's and tell them that I care. But I'm scared. Because I know how horrible I feel, so I can only imagine the pain they still feel.

Urbin family, you're always in my prayers. You have wonderful daughters and nobody could ever live up to how amazing those 3 are.

Haley, I'm writing this more to you. Thank you for teaching me everything you did when I was little. You were the person I always looked up to in elementry. Everytime you came over to babysit me, I'd always want to try on your clothes to be just like you. I still look up to you and will never forget the times I spent with you. I cry because your gone but smile because I had the chance to be close with you. I'm sorry we slipped away once junior high came but even though you didn't know, you've made such an impact on everyones life! I can't wait to see you again.


--One year and your smile hasn't left my eyes, your laugh is still in my head, and you are always in my heart.--

I love you Haley!

--And to the Urbin family thank you for everything you've done for me and my family, your in my prayers.--

I've sort of stood in the shadows, sat back and watched as all this went on. I knew Haley a bit, but not as much as a lot of you. I would just like to give my sympathy to her family, friends, and everyone who had the chance to come across this amazing girl in their life. I would like to let you all know, that in only a year you have all grown so much, and it brings a smile to my face just watching you all. I'm never that great with words of wisdom, but the power of music sometimes helps me through difficult times, and just listening to Mr. Urbin so bravely sing about his daughter is amazing to me. I was burning a cd, after the service monday night, and as I was searching for songs I came across one that just made me stop. I listened to it three or four times, and I couldn't help but laugh. Just watching the impact the situation had on my brother over the last year, I could not think of a more moving and perfect song to describe how she is feeling. I hope you all can relate to it, and my deepest apologies go out to everyone. God Bless to All, and remember smile.

Smile
(Chris Lindsey/Keith Follese)

I still remember the night we met
You said you loved my smile
But your love for me was like a summer breeze
Oh, it lasted for a while
I could hold on a little tighter I know
But when you love someone you gotta let 'em go so

I'm gonna smile, cause I want to make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

Kiss me once for the good times, baby
Kiss me twice for goodbye
You can't help how you don't feel
And it doesn't matter why
Give me a chance to bow out gracefully
'Cause that's how I want you to remember me

I'm gonna smile, cause I want to make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

I'm gonna smile so you can find the courage
Laugh, so you won't see me hurtin'
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

i never new haley or met her but alot of my friends have, from what i hear her smile coulde lite up a whole room and she wus a sweat heart and cared so much about things!! my prayers go out to all her family and friends!
