Larson, Hadley John

I will always remember Hadley and his shy little smile from the time he was little. I expected him to cry the day that Lindsey had to have stitches and he and I waited in the waiting room, but he was a stoic little soldier. My heart breaks for you all, please know I love you guys and I am here for you. Rest in peace Hadley.

Don and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your son's passing. Please know that all of you are in my prayers.

I hope you will find comfort in your faith. I can picture all of us at St. James Episcopal as children and teens. Little did we realize how we were being prepared for times like these.

God bless you,
Connie Hirz Herrick

Marvin & Ann Robinson - 3/20/2011

Dear Don, Toni, Lindsey, Family and Friends,

We have so many fond memories of Hadley; from seeing him as a toddler to seeing him as a grown man. We remember him being so excited catching some of his first fish; which Don actually caught for him to let him reel in. We remember that smile, that sweetness. Cody and I were just talking about playing hide and go seek with Hadley at our house. The kids hid and as I went to find them, Hadley was 'hiding' under an end table with only his head out of view...the rest of his body lying out in the room. We all laughed; especially Hadley. We remember him when he was only 4 being able to throw a ball in the area and hit it squarely with a bat. Such great eye and hand coordination. So many wonderful memories.

Someone shared this with me once. It helped me then and I hope it might help you, too:

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We might not understand why you left this earth so soon or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye. But, little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but also that you lived and that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget."

We love you all and please believe us that we are there with you even if you can't see us.

Katie & Don - 3/20/2011

Dear Don, Toni and Lindsey,

We were so shocked to hear the news about Hadley. Please know that we are so sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mom, Dad and I were just talking about all of you the other day. Mom already shared the hide and seek story, but I also remember the time that Hadley pushed his head through the railing in our banister and got it stuck. He was trying to look down below, and wasn't able to reach over the railing so he just decided to go between the bars. Hadley was always such a happy kid and was a pleasure to be around. He was always funny, athletic, adventurous and loving. He will be greatly missed.

I know that I have not been around Hadley since he was little, but I will always remember him as a smiling happy kid. I am truly a better person today having known Hadley and having his happy thoughts as part of my memories.

Our loving thoughts and prayers,
Cody and Angie Vigil

I only got to meet him for a moment when he passed through Jackson One night. He was a Very Polite and a Shy Young man.He was in Search of His Biological Mother. I will Never Forget His Boyish voice and Red Embarrassed Face as he Looked at Me and Said " Is My Mom Here?". I could tell he was doing some SOUL searching and was reaching out to ALL that would Pay him mind. He will be Missed and Im sure has Brought Joy to you all these Wonderful years. I wished I would of gotten to spend more time with this GIFT OF GOD. My Prayers are with you all and His Children.
