Memorials: In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to North Texas Make-A-Wish Foundation, www.northtexaswish.org, or Give Kids the World Village, www.gktw.org, Orlando, Fla. Haley had fought a long, valiant battle with cancer. She was an inspiration to her family and friends and the hundreds she never met personally who supported her struggle with prayers and concerns over the past 14 months. Haley was born May 16, 2003, in Ennis. She attended school at Primrose in Mansfield. She loved to dance and sing and attended Stagedoor Dance Centre in Mansfield. Everyone she met became her friend. She especially liked to sing with Troy and Gabriella in High School Musical. She also was a big fan of Hannah Montana and SpongeBob SquarePants. During her January Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World, she got to wear her Princess Belle dress and meet all her favorite characters. There's a new angel in heaven today watching over us. She was a very special little girl. She will be deeply missed. Survivors: Parents, Richard and Kristin Hart of Grandview; paternal grandparents, Len and Brenda Hart of Midlothian; maternal grandparents, Jim and Alice Cox of Mansfield; many uncles, aunts, cousins and extended family members far and wide; and the many friends and acquaintances, nurses and doctors who were privileged that she touched their lives.
