So many sweet memories. My beautiful Halie. Forever in our hearts ❤️

I have very few memories between the ages of 15 to 22 that don’t involve Halie. Between highschool, being college roommates, we were inseparable. I would not be the person I am today without her. Life took us in different directions but I will always cherish our memories. The qualities that stand out to me about Halie is overall how incredibly caring she was. She made everyone feel truly loved. I feel so much joy looking at old pictures and texts messages, but an overwhelming amount of sadness knowing how much duller the world has gotten without her bright shining spirit. You’ll forever been in my heart, Halie.

Though I only knew Halie for a short time, some people come into your life and are immediately family. Halie was that for me - literally, too, as we are cousins. It’s a true privilege to know that I share even a fraction of my genes with someone like Halie. As everyone else here has beautifully identified, Halie was sunshine. She was someone who was able to meet you where you were at, whether you wanted to celebrate a win or vent about something ridiculous. She made you feel like you were the only person in the room when she was talking to you, and she loved her people fiercely. She was also the BEST audience for a funny story. I already miss her so much, but I know that all of us are better people for having known Halie.

Our deepest condolences on the loss of beautiful Halie. Our hearts are broken. We feel so blessed to have met through our children, and got to spend as much time together as we did.
Thinking of everyone during this difficult time, and may your memories bring peace and comfort to all.

Words cannot describe how much Halie has meant to my family these past four months. Our success in my current foster placement is in large part due to her wisdom, commitment, and advocacy.
She adored my son. She saw in him what so many others refused to see before he came into my care.
And she was so protective of me as a foster mom. The child welfare system is brutal - on everyone involved. It is SO easy to feel isolated, crazy, overlooked, overwhelmed, and defeated. All things I have felt repeatedly these last few months. And every time I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, Halie was there; picking up the most human pieces of my heart and pushing me forward.
I will miss her strength, her integrity, and her crazy good gif game. Her gifs always brought levity and humor to often hard conversations and updates. HOW DID SHE DO IT?! I hope she’s resting. I pray she’s looking upon her legacy with all the pride in the world.

Halie and I met working at TopGolf. With a staff of about 400 people, I consider myself lucky that we worked the same shifts as often as we did. Her energy was contagious and she made the time go by faster. I was no longer working at TopGolf when she and Jay started dating, but when she launched their relationship on social media my heart swelled - it made so much sense and their love for one another was undeniable.
I hadn’t seen Halie since we stopped working together, but I kept up with her through social media and relished in her happiness, as she was truly so deserving of it all.
Her sunny disposition illuminated the spaces she entered and I am so saddened to learn of her passing. The world is a dimmer place without her. Sending so much love to Aria, Jay, Halie’s family and friends during this devastating time.

I had the privilege of getting seated next to Halie and her husband at a friend’s wedding this past week. She introduced herself to me immediately and had such a vibrant and lively personality. We bonded over both having diabetic cats and shared pictures of our fur babies with each other. I told her how it was my 1st time leaving my 3 month old son in order to attend the wedding and asked her if it gets easier as they get older. She told me that it makes it easier knowing how much her daughter, Aria, absolutely LOVES going to her grandma’s house and is truly so spoiled and taken care of there. She then joked that Aria always had to relearn the word “no” when she’d pick her up! Halie and her husband were some of the first people out on the dance floor and I admired her confidence so much. She radiated so much joy & positivity (especially when talking about her daughter) and I was truly devastated to learn about her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her entire family.

My heart breaks to hear of Halie’s passing. She was truly such a ray of light in this world. I worked with her and Jay at TopGolf. We got hired at the same time. I remember the day she came over to me and how cute she thought Jay was and I remember how giggly she was when she started talking to him.
Halie was always one of my favorite people to see at work, almost comforting in the bustle of work. She was the sweetest soul and I was always inspired by her kindness and the life she built and such a beautiful family. My heart breaks for her entire family. Sending you all so much love and light during this time.
