We are so blessed to know that Haven’s life has touched so many people, and we are looking forward to Sunday’s events as a tribute and celebration of her precious yet impactful life. Her family would be greatly honored to have the presence of anyone who has been following Haven through her adventures. There were many people who never got the opportunity to meet Haven personally, and it would mean so much to us to have you take part in the culmination of her life no matter how well or little you feel you know us. We sincerely invite each and every one of you and your families to join us for Sunday’s events. Even though most only knew Haven from a distance, you are all very close to our hearts. It will be so special to have you there as we lay Haven’s body to rest and then to join in fellowship to remember her together and celebrate her promotion to glory.Â
As an additional tribute to Haven, we are collecting statements and testimonies of how different individuals have been touched by Haven and her journey. For those attending the services, there will be an open opportunity to briefly share your thoughts about Haven’s life if you so desire. For those who are unable to attend or would rather not speak, we would love to receive emails or comments to collect as a memento that would be displayed and shared at the Memorial Service and Reception. Â
As our needs have been continually met by the generosity of many friends and family, we will be accepting memorial gifts to the Haven’s Heart Fund. Reflecting back on our days with Haven, we would not trade anything for the opportunity and privilege we had to both be by her bedside each day of her life for nearly six months. Your selfless gifts helped to make that possible, and the donations made to this fund are still being utilized to meet our family’s needs even today. We would like to, in turn, eventually use any abundance to the Haven’s Heart Fund to aid in meeting the needs of other families who are dedicated to staying by their children’s side as they battle through serious illness at Riley Hospital for Children. So, in honor of Haven Leigh, memorials can be made to the Haven’s Heart Fund through this website, by mail, or at the Memorial Reception.Â
We anticipate Sunday will be a joyful and tearful occasion as we gather to honor our precious daughter and give glory to God for the time we had with her and the amazing impact she had on all of us. Your most beautiful comments and emails have already brought us much joy and solace these past few days. She has been very close to many of your hearts as well as ours, and we hope that Sunday’s events will bring us all together to share in God’s comfort and peace through this bittersweet time.  Â
Looking forward to seeing you all soon,
Jeremey & AlisonÂ

Thank you for allowing us to be involved in the life of you precious baby girl what a blessing it has been to be able to pray for her and see God work. Thanks for you humble nature and the way you let God use you so readily. You both are a living tribute to great parenting. Haven was blessed to have you as her earthly parents. And God bless both of your parents as well. Have a blessed time on Sunday. We will lift you up in praise and worship together as we praise her homegoing. Love Cora and the WWJD Bible study Calvary Community Church Schaumburg Illinois.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
I know that you are in sorrow now, but cheer up. God had his own special plan for Haven. Eventhough we don’t understand why,He knows best.
Haven has been such a blessing to me. She taught me to be a fighter and to keep going no matter what the chalenge is. May God be with you.
Blessings & All my love,

Jeremey & Alison, We can’t thank you two enough for sharing with us and so many others The Life and Amazing Adventures of Little Haven Leigh. She was so precious and the way she blessed us. She had taught us to lean more and more on God, not on just through tough times but all the time he is near.Her website was a source of strength for you guys and it was just as much a strength to u in a lot of ways as well, in numerous ways she has touched us all, and God sure knew what he was doing when he joined your two hearts, and made you the parents of that Little Angel. We also look forward to seeing Little Haven Leigh again face to face. Looking forward to a great day of celebration. We Love You Guys So Much.
