Hayden's Memorial Page

Crawling in my skin, these wounds, they will not heal.

About Me

This page is dedicated to my sister's memory. She has a MEM page, but I wanted to do something more personal. Deciding to do this tribute was not easy. Lately, I have been able to talk about Hayden alot. I know sometimes it makes people feel awkward, but I just never want to forget her and it feels good to share my memories of her. I have posted and unposted the bulletin sharing her story and this site address a million times. But I've decided it's time to share Hayden's story before people forget about her. Making this site and writing out my feelings has actually been therapeutic. The blog "Sisters" was the hardest to write. I really haven't shared those feelings with anyone and now I'm making them so public. I just hope that people will learn from Hayden and never forget her. Don't take life for granted!!!
I wish everyday that Hayden had not gotten in that car with a drunk driver. Being young does not make us invincible. The blogs go into more details about her death and life.
Here are the links to the photos of Hayden:

All the photos I have of her are on these sites. Now you can all have access to these. If you want to copy the photos on to your computer, just click on the images to make them larger. Then right click on the image and click on "save photo as."
OBITUARY: Hayden Ashley Vann, beautiful, loving young girl of 19 years, passed away Friday June 6, 2003 as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident near her home in Marietta. She will be greatly missed by her many friends at Walton High School (Marietta), and at her church, Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. A generous and gracious spirit she has left the world a poorer place by her absence. www.Mem.com

Lost...

The day you died was the worst day of my life. It was the final tragedy I could bare.  I have become unemotional.  I want so badly to feel alive, but I find it impossible. Sometimes I feel l...
