My heart is very heavy. my son Ryder knew her since Eisenhower.

Likewise, her close family member also paid heartfelt tribute, saying:

Our family has lost a beautiful and loving young lady and we are all still in shock. Haley was an absolute angel and I can’t believe she’s gone. We would love all the support possible in this tough time, but if anything sending your love and prayers is much appreciated.
