Hayden Leigh Washington Parker was granted her angel wings on October 7, 2017. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Hayden had touched in some small way throughout her short, yet very memorable life.

Hayden's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her gentle smile could melt the hearts of those around her and though she never spoke a word, her voice and thoughts could always be heard.

She stole the hearts of many. She was feisty, but she was silly. She was a fighter. She endured but she was always smiling. She came to us so that we could be healed.

Hayden leaves precious memories to her parents, Verena Washington and Treven Parker; grandparents, Arnette Washington and Jacquelyn & William Watson; aunts, Sheka Bridges, Teneisha; cousin, Nyasia Bridges; and a host of other relatives and friends.
