Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.
Rabindranath Tagore This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Harley Michele Zuniga who was born in Oklahoma on July 12, 2000 and passed away on April 30, 2009 at the age of 8. Her indelible spirit will live on in us forever.
Singing and causing mayhem were some of Harley's favorite things to do. Kicking and fighting followed by hugs and kisses, a better spirit has never nor will ever exist on this earth again. Harley Michele never knew a stranger and would welcome all with hug and kisses. She was known by many names but rather than say goodbye we say see you later

Whatever name you may have known her by, be sure you will never forget her. Hugs and kisses, Shelby, and let the good Lord win one once in a while.
Charitable donations in Harley's memory may be made to the Hooker Ambulance Service or the Ronald McDonald House of Oklahoma City. Donations may also may be made to the Harley Michele Memorial Fund. This fund is dedicated to helping Harley's memory live on by helping area families of children with medical needs. We know some times that people just might need gas money or money for meals while being miles from home living with their child at the hospital or just traveling to see the doctor. We hope that we can provide for some of those things that usually don't get considered as being part of taking care of those children. The fund is set up at the First National Bank of Hooker, OK.

Been planting seeds and getting the flower beds ready for the plants. Just remember ing how you always helped me. All those plants you would pick out and all the dirt you would throw. I usually had to buy more to fill in but I wouldn't change those memories for anything. I truly miss you by my side helping me get things done!

Dear Harley Chele,
It's hard to believe that it will be 5 years tomorrow that you left us. It doesn't seem that long ago and yet it still seems so far away as well. Time has eased the pain, or rather taught me how to live with it most days. There are still sounds, smells, little memories that still give me a hard catch in my throat. But nowadays the memories comfort me. I smile most times when those little things remind me of you. I catch myself singing your songs and saying your phrases with baby Cooper. I feel lucky to be able to share you with her. It's not always easy but it is always good. I miss your shining face and that sweet smile and as always that infectious laugh. I'm so glad that we got to share so many good times together even if it was just a few short years. I carry you around with me always in my heart. You are always there and I thank God for you every day :) I love you and miss you always.
Love,
Daddy

There were days that my knees hurt so bad, it was so hard to walk and I wanted to give up, but your strength and smile every day pushed me to go that extra step. You never gave up no matter what came your way. you were the bravest, strongest, most beautiful person I have know in my life. I wonder still today what I did to deserve such a beautiful angel in my life. now my angel is with Jesus, smiling down at me. As my tears roll down my face, I see you smiling at me and telling me not to cry. You never did like it when I cried. you would hug me and tell me not to cry, if I didn't listen you would yell "Grandma" and get my attention and make me look at you and there would be the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. you were my rock and I miss you so much. You always watched over me when you stayed with me. You would come looking for me throughout the house to see if I was ok. I still remember when you showed up at my door early one morning all by yourself cause it was time for me to get up. You banging on the door and yelling "Grandma open the door". I called your dad and asked him if he knew where you were, and he had no idea. I told him that you were at my house, we could not believe how you could have done that. But we should have known that you would be able to find your way to my house. You are so amazing. I love you.

Dear Harley Chele,
We had such a great time last Saturday. It was almost three years to the day that we lost you. We were able to raise almost $1,200 in your memory. It seemed so easy just to do for others like we used to do for you naturally. I enjoyed telling people that the reason we are doing this is to spread that special something you had with others. You always seemed to bring out the best in people and such a glow about you and now I hope that we can keep showing people that even though you are no longer with us. I hope that we can keep doing great things for you and you just keep smiling that wonderful smile of yours and keep asking the good Lord "Hey, where's my hug?!"
Love as always,
Daddy
