Henley Hazel Romine

Henley Hazel Romine Henley Hazel Romine peacefully and gracefully received God's angel wings on Friday, July 19, 2013 in her home. She had courageously faced numerous obstacles in her struggle to overcome neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. She was born on January 15, 2009, the daughter of Dr. Grant and Lynsey (Heitholt) Romine of Carmel, IN. Henley captured the hearts of thousands with her BEEautiful smile and contagious love of life as well as through her parent's three-year journal on Caringbridge, www.bravebee.org and Facebook. She always had a smile for everyone - amazing all with her resiliency. She especially enjoyed her Make-a-Wish trip to Disney World and numerous visits to the beach. D.L. Moody's famous quote characterizes Henley perfectly. He said, "Someday you will read in the paper that Moody is dead. Don't you believe it. Because in that moment, I will be more alive than I have ever been." Her family wants to thank the many wonderful doctors and nurses at Riley Children's Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. Appreciation is also extended to all of the special people that supported them on Henley's journey. Cherishing her memory, along with her loving parents, is Henley's brother and best friend, Cooper Romine.
