"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a
future." - Jeremiah 29:11

Bailee Ryan Hardel, age 10, passed away on Saturday, May 13, 2006. He was born Feb. 21, 1996, in Cottonwood, Ariz., a son of Mark Allen and DiAnna Rose Hardel.

He was a member of the Crossroads Christian Fellowship. He loved riding horses, sports, video games and loved Jesus.

Bailee was given to us by Jesus - an incredible, precious gift, full of joy and laughter. He brought such an amazing amount of smiles and, as all kids do, a source of frustration too. He is daddy's boy and best buddy and mommy's Badee Bear and we cherish him always. We are immensely broken hearted that he left us.

He loved Jesus so much 'and we know that his is fitting on the lap of Jesus right now.

All who knew Bailee loved him. He is just an incredible kid, extremely smart and talented, he loved helping his older sister with her homework and found great joy gloating that he was smarter. He was his younger brother's playmate and protector. He was very generous and loved to give gifts.

The greatest gift in our lives are our children and we are wrought with tears knowing we have to wait to see him again.

"Let not your heart be toubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know." - John 14:1-4

Bailee is survived by his parents, Mark and Dianna Hardel; his sister, Hannah and his brother, Micah all of West Haven, Utah; grandmother Barbara Hardel of Arizona. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins.
