Audrey Harbert Obituary

Audrey Lauren Harbert, 13, flew home to the Lord in Angels Arms on May 31, 2007. She was given to her parents on March 4, 1994 in Colorado Springs. She was a soccer player with PRIDE and a basketball player at the YMCA and Martinez Elementary. Audrey completed her 7th grade year at Jenkins Middle School where she earned membership into the Junior National Honor Society. She enjoyed life everyday on life's terms and brought joy to those to who knew her. She was an avid reader, and a beautiful story writer with a life time dream of being an Academy Award winning Director. Instead of directing movies, she unknowingly directed the lives of those who knew her as she survived 32 months of battling Rhabdomysarcoma. During that time she taught those around her, that in the every scene of our lives that we should LIVE, LAUGH, & LOVE. She is survived by her M.O.M. & D.A.D., Bernadette and Mark Harbert, sisters: Kaylani, and Christina; her gram crackers, Adolph and Diane Ramirez, Loren and Margaret Harbert; great-grandmother, Winnie Harbert; her aunts: Cindy Clark, and Michelle McMahon; her uncles: Joe Ramirez, Michael Harbert, and Tony Clark; her cousins: Nathan Clark, Nicholas Clark, Ryan Ramiriz and Sheena McMahon; her best friends: Christina Como, Brianna Waldorf, Aimee, Tina, and Chelly Knight, and thousands of friends and teammates. A visitation will be held Wednesday, June 6 from 2:00 -7:00 p.m. at Swan-Law Cascade Chapel with a private inurnment following. Celebration of Life will be held Thursday, June 7 at 1:00 p.m. at Rocky Mountain Calvary Chapel, 4825 N. Academy Blvd., Colorado Springs.

Dear Harbert Family,
As I heard the news of Audrey I was quite surprised. I work at the school in which she completed her 7th grade year and noticed her beautiful smile as she chatted in the hallway with her friends on the last day of school. Audrey had a sweet personality and she will be missed by all. Audrey was a blessing on earth and will be a blessing in Heaven. My thoughts are with your family and I pray for healing during this time.

What a sweet little fighter! I pray that God will comfort you right now as you grieve for your little Angel. There are no words to adequately say, except you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Bernadette, Mark and Family,

I am sharing tears with you right now.

My dad (Nardo) told me about the flight of your angel Audrey. I lost my own in December, and I am feeling your pain. I had my son for only 9 hours and can't imagine that compounded by 13 years. The thing that has helped me get through the toughest of days is to be grateful that I had the time I did with my child and by feeling honored that God lent him to me.

I wish you peace and love in this difficult time.

"If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it."

I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Bernadette, Mark and girls-

My sister Connie forwarded this to me earlier this week and my heart and prayers go out to you. The loss of a child is likely the hardest thing a parent faces. However, you will always have your daughter in your hearts and know that she was a perfect gift from God. Giving her back to Him is bittersweet.

Take care of eachother and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Bernadette, Mark and Family:
We are so sorry for the loss of such a sweet, fighting young lady. It truly broke our hearts that such a sweet person had to leave at such an early age. We had prayed with the help of our Lord Jesus Christ and doing good foods and supplements that she would have made it.

We know she gave it her best and her all. We are so glad that you guys were with her at her side.

May the good Lord bless you and guide you in all the directions and roads you may travel.

We are always here for you, just call.

God Bless you,

In Christian love,

Dear Kaylani and Sabrina,
I am so sorry to hear of Audrey. I know that death is a hard word to understand, the word itself encompasses so much of the rest of our lives. Please know that I am praying for you and think of you often.

I know the pain your parents are going through. There are no words to comfort a parent at this time, only the knowledge that there are people in the community who care.

Take care and God Bless you and enfold you in His Arms.

Audrey, while I never knew you, your story touch my heart in so many ways. I was one of the fire dispatchers on duty the night your family called for help...the night you went home to serve at the side of our Lord and Savior. You are a hero in my eyes, as well as an inspiration to so many. You displayed incredible courage, strength, and resolve during your short years here on earth. Your example urges me to work harder in my own life to being a better person. God speed, sweet little Audrey...God speed.
