Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

This memorial website was created in the loving memory of Janet Marie Hardy, who was born on November 02, 1989, in Baltimore, Maryland.  She was killed on October 26, 2003 by a drunk driver at the age of 13, just one week before her 14th birthday. 
There are no words to explain the depth of our loss.  Our lives have been changed forever.  In place of joy and laughter, there is sorrow and tears.  She filled our lives with an irreplaceable joy.  She will NEVER be forgotten.

The Janet Hardy Memorial Soccer Games are a tribute to Janet and a way for us to reach out to the community with education and awareness about drunk driving.  The 10th Annual G
ames were held on April 13, 2013, at the Cecil Arena, in Northeast, MD.  Click on "Her Legacy" to see the game schedule for 2013 and all the Scholarship winners.  For more information, contact Ms. Hardy at heydebhideb@hotmail.com or 443-466-4990.

Talking to an Angel, written 11-29-2005  

Talking to an Angel

Written 11-29-05 by Elizabeth Diehl a friend

That treacherous morning the 26th of October
This is one day we will never get over.
That day God took your life into His own hands.
For you my dear he had different plans.
That morning there was a fatal crash
Your life instantly taken from you in a flash.
The news of your death came by surprise.
The thing I knew tears filled my eyes.
There the tears were flowing down my cheek.
At that same moment I felt very weak.
An hour had passed tears still streaming down my face.
My best friend Nicole was there for me to embrace.
Rain poured down the day that you died.
That is the day that every Angel had cried.
Tears of God’s happiness fell from the sky.
They were also tears of my mourning as I wondered why.
Why did he take this wonderful soul?
I know why now…you’re a treasure to behold.
It’s been a while now since you’ve been gone.
But you’re not gone at all you’ve been with us all along.
No words to explain how many lives you’ve touched
Or how many people could love you so much.
There I was at this viewing of yours
Seeing about 200 people in line to get through the doors.
There you were lying in your new bed.
It broke my heart to see such a young girl lying there dead.
You had your soccer team jersey on in which you had played.
Your hair looked the same there in those pigtailed braids.
Everything looked normal but there was no smile.
That’s something I didn’t get over for a very long while.
There was always a smile on your beautiful face.
Now there’s a smile on ours because you’re in a safer place.
The priest at the funeral said that one hour in Heaven is forty years on Earth.
Along with your death there came a new birth.
A new birth of closer friendship of all that could see
Exactly how much we lost of Oktober 26 2003.
We all pray that Sammy will be okay.
But I know that you’re guiding her every step of the way.
Janet my dear Heaven awaits.
Open and enter those pearly white gates.
Go play soccer with the Angels above.
Spread your wings and fly with the rest
Knowing that you lived your life to the best.
This is not goodbye just see you again.
I’ll see you again sometime I just don’t know when.
I’ll try real hard to keep a good attitude.
So with all of this said I shall conclude.
Up in Heaven the Angels are waiting for you.
So now there’s only one thing left to do.
Grab Mrs. Gizzi’s hand and join the Heavenly party.
Rest in peace Beautiful Angel.
I love you forever Janet Marie Hardy.
