BENJAMIN “Benny” NATHANIEL HAWLEY
April 27, 2020 – December 15, 2020
Two Little Hands, Two Little Feet
A tiny little boy, so soft and so sweet
He came to earth in the usual way
But life was short, God called him away
Two little feet, too little time
Two little hands that I held in mine
Never to run and never to play
or to be curious in a little boy way
Two little hands, two little feet
ever so loved and ever so sweet
Beyond the clouds, beyond the sun
Those hands and feet forever in heaven will run
Our precious little angel, Benjamin “Benny” Nathaniel Hawley, beloved infant son of Heidi & Brandon Hawley, of Independence, MO went to be with our Lord on Tuesday, December 15, 2020. Benny laughed and smiled and brought so much joy throughout his 7 months and 18 days, bringing so much happiness to everyone he touched. Benny loved music and loved to sing loud, especially in church! So much character in such a sweet little package. Despite his short time here on earth, he touched so many lives with his beautiful spirit and was deeply loved by so many.
