“Hope is a powerful gift because it allows us to look beyond what is currently going on – maybe struggle or pain and see a future that is full of possibilities.
Joy. Wonder. Adventure
That is what makes our days so special and our lives so meaningful.
So, hold on to hope, it paves the way for brighter days.”

“How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard” …A.A. Milne
HALEY ELIZABETH KEATING, Age 22, Long Harbour, Newfoundland. Precious daughter to Kelly and Kenny Tulk: adored big sister to Macy Dale and forever Pop’s Girl.
Haley had the ability to make your heart grow. On her short journey, she touched the lives of so many people. She brought joy and laughter to everyone she knew. She was a living ray of sunshine.
She loved family gatherings, spending time with friends and new adventures. She was passionate about her career as an optician at Vogue and her co-workers meant the world to her. Our beautiful Blondie loved the outdoors, boat rides, shopping, travelling, a good road trip and endless cuddles with little sister, Macy.
Haley is now in the arms of her Nan and her love will live on in the hearts of her family and her besties.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will start at 12:00 PM on February 9, 2024 at St. Francis Xavier Church followed by burial at 1:30 PM in the church cemetery. We would like everyone to join us for a celebration of her life at the Long Harbour Community Center at 2:00 PM.
