Heather's legacy through her music lives on. I have a granddaughter who is 2 yrs old and as a small 3 month old infant I would play Heather's CD and sing to her. By the time the first two songs were completed my graddaughter would be asleep. And every time she stayed overnight, we would play the CD and when she would come and visit she would request "Na Na" Mamal. In November of 2013, my granddaughter was visiting and she was playing with her dolls and began rocking her doll and singing "Na Na" This is the first song on the CD. Still today my granddaughter needs to hear the Cd to go to sleep when she is here, it has become a grandma and granddaughter tradition. I hope Heather's family reads this and know how much Heather is still touching the lives of so many. She is truely a blessing.

Your HeatherGlow continues to permeate those who knew you best, and every time I see a Race for a Cure, I feel you are there. Great strides are being made in curing breast cancer, Heather, and I know you are in there swinging for us down here. God bless you and your Beautiful Family

Even four years later, this is so heartbreaking. My sympathies to Heather's family and friends. God says that He will be a consolation in times of distress - Psalm 72:12.

Three years, Heather, it is hard to believe. As part of your viewing family I am acutely aware you are not there when the news is on. You are missed Down Here. Your HeatherGlow lives on in your Living Legacy of Love and Courage. Until we meet again!!!

It just doesn't feel like two years have come and gone but yet there are so many who still think of you as if you were still here today. I am just a person who watched the news but my heart went out to you and your family. I also lost my mother who was my best friend to Cancer and yet if feels like yesterday. When I turn on the T.V. in the mornings. I think of you dear Heather and I always will. You have that gift of touching so many. you truly will be in our hearts for ever

I can still recall when Heather was initially diagnosed with breast cancer. The scenes of her holding hands with her husband while undergoing treatment in the hospital were especially touching. My deepest sympathies go out to him and their daughters, as well as the other members of her family.

HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING WELL I NOW IT'S HARD BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER HEATHER IS WATCHING OVER EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU EVERYDAY SHE LOVES YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

To the family:
I have watched Heather every morning, for many years. She was a hoot and a bright spot to an otherwise dismal start of day. She gave me the conviction to get moving in the morning. If she could be so cheerful, what excuse have I not to be.
I will truly miss her and her winning ways. She is now being used in Heaven to bless the Angels as she has blessed us here on earth.
Take part in knowing this and keep knowing what a treasure you shared with the world. We all thank you so much for your generosity. For you could have pressured her to keep with you and not over exert herself. But, instead you encouraged and supported her desire to live and share.
Have a blessed life and know how very much she was and is loved!

"A strong circle ne'er breaks,
wings of love are ne'er gone,
eternity ne'er forsakes.
Children wrapped in wings,
forever blessed with song,
an angel bird that sings,
her spirit will live on."...
Whenever it rains in the early morning,
I will always remember Heather saying,
"It'll be easy for the birds to
get their breakfast this morning,
all the worms will be out of their holes."

Wishing you peace during this tragic time. I was shocked to learn of her death. I have thought about her daily...and the fight in her spirit. Her eyes and smile will continue to shine, as she watches over those that she loved in life. She will be with you all....even in death. Have peace in knowing she no longer is suffering.
Your family is will be in my prayers.

To have loved one, then lost,
is still better than to have never been so blessed.
To have been enriched by one's cheerfulness,
their memory lingers on.
Their hopes and ideals in the crevices of your mind,
their wisdom is there when you need it.
Whatever was good and noble within your loved one,
they still live through you.
May their life have had purpose and meaning
by keeping their good seed alive.
Only then can we truly say,"In Loving Memory."
God be with you and yours
through this difficult time.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

May God keep the family that is left behind, Heather was a very storng and caring woman. She will be missed. Lord lift up this family as they need you like never before.
November 13, 2008
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Heather touched everyone in the 10TV viewing area. I lost my mother fours years ago at Christmas time from a rare form of cancer. On her desk I found the following poem and would like to share with your family:
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
with tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting in the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tears, for I am spending Christmas with Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas Choir up here. I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring, for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart, but I am not so far away. We really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear ones. You know I hold you dear. And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Christ this year.
I send you each a "special gift" from my heavenly home above. I send you each a memory of my undying love. After all "LOVE" is the gift, more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as My Father said to do, for I can't count the blessing or the love He has for you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away the tears, remember that I'm spending Christmas with Christ this year.

I would like to give my condolences to the family of a wonderful lady! I watched channel 10 every morning just for the laughs that started my day. Heather Pick had a smile that made you smile right along with her. I will never forget her due to her announcing my son MyShawn's 1st birthday on 5-22-07 and she commented on his hat. She will truly be missed!!! Thank you Mrs. Heather Pick for your time spent with us and doing what you loved to do, make others feel better, you were truly sent from above!!!

I have never watched any other news channel more than channel 10. Heather's cheerful smile and funny comments will surely be missed. I remember the comment she made when they showed my sons picture on "Babys 1st Birthday". It was a picture of my son talking on a phone. She said the sweetest thing and it made me smile. I send my thoughts and prayers to her family. The news will never be the same without her.
November 12, 2008
I was truly devastated by the passing of Heather and my deepest sympathies go out to her husband and children and her Ch 10 family and friends. My morning didn't start till I turned on Channel 10 news to hear Heather and Chuck and laugh along with them. She will truly be missed.

Heather was always so full of life and funny. I enjoyed watching her on the 10tv news. Her smile was beautiful, never revealing her fight with cancer. Someone with that much enthusiasm for life truly enjoyed making others and herself happy. She was definitely a bright shining light and will not be forgotten. She is smiling down on her family and friends right now and continuing to make a difference in their lives. May her wishes be carried out by many.

My heart grieves at the loss of Heather. I've never met her but feel like she is part of my family. I started every morning by watching her on the news. Each morning I would evaluate her to see if she was feeling well or not. Sometimes it was hard to tell as she was such a professional. My prayers are for her husband, children, family and close friends. I pray that God will help them find joy in the memories of this precious lady.

You are in my prayers.
