Heather, you will live on in my heart forever. I remember all the great times we shared together.
I was there when you first started driving, even though you would stall sometimes in the middle of an intersection, we would laugh so hard we were almost crying.
I was there when you moved out on your own for the first time; we would have so much fun in your empty apartment, even without having a dime.
I was there when you first fell in love, thru the good times and the bad; you always knew how to make a situation fun even if you were sad.
You weren’t afraid of anything or anyone, you were so strong and independent, and I know you would give the world for your son.
The years we've shared have been full of joy. The memories we've made will go on and on.
I haven't stopped crying since you went away, and I've asked God time and time why couldn't you stay.
You lit up my life, my hopes, and my dreams. You've opened my eyes to see what it all means.
So now that you're gone how can I forget; because you were the greatest out of all I have met.

My beautiful friend, you were truly one of a kind. I loved you from the moment we first met; your loving spirit touched my soul immediately. You were my first true friend when I was new to San Diego, and you stood by my side then and always. You gave so much of yourself, and seemed truly content to take care of others and put them before yourself. Giving is what brought you joy. Your sweet voice, contagious laughter, and perfect smile touched the lives of many. You loved your son more than words, and you always looked even brighter when you were with him. You were fiercely loyal, and would go to the ends of the earth for your loved ones. I am grateful to have been graced with your presence for the 6 years I was fortunate enough to have you in my life. I will live my life to the fullest, and strive every day to be the kind of person you were. You were always my strength, and now you are also my inspiration. You will always have a part of me, and I of you. I will never forget the bond we shared, and will cherish every memory. I will love you and miss you every day until we meet again. RIP beautiful angel.
