My deepest sympathies to Heather's family. I am devestated at just learning of her passing. She was without a doubt the closest girl friend I had from 7th thru 12th grade and we lost touch shortly after I left for the military. I have thought of her beautiful smile and all the memories we shared in high school many times and will never forget as long as I live. Rest in peace Heather.

Dear Carlos, Ryan and Ryleigh,
I only met Heather several months ago at St. Joe's as a member of Survivors Offering Support, (SOS). We had many long chats while I sat with Heather when she was having chemo.The candle is a sign of Heather watching over you as one of God's angels. Even though I have only known Heather for a short period of time, I will miss seeing and chatting with her. I hope the prayer shawl I sent Heather gave her peace and comfort of the Lord. May all the prayers and support you receive at this time keep the memory of Heather alive. May God bless all of you.
