Dear Becky and Bill,
The picture of Heather saids it all. She was beautiful and such a joy to you and to all she met. Judy has kept me current through the years, in fact I may even have a picture of your Sky flying in Florida.
You are in my prayers as I pray that God will be with you, comfort and love you, and that His peace will guide you.

Becky and Bill - May your memories of Heather's wonderful smile & joyful, courageous heart sustain you in your loss. She was an extraordinary young woman. I feel privileged to have known her and you. Amy thought that I had heard the news, but I was on spring break in the D.C. area. Your family is in my prayers.

Bill and Becky, our family is very sad to hear about Heather. We had no idea she was ill or that you were going thru this horrible ordeal. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that we will always have fond memories of Heather and our times in soccer and Girl Scouts. I never think of her that I don't remember she and Cari running up and down the soccer field when they were about 5 or 6 years old and hear Bill yelling in his patient father/coach voice "Heather, where are you?" Those words mean something totally different now.

Bill and Becky my heart goes out to you. I am at a loss for any words of comfort but I hope you both find peace soon. May the memories you both share of your wonderful daughter stay with you forever. I don't think of high school or the few years after without thinking of Heather. I still tell stories of the things we did. I will never forget her and I will be eternally grateful to have had the chance to be her friend.

I too went to school with heather and remember her battle well from elementary school. She was one of the sweetest people. Like to many of us we lost touch since high school but only recentley talked to her agian at walgreens. I had no idea that she was still fighting her battle with Cancer. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers and she will always be remembered!

Heather and I were best friends in elementary, I have so many great memories of her. She was always so strong, as I remember when she had to have brain surgery in elementary. That is how I will remember her, my thoughts and prayers are with you family.
