Heather is the Granddaughter of my sister Dianne Sullivan and mother of Donna Lynn Whitehead. I only had the honor of meeting Heather once. We became friends on facebook about 18 months ago. I know she was a bright star in the lives of anyone who knew her. We wish she could have stayed longer but she will be a light for our souls as we follow. Heather, I love you. Aunt Jacque

Heather was a wonderful friend to my daughter, Kristen. I'm so glad they met & spent time together. She was such a sweetheart every time she was around...always smiling & laughing. She lifted the spirit of others & taught us things no one else could. We love her, miss her & will always treasure the memories of our times shared!

I just want to let Donna know that I am so deeply sorry for your loss of such a precious daughter. She has touched so many lives with her bravery and dignity in living with this disease of Scoliosis. We love her as if she is part of our family and I know that plenty others have as well. She will be in our hearts forever.
