I didn't know Heather well. But i did spend sometime to know who she was. I loved her smiles. She was there when my mom past two years ago. She fully hugged me, until i was healed. She protected me with her thoughts and Prayers. She and Rob and myself on morning we went to h. e.b. we had pickles and avacado's together. We couldn't sleep. But it was very sweet. We all had a beautiful conversation together. She also gives awesome hugs. She will always be in my heart forever. I'm very sorry for what happened to her. She was the most beautiful woman i have ever encountered. I shall talk to her in my dreams. Forever and ever. I love you Heather more than anything in the whole eternity. And guide us all to wherever you are. And may God richly bless you forevermore Amen. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My most sincere condolences to George and the family. I have many beautiful funny and happy memories of Heather that I will forever cherish, loved so loved by myself and many others. RIP little dove

I only knew Heather for a short time when she lived in Houston. We worked together for a couple of year. When she was pregnant with Cara I remember telling her how her tattoo was gonna get huge.. haha.

I meant so many time to go see her in Austin.. or see her when she was in Houston. I just didn't know her time with us would be so short. My heart breaks for you all. Sending you love and peace !!

Heather you were always very special to me. I will miss you my friend! Thank you for over twenty years of memories!

I'll never forget the good times. So sorry for your loss.

I will never forget the nights we would lay out on the balcony at George's and talk til the sun came up. Heather was an amazing person and awesome friend. You will be missed! Love Always!!!

I am so sorry to hear of Heather's passing. She was a great and dear friend to two of my daughters. Sherman Stone

I am still so speechless and heartbroken over your passing. Just having the opportunity to have met you, will forever be a Blessing to me. I Loved you then, And I'll always have love for the girl with the biggest smile in the room...... You and I had some wild/fun times that I will treasure FOREVER!!! Rest in Love my dear friend.... For you will never be forgotten:)))

Sorry for the loss of Heather.. She was a friend of mine back in High School at Mills High... RIP!!

I will forever love her. She was my rock that held me in place on far too many occasions. My heart and tears go to her family, some I have met, others I have not, but my prayers are to all. Oh the places we went Heather and the fun we had! I hope you have found your Galleywinter; and I'm pretty sure its filled with sparkle, glitter, and tiaras. I love you now, and forever my friend.

I miss you, Heather. I know we didn't see each other the past few years, but you never left my heart. We just let life's struggles get in the way. I was looking very forward to our getting together and catching up, and now we will not have the chance… at least not in this life.

I will never forget the day we met after our friendship developed online. It was the day before Cara's birthday, and I drove to Vegas where we met up for an RK show – what a blast we had. Things would never be the same. You and Cara moved to Austin, and I followed after you guys put me and Sadie up for a month so I could find a job. Then we managed to hit every show we could find over the coming years. You fashioned the most beautiful homemade wedding cake for Joey and I, and helped tremendously with our Do-It-Yourself wedding. Pretty soon, you were off on your trans-Atlantic adventure to Scotland, and we kept Cara safe and sound for you. What an honor it was that you trusted us with your beloved daughter – I know what that means, and I thank you for it.

I will never forget how intoxicating and vibrant and infectious and simply beautiful you were. You loved to drive because, God-forbid, anyone else ever be in charge, and you threw the most amazing themed parties. You could make anything fun, even buying a $5 scarf at Walgreens. And you loved to sing and dance and be goofy no matter the circumstance – and you loved to capture it all on film, even when it meant asking the cops if you could pose on the hood of their squad car. You were open and self-aware and unapologetic. You were full of life, full of smiles, and always incredibly fun.

I am so, so sorry that you had to go so soon. I am so sorry for Cara. I am so sorry for your parents, and your sisters, and your brother, and your nieces and nephews and the rest of your family and your friends, and everyone who never had the honor of knowing you. I have missed you terribly over the past few years, and I will miss you all the more in the future. RIP, my dear old friend. There are no words big enough for your passing.

Sending love and prayers to Heather and all of those feeling a great sense of loss in her death.

Thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed by so many and I am grateful to have known her.

I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Heather's sudden passing . . . so tragic and heartbreaking. My condolences, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My condolences to everyone in Heather's family. She will be deeply missed and was always such a joy to be around. We had the same kind of dry sense of humor and she was one of the crazy ones that did the 5:30 a.m. bootcamp with us and was ALWAYS there first, ready to go. She will leave a huge hole in your family, but we know she's smiling and I am grateful for the opportunity to be her friend. Our Tori Amos trip the day of her sister's wedding to find flowers (after some issues) will never be forgotten :-) Love you girl

I really don't know what to say. I just love you all so much and will keep you in prayer. Please tell me what to do or say if I can be of any help.

So,so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. She is in God's hands and God is with you.

Connie my condolences to you and Joey. I know it must be very hard to lose a daughter but God will give you the peace you need in a moment like this. I am Joey's cousin from PR. I will have you in my prayers!!!!!!

The Bertram family wishes to extend their most sincere condolences to George and the rest of the Wheeler family for their loss. I only met Heather once, at a Renaissance faire, and only by idle conversation discovered that she was related to my childhood friend as I spoke with her mother.
