It was such a treat seeing you at Dee Dee's service. You were so welcoming and friendly, asking about my girls with whom you went to GAC and St. Pat's. It was certain you loved being a wife and mom to your family. It is so hard to believe that your beautiful and sweet young life has ended on this earth. Evelyn, Ryner, Katie, Heather's husband and boys are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

Heather with her curls and smiles. I have such special family memories from those Grand Rapid visits. Memories become magnets. Heather grew to be loved by a wider community, all who treasure her gifts at the time of her loss and for years to come.

One of God's greatest gifts is the gift of family. We are now mourning the loss of our family member, Heather. Heather was a blessed, caring, loving, sweet woman of God. We remember with pride and joy watching her grow up from an adorable little girl with a head full of curls and just a wee bit shy to a beautiful, vibrant woman, wife and oh! so proud Mom. Even though the miles separate us, we are holding you all close to our hearts. Prayers and blessings during this very difficult time - Cathy and Bob, Ashleigh, Chris and Jenna and the boys - Noah and Mason. The Gee Clan.

What a joy it was to listen to Heather speak so lovingly of her family as we watched 25 beautiful white doves fly home as grand finale to a memorial celebration. I am so thankful that our Lord provided the opportunity to hear how grateful she was for the blessings she had enjoyed with those she loved,during the years since I saw her at her wedding. She will surely be missed by many and I pray that Jesus will ease the pain of all who must struggle with her absence. In His love,Liz

I am so sorry to hear about Heather. I remember her very well from St. Patrick's church. She always had a smile and laughed. She was so kind to me and always made me feel welcomed even though I was younger than her. I remember spending the night at your house with Katie and Heather and had such fun. I am so sorry. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for your family. I love you all.
Love,

I always enjoyed Heather's company..she was funny, sincere, and kind. I sought out Heather at gatherings because she was so easy to talk to. When my first child was born she called me up to check on me, brought me a meal, and told me to come over to go through her kids' old clothes and toys! She barely knew me at the time (I'm Katie's friend) but she sent me home with a ton of stuff. She will be missed!

I will remember Heather as one who always had a smile to give. She took the time to ask questions about my life and get to know me even though we didn't get to see each other very often. She was a loving, caring person and will be missed greatly. I am so sorry for your loss and I am praying for you all.

Heather and I were in the same graduating class at GAC. Other's in our class were sharing the news yesterday and it left us all so sad. Heather was a kind soul from what I remember and she is way too young to leave us! I am so sorry for her family. I know the loss to both of her son's and her husband is beyond words. Please know that many of us are lifting your family up in prayer and may God's love hold you tightly together. God's blessings!
