Dear Angel,
I still think of Heather and how she was such a great friend and an amazing person.I was numbed when I heard about her passing and cried my eyes out for several days.It took me months to get a grip on it as she was one of the best friends that I have ever had.But she is still so much alive in my heart. I still to this day look up at the first star I see in the sky and say hello to her.Love you Heather! Bless you babe.Miss you.

Ron and Jackie,
How sorry I am to hear of your loss. I met Heather last fall at a dinner and got to speak to her for quite a while. Just as lovely as she always was. God bless you all.

To Heathers family & friends

I met Heather working at Gemtron. I got to know her through a mutual friend. I enjoyed her even though it was a short time.Having learned of her achievements as a model, it strikes me that she was quite humble and not overly impressed with herself. I remember sharing my Pampered Chef brownie cups with her. She really enjoyed them.
I have wept over the loss of this precious young lady.

To all of Heathers Family; I am so very sorry for your lose. Heather worked here in Vincennes at Schott Gemtron for a short time. Thats where I had the chance to meet one of the most wanderfull people I have been blessed to know. We got to talking one day and I told Heather, that she looked like a model I'd seen somewhere before, and that she walked and acted like one too. She laughed and thought that was funny. See none of us here knew she was and she didn't talk about it. I thought that she was so very sweet and down to earth. She was just a very lovely person. I along with some other co workers really missed her when she got laid off from gemtron, but we had no idea she had been a model til after her passing. I loved talking to Heather and loved working along side of her. She will be missed by so many here. I just wanted to say that I wish that the world had more Heathers out there that had such a large and loving warm heart that I got to know for the very short time she was here. My Love and Prayers to the whole family as you lay to rest a beautiful and wanderful woman.

Dear Family:

We are praying for you during this difficult time. We truly wish we could be with you in person, but please know we are with you in spirit.

We loved Heather! She brought so much love and laughter to this world. The last trip we made to Florida was so enrichened by the family reunion you hosted for us.

Julie remembers when we had returned from visiting you all, our little girl, Rita, said, "Momma, Heather is so beautiful! She's the pretty you talk about...she was so nice to us!" Heather was the living example we had tried to show our little doll, "Pretty is as pretty does."

May God bless you with His peace and strength during this difficult time.

With Love & Prayers,
Bill, Julie, James & Rita Clark

I was so sorry when I heard about Heather. She was such a sweet and down-to-Earth girl and I know you will miss her so much. She was lucky to have had such a wonderful, loving family and there's no doubt she knew that.

Heather was a classmate of my daughter Brook at Frankton through junior high and high school. I remember Heather as a quiet young lady with a beautiful smile. Thinking of Heather makes me remember all the basketball games and slumber parties the girls had. God Bless you Jackie and all of Heather's family and friends

I knew Heather when she was just two years old. Her mother and I are great friends, and her aunt Lisa and I are best of friends, we call each other sister. I remember being in the play house out back of Heather's grandmother's house in Pendleton, we use to watch her play there. Bless her heart, I am so sorry for the pain and loss that we are all suffering from this beautiful person who now is in God's arms.

I am so sorry for your loss. Heather was always such a beautiful woman and had such a wonderful soul. She was always there for me when I needed someone to pick me up from hard times. I haven't seen her in many years but reading this today brings back many wonderful memories that I will cherish forever. God Bless you and your family.
