I have no words to express the loss that we've all shared, from her family to those who simply recognized her face, Heather will be sadly missed and remembered with great friendship and love.
Heather knows all 3 of my children, and is now with my oldest son in Heaven (she tried desperately to save Kristopher while she was pregnant with Ellie while working at PVH).
While working with Heather at Rite Aid, we grew to know each others children. She was my daughter's 1st Girl Scout leader, our children go to school together, Chip knows my children (school), I truly appreciate the opportunity to get to know Heather and her family.
God bless everyone that has been touched by this tragedy. I say tragedy because the world was brighter with Heather in it. Our thoughts, love, support, and prayers go out to everyone who was touched by her sweet soul.

Heather was so much more than a friend. She became family. A guiding light in dark times and someone to cry and laugh with. The world will forever be a little dimmer. You are loved and missed more than you could have imagined.
