Heather was a kind hearted person with Love & Fun where ever she was. She and her daughter´s were a joy to be in my Life for a short time personally but always a friend. Her Life ended way too soon but I understand that GOD Needed Her More. May GOD Give Heather´s Children Strength and Love to get them through their Lifetimes with out her. May everyone close to her Children Always be there to Support their Loss of their Mother. Times will be hard but they have a lot of Family and Friends to give them what they will need in the future.
