I was so saddened to hear about Heather´s passing. She watched my son during the after-school program at Mossville Grade School and was always such a kind and caring presence. Every time I´d see her, she´d remember me and greet me with that same cheerful smile. We actually ran into each other just a couple of weeks ago, and she was her happy self....chatting about her love of flowers and landscaping. It made me so glad to hear how much she was enjoying her job at the country club. She truly had such a bright, genuine spirit, and she will be missed by so many.

Kind & outgoing gal Heather was. I recall going in & having some huge plates of her pot roast & ham & carrots--and she pulled along my bike to protect & escort me to another big feast & bonfire in back of Rome. She would always invite me to church events & make sure that I spoke for myself. Nice folks: all of Heather's family & friends: condolences. I will plant some trees & gardens & continue to tend the river.
