My sincerest condolences to the family. I knew Heather, and considered her a close friend, when we both attended JB Rolle.

I just wanted to share that I only knew Heather for one year in high wchool (my Freshman, her Senior), and that one year was enough to mourn her passing. She was was so friendly and supportive of me in our Choir class, that she made an impact on my life. I'm so sorry tobhear she is gone so soon.
What a loss to this world. I hope the family finds it easy to share such a legacy.
Condolences.

I´m still in shock. Although we haven´t seen each other in years, the love still showed whenever we did see each other or in our periodic messages. Since hearing the news, I have thought often of the first day we met and all the fun times since that day. I will always cherish our friendship. Rest in peace my friend.

Sharon, John, Laura, Heath, Jordyn, and Justin, my condolences to all of you. You´ve all been in my thoughts these last couple weeks.

Met you as a young lady when I worked with your Dad at The POE. Years later my son and you became friends and we have kept in touch thru face book and running into each other around town. Love how you enjoyed sharing your photos of your son and special events. I know how much you love your family and Son as He is the love of your life and we will all miss your beautiful smile and friendship. Evalena Lancaster
