I have never been loved so deeply by any other friend before in my life. We were inseparable. We have so many memories. So many laughs. We were meant to be to be friends. We were meant to have the time we had. I will look for the soul calling out My Cherie Amour when i see you again. Until then, I look to the sky. I look for the sunsets. I look at the clouds. I try to comprehend that you are even more beautiful now, and thats when I try to smile. You are a beautiful soul and I can not wait to see you again. “Leos Unite” I love you Heather.

My first born, I see you in everything. Every butterfly, flower, the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the rain and the amazing rainbows after. I see you in your children. the pain is unbearable to know that they will grow up without their Mother and never know the complete joy and laughter you brought to this world. I found your newborn picture today and for a moment I thought I could smell your head and that intoxicating baby smell. Heather, I am beyond devastated. To think I will never see you, laugh with you, hug you or kiss you is beyond my comprehension. I truly never knew that your heart can physically hurt and no one should have to go through this ever in their life. I sleep very little these days, even less than I normally do. Truly wanting to see you in my dreams and hear your voice. I love you my sweetness and will see you when it's time. Fly high my angel.
Love you forever, Mom

Oh sweet Heather, I find myself saying oh sweet Heather so much more in only what seems like days but it’s been about 18 years... every since I met your brother you’ve always said oh sweet Rachel, with a giggle and a smile and one of your famous hugs, my heart is crushed. You were the reason Nathan went to church all those years ago, and the reason I picked your birthday to be baptized on. You always remembered it and always came back with a happy baptism day after I wished you a happy birthday... we didn’t share a lot but we shared something so special at the same time, every year for about 17 years and I’ll never stop counting. I miss you so much, your niece and nephew miss your laugh and your zest. Your brother misses you deeply. We love you and just know your getting some more giggles in on our behalf up there in heaven. #rockonbeautiful
