Al, Owen and Donny, I just heard the news and I am completely heart-broken. I was picking out her Valentine present of more cookies and cake pops. My prayers go out to you all to bring comfort and peace. I am not going to be able to come up for the funeral but please give my love to our family. Thinking of you. Love you all, Hope to see you sometime in the future. XOXO Heather
