Today is the first anniversary of Heidi's death. I find it hard to believe that we have all somehow survived for one year without seeing her amazing smile, and hearing her sweet laughter.

I have spent the day reflecting on her life and what she meant to me.

I loved my sister and miss her so much more than anyone knows.

Mom I miss you more than anything in my whole life. It just seems like yesterday that you and I were playing Outburst Jr. I feel as if I will see you tommorow but I never do. I know that I will see you again

My sweet Sister, it has been 6 months since you left us. My journey to continue on in life without you has been very challenging. I have discovered that losing someone you love is like a wound that is ever so slow to heal; no amount of salve or medication will ease the wound before it’s time. I miss you more than I could have ever imagined, you are never far from my thoughts.

My love is with you.

Heidi,
Months have passed but I still think of you daily. I find I still
remember what your smile looks like, what your laugh sounds like...even
what you wore to my high school graduation. Most of all, I recall the
happiness you and my mother shared as loving, deeply connected sisters.
I remember your weekend shopping trips, phone conversations that would last for hours and your attempts at coaxing my mother along on some of your adventures. You were one of her joys, and she was yours. Anyone could see it.

Heidi, you will always be beautiful and loved and most importantly,
never forgotten. I miss and love you, but I know you are happy and
still so proud of your beautiful children.

Heidi, Yesterday was Christmas.I was at your dad's house.I kept waiting for you to call and wish us a merry christmas or for you to walk thru the front door and ask your dad what he cooked.This was our first Christmas without you and it was oh so hard.There was such a void.It had to be incrediably hard for the kids.Heidi, you are gone but certainly not forgotten.We all love you and miss you terribly.Our only comfort is knowing that you are now pain free and at peace.Merry Christmas sweetie.Love always and forever.

Dear Dondi and family:
You have taught me alot this past month Dondi--about Grace & Dignity and the importance of making every moment count. I was with my children and their families last night and I saw thru different eyes and heard thru different ears,and saw how precious life is. I know that you are making a difference in your sister's children's life,by spending weekends with them. They are so fortunate to have you in their lives. I believe that your sister lives on thru her children,so you are spending time with her too--maybe that trip to the Oregon coast will come true someday. I also need to thank my friend Bob,for helping you thru this process Dondi,cause he does know how to walk thru grief with dignity and find light on the other side. Thanks Bob for taking care of Dondi. Remeber I'm here if you need to talk Dondi. I Love you. Peggy

Dearest Heidi,

It had been 7 years since I last saw you and your beautiful smile.
I can still remember all the good times we shared together especially the river rafting trip. I remember you were both nervous and laughing at the same time which made it difficult for me to assist the rest of our raft crew in rowing. I could hardly contain my laughter with each wave that threatened to flip the raft over. You were a true trooper as you liked to call yourself. As one of God’s children, you have truly been a blessing in the lives you have touched including mine. I know your spirit will continue to shine in us all.
My deepest sympathy goes out to your entire family!

Rest in peace……you will be missed
Don B.

I felt my spirit break when I lost my sister. This grief I feel is like a strong, unforgiving undertow. No matter how hard you try it pulls you under and your only hope is that in the end, you will continue to have the strength and energy to be the victor.

I miss Heidi so much. My loss is not only for what we shared, but what will never be. There are so many things that we just put off because we would get busy, and it seemed like there was always going to be time. We let the entire summer go by and never drove down the Oregon coast like we talked about so many times. We never hit Vegas by storm, we were in no hurry – there was always another time. Please know what I have so painfully learned – there may not be another time.

Rest, my dear Sister, in peace you so deserve.

Heidi I can right a book about us.I know I miss that smile of yours and miss stareing in those crazy beautiful eyes of yours.I still can't believe that your gone,I find myself calling your phone numbers,but no answer.No Heidi to talk too,crack jokes with like we did every day for years.If I knew that thursday morning would have been the last time I would of talk to you I would'nt of let you tell me that you was busy at work and I would of told you how much you mean to me,how much I love you and that I need you here with me.I cherish those last five months we spent together because we spent a lot a time together.You were always there when I needed you,I wish you would of let me make your life a lot easyer and maybe you would be still here,but you were so independent and I love that and hated that at the same time you would'nt let me help you like I want to.I miss giving you those hugs that you like so much.Everybody knows and knew that you were my girl no matter who you are I had in our life,but I know for sure we will be together in are next life time LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!

"LOVE NOUG" I MISS YOU!!!

How do you capture Heidi in a few words? You don’t, and I can’t.

I had the privilege, pride, joy, and some frustration of being Heidi’s big sister. So Please, indulge this sister as I try to talk about Heidi and her life.

I am nine years older, so in many ways Heidi was like "my baby" when I was growing up. When she was a toddler, Heidi would always climb in bed with me and pull my eyelashes to wake me, annoyed doesn’t even begin to cover it. My baby sister was like a shadow and I could not ditch her no matter how hard I tried. Much to my chagrin, I was forced to look after her, and bring her everywhere I went. I would tell my friends "I found her up a tree, fed her some bread crumbs and she followed me home". When we were adults she told me that hurt her feelings and made her feel unloved. How could my sister ever feel unloved?

At Heidi’s viewing, I spoke with a man who told me my sister was the most beautiful girl at Cleveland High school, and that he and countless other young men were madly in love with her. Oddly enough , my first thought was that I couldn’t wait to get home and call Heidi to let her know what this handsome man had said about her.

My sister cast so much light in so many ways, in so many of our lives. With utter sadness and complete heartbreak I was forced to discover, that at only a few days before her 34th birthday her light shone no more. I try to find comfort in the fact that she has left sparks of light in all of us, especially her beloved children Marqui and Mariah.

I will love you always “Sister Dear”.

Dear Dondi and family:
My heart goes out to all of you,especially Heidi's children.God will mend broken hearts,if feelings are allowed to be shared and shown to others. I know that Dondi is a gentle soul,and I'm sure her sister was too. Great role models for children.Memories of Heidi will always stay in your heart,so you all can visit with her when needed. I hope by Springtime, that your family's hearts will be healed enough,to be able to look into the center of a tulip---and see Heidi's face smiling up at you. God Bless you all. If there's anything I can do--just ask!!!

I would like to express my deepest sympathy, and to encourage Heidi's family to be of strong courage in this very difficult time. Although she is no longer with us, the love and joy she shared with others will never be forgotten. Share, her joy and zest for life with her children, Mariah and Marqui. Help them to achieve the goals and dreams she so much wanted for them. By doing so,that same joy and love of life, can and will be manifested in them. And her spirit will always be present in those lives in whom she has touched.

we grew up together like brother and sister. You were very special to me. Even when we both were in the military and living in different states we stayed closed. I could always count on your smile cheering me up. I will miss the times we spent talking about your dad and my mom. I will miss the times we spoke about how we were raising our kids. I will miss doing family things with you. I love you cousin and will miss you much. Love eternally your big cousin. John

You will forever be my sister. Even when we skipped a month or two speaking, we would pick up the phone and it would seem like no time had passed. I learned so many important lessons from you, like, "never go to sleep angry" because you never know when you won't wake up. And always end a coversation with I love you. I will a always love you, H. Until we meet again...

Aunt Heidi would often babysit my sister and I when we were younger and my mom would tell her not to let us watch scary movies. After one time spending the night I had nightmares saying someone was going to get me but when asked I said I couldn't say who. I didn't want to get Aunt Heidi in trouble with my mom because she had let my sister and I watch Nightmare on Elm Street :).

I love and miss you very much Aunt Heidi.
