Heather Feather, you have given me more than you will ever know with your friendship. To say that we were best friends always seemed to lack in the meaning of what you really were to me. I have always loved you as a sister and remember when we first had that thought that one day we could be sisters! I have so many wonderful memories of us together that one day i will share with your beautiful girls, and these memories i will always keep close to my heart. I miss you so much and actually seem to miss you more and more as my life goes on without you. We may be separated in distance but never in heart. May you rest in peace and watch over us! Love you Always and Forever, Amylee

Madalyn, your Mommy wanted you to have my name and she told me I was a special person and grandma to her. Kaytlyn Ruth, you were named for a special person, too, great grandma Ruth Kolish. I am honored to be your great grandma, Zola Risher, and I love you both deeply.

Aaron,
Heather's passing leaves a void in all our hearts. Heather knew you were a devoted loving Daddy that would take good care of the precious girls GOD placed in your lives. I was so blessed and honored that Heather and you wanted Madalyn Zola to have my name. As Heather and you chose to name Kaytlyn Ruth to honor the memory of your grandma Ruth Kolish. That was a beautiful tribute to her.

love,
Grandma Risher
