Cody and I bought a house and I wish you were here to see it. I know he wishes he could give you a call and invite you over for dinner and share such a huge moment in his life. We miss you and of course think of you often. 

I really wish you were here and I know Cody does too. Every time I think about wedding plans I can’t help but think of you. This was definitely your kind of thing and you should be there. I hope you’re out there watching over us still. 

The holidays are such a hard time without you here. Your family misses you more than you can imagine. I know you are still out there watching over everyone, especially Cody. He is a strong, wonderful man, but every boy will always need their mom. 

You will always be in our thoughts.

Alex, I haven't heard from you in at least 15 years ( back in MO) and to find you had finally settled down with a lovely woman and have children makes me so happy.  I'm so very sorry that your time together was shortened.  My heart truly breaks for you and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I cried as I thought of you on your birthday, Heather. You were taken from us way too soon. I think of you at the weirdest times. I sometimes hear you calling my name and/or laughing with me at something we'd think was funny. Like the time when we went to City Park with Nate to take pics. You thought the geese were so cute until the one came right up to you at the bench and bit your thigh, then chased you all over the park! Your bruise was HUGE!! I barely got the story out to Kevin and the kids the other day because I was laughing so hard. lol 
That was the first time I was able to talk and think about you without crying. I've passed on our sleepover tradition of splitting a 1/2 gallon of chocolate ice cream to Kristyn and her best friend. That is something from our friendship that will last another generation. I miss you terribly, and will until the day we see each other again. I will always wish we had more time. I love you forever my sister, my best friend.

Heather you were a sweetheart I'm glad that God allowed me the chance to meet you.  Rest In Peace and may your family have comfort in the days to come.  God bless!!

You were a beautiful and kind person, and a good friend for the 20 years I've known you. You loved much, and were greatly loved. I will miss you deeply.

Heather was an inspiration to all those who knew her. Memories of her will never be forgotten.  Her life was full of ambition and love for her parents, her sisters, her son and husband.  Her life reminds me of an old passage that tells us all of what GRIEF is.  It is said that grief is a suit case that each of us has to carry in our lives.  Every day, no matter what, you have to pick up the suitcase and carry it with you.  Sometimes the suitcase feels like it is filled with rocks and the burden is too great to bear, and then some days it feels as lite as a feather, but no matter what, you always carry it.  For Heather, she has no burden any longer, for now, GOD has picked up the suitcase and carries it for her.  She now lives in heaven and builds a new home with Christ.  Heather will be greatly missed by all those who knew her.  She has and will always will be our friend and she is loved today as yesterday.

You always had a smile on that beautiful face. I feel blessed to have known you the last 20 some years. Your kindness and gentleness was always a blessing to feel when around you.. Yes heaven has received a special angel!

Compassus would like to express their sorrow and love to the family during this time. May you be able to find comfort and peace through the thoughts and prayers from those that are around you. Hospice Compassus Team

Heather was a very special and caring person. I will miss her.  She was more than a co-worker to me, she was a friend.

My memories of Heather will be in my heart forever.  Heather was more than a co-worker with many of us, she was our friend who loved her and shared her happiness.  She was an inspiration to all us.

Heather was a special person.  So sweet and caring.  Heaven has a special angel now.

The special memories of you will always bring a smile.   Our rips to Starbucks, dinner, Vin Diesel movies, pedicures and shopping.  Every day seems so strange not talking to you.  You will forever be the most caring person I've known.  My thoughts and prayers are with your wonderful family. The fact that you are no longer here will always cause us pain but you're forever in our hearts until we meet again.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Heather will be missed.
