Heather, you will always be in my heart and memories for the hope you always had for mankind. Always !  As long as your beautiful daughter lives, you will never die. My heart is very sad but I know you are flying freely above us. In my heart you will be missed. Love, Barbara Atkins

I'll always regret that we never got that chance to catch up. Prayers going out to the family.

I wish I could see you again.  Life got in our way. We got in our way. As sisters we should have fought to get back to each other.  I will always live with the fact that I can't remember when I saw or touched you, spoke or laughed together with you . Fondly missing our day trips with the kids or family functions. I love you and always will.

Many memories with you I had. We started our friendship at the SPCA. I wish I could have had one more day with just us. I have our memories to last me.
Always loved you.
Peace be with you.
Lisa

I think of you Heather. My heart is often sad I didn't see you and talk to you recently. You and Dara had each other and she loved you so powerfully.
She was faithful to you. Always. I hope in my heart you knew how devoted to you she was. I know you were a good person. I pray for you Heather every day. For your peace Dear.

Oh Heather, I just heard of your passing. I loved your visits to my salon to get your hair done. It was such a treat to see you and catch up. There was something special about you. Fly my little fairy and spread your pixie dust for all to see. Candle in the wind. Love you! Teresa

Heather, I know you are okay. Heaven just received another angel to add to God's collection. It is always those left behind that suffer with the grief. Rest in peace beautiful...oh and give Houshi and Coco a little pat on the head for me. You always told me that the Rainbow bridge goes straight to Heaven. Love you.

I'm thinking of you Heather.  My heart is still sad we don't have you but I know you are free from the bonds that hold us here. So I pray God in his mercy welcomes you with open arms and you are wondering why we down here fret over nothing while you are the most happy and  know the true knowledge of happiness with Him.

Heather, I am so blessed to have met you. Every time you smiled you brightened up the room. You had a amazing smile. You were such a loving and caring person, everybody loved you. You meant so much to me. You were my best friend and meant the world to me. I miss you so much, and can't wait until our souls meet again.

My sweet, darling daughter. I miss you so desperately. But, I find a bit of solace in knowing you will have no more pain, confusion and anxiety. No more lyme. I know the battle you fought. It was long and hard. Please watch over us as we continue to try to live without you. I have always and will always love you. Spread your wings and fly my precious little girl.

There's not a night that goes by I don't think of you. Just knowing your not in pain is the only thing that keeps me going. Love and miss you so much

Dear Heather sweetheart, I thought of you all day today trying to be happy on your daughters 14th birthday today. She and I talked a little about you watching her today and everyday from above.

Heather, It makes me so happy to be able to see your beautiful face. How much I miss you even thru our hard times. You always had manners and kindness within you. Your whole family misses you though I think Dara still has a very hard time not being able to see you and hug you. She doesn't write I feel because it is still too painful for her but your family has been so good to her. Luv Barb
