Our hearts beat a sad song today. Heather was personally responsible for so much happiness. So much love poured out of one person. Duane & I will always be grateful to her, for introducing us, for loving us & for being our friend. Without heather, there would be no us. If for no other reason, that alone would be enough for us to always love, always celebrate & always find hope in the legacy that she left us. We will miss her & that beautiful smile.
Linda & Matt,
I am so heartbroken to hear this news. My love goes out to you both through this difficult time.
Much Love,
