My dear sister, I miss you so much. So many fond memories growing up. You, Steven, and I made a great team, especially as we became adults. Many difficulties, but we got through. I love you and am thankful you were my sister!
Grace, Tom, Heidi and Steve, We are so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed watching Heather grow up across the street and always loved to hear her sing, especially at our wedding. We hope you find strength in your memories of Heather. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Phil and Carla Ranns
