Heather was a dear friend and healer with whom I had the privilege of practicing for nearly 10 years. I fondly remember our Thursday sessions, where she inspired us to embrace the feminine divine and radiate love as a means to heal our broken country and world. You are deeply missed, my dear friend.
Heather was my cousin. She was beautiful inside and out. I will always cherish fond memories of her while we were growing up.
I love you ❤️
Heather was such a wonderful support for me in a difficult time. I’m so sorry to know about her loss on this plane. She was remarkable.
Sweet Heather was my niece and she had the most beautiful heart and soul. Always happy to see you with her bright shining smile. I looked forward to her Christmas card and a picture of her precious family and the most perfect handwritten note. I truly will miss her and pray for her family. Till we meet again beautiful girl 😇
Met Heather late in my life through her Mother but feel I’ve known her forever. Her kind and caring soul and positive nature bled through any time I was near her. She was the center of a loving family, and having known her will always be a reason for me to smile. Her presence always had a calming magic peacefulness that still reigns through with my thoughts of you and that smile.
Love Charlie
Heather was a precious, beautiful, person! Once you met her, you would always remember her lovely smile! Heather’s mother, Penny is our niece, and we were so sad to learn that this kind, caring and loving girl was gone. Heather will never grow old in our thoughts , she will always be the special Individual that was instantly loved! You are in our hearts forever. We love You!

Heather,
You were a blessing to our family and I will always remember the joy, kindness and love you brought into our lives.
Rest in the peace of the Lord Jesus.
Love, Uncle Dennis
I had the pleasure of growing up with Heather as my cousin/sister all of our childhood years. She was beauty and grace, even then. Her laughter was infectious and her smile radiated her entire face (just like Aunt Penny’s). We spent hours at each others homes, playing Barbie’s, dolls, making up dances, spying on Michael and my brothers, sleepover shenanigans…..
Heather was smart, funny and loving. In all the ways she was gifted and there were many, the role of mom, was her most prized. Her 5 children were her greatest treasures. To be loved by her was a blessed treasure as well. I pray comfort and peace for all her loved ones as you mourn her loss on earth. May you carry her legacy of love and memories with you, until you see her again.
Love to all ❤️
Rest in the Lord precious Heather.
Heather, my dear, sweet cousin. Though we were always apart in age and distance, I always knew you to be a beautiful human. You exuded love and peace.
Sending love and comfort to your whole family.
Heather was a truly kind and gentle soul, a beautiful person inside and out. She was like an angel among us, and her absence will be deeply felt by all of us. We will miss her more than words can express.
Love, Aunt Vicki
Though I haven’t seen my sweet cousin Heather in many years, I still remember her so vividly. She had this beautiful mix of warmth, kindness, and grace that drew people to her. Even as a young adult, I remember feeling so connected to her spirit — she had a way of making everyone feel welcome and loved. Her smile could light up a room, and her heart was even brighter. Time and distance may have passed, but I’ve never forgotten the gentle, caring person she was. The world was better with Heather in it, and my heart and prayers are with the family.
Heather,
Your life was a reflection of your kind and loving heart. Even as a child, your radiant smile and adorable giggle when you laughed, revealed your sweet spirit. You were a blessing full of love and goodness.
Now, you have returned to the source of all love, Almighty God.
1 Corinthians 13
“And now these three things remain: faith, Hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Love always,
Aunt Anne
My dearest Heather,
You have touched my heart. When Marci was in the hospital you reached out to me with your comforting words in your card. When Marci passed away you called me and it meant the world to me. I will always treasure you.
Your cousin,
Tim
Heather was a beautiful person whose kindness and warmth will always be remembered. May she rest in peace, and her memory stay in our hearts forever.
Love, your cousin Kathy
Positive, kind, and radiant are words that come to mind when thinking of Heather. As you first cousin, I will always remember the fun childhood memories we made; those were good times! Heather, you will be missed but never be forgotten.
Prayers and many blessings to your family, Jeff Westfall
We were absolutely shocked at Heathers passing. Our hearts are broken. We live right next door to Heather. We observed her beautiful family growing. She was so proud of her family. Her eyes would sparkle when she talked of them. We were friends but really never interacted. We knew of Heathers fight with cancer. Her fight was long and hard. She was a champion of grace and bravery. We prayed for her and her family knowing that this time would come. The shock for us, came with only finding out of her passing on October 9th. The grief we feel of not knowing she was sick and in the hospital again or that she had passed on Sept. 24th, two full weeks ago, is horrible. Regrets in life never go away. We will never forget Heather. Without a doubt the kindest, most loving, soft spoken, friendly person we have ever known. We would always look in the direction of her home feeling lucky to have her and family as neighbors. She has left behind an amazing family. She has set a hard example for other to follow. She will remain in our memories and challenge us to become like her. Our prays remain for her family and friends to go on. Remembering Heather when the wind blows, the sky is blue, the air is crisp and fresh.
Heather,
We’re going to miss your sweet smile and your warm hugs. We will miss hearing you say, “I love you”. You were such a ray of sunshine.
Your Uncle Russ and I will keep your children, parents, and brother in our prayers. We hope they take comfort in knowing that you are at peace and in a better place.
We love you,
Uncle Russ and Aunt Brenda
Dearest Penny and Heather
You have both been angels on earth and I guess now Heather will just be watching over you from Heaven! She was a beautiful person inside and out.
What an inspiration she was for all those that were in her life!
The many tributes left to Heather come as no surprise. I too remember that beautiful smile and happy outlook when she was a teenager. Heather seemed to make people happy merely with her presence. We are heartbroken that she is gone so early.
I want to thank those who have commented or may comment on Heather’s page. Your kind words have greatly comforted me. Sending love to all of you. Penny
I have known Heather since high school. We have had a lot of nicknames and terms of affections for each other over the years but one we always went back to was soul sister. She is like no other friend I have ever had…we just seemed to understand each other on another level. She was funny, kind, smart, a great cook, made the best cup of coffee I have ever had in my life, an infectious laugh, healer and much more. I will carry her with me forever. Sending love to all her knew her.
