"I knew Heather through church at Bethesda as well as Riverside Lutheran Bible Camp. We travelled to Tanazania together and had the best time! Heather was an amazing woman who had a positive impact in my life. I can honestly that some of the best memories in my life included Heather. My deepest condolences to her husband and family. Nothing prepares you for this pain and grief. Words are not enough, but please know Heather made the world a better place. "
"Heather's father Dave was our rep for a number of years. He spoke often of the struggles Heather was having to endure. There is nothing harder than to watch your child suffer with an illness. There is not a more helpless feeling than having to watch your child suffer and die. There are no words to help console a parent in this most terrible of times. You are a good man, God bless you and your family. You are in our prayers."
