i had the wonderful opportunity of meeting and being friends with this little lady when i joined
she was such a joy to be with.
she always made me smile.
and laugh.
girls camp was the BEST because of Heather.
she made our cabin exciting and fun!
she would sleep walk sometimes too.
she would dance and sing for us.
she would teach us some gymnastics.
she loved dressing up for our skits.
never was she self conscious.
she just wanted to have fun.
that helped the rest of us get out of our shells.
i have a lot of wonderful memories of Heather.
i am really grateful for the time i had to know and spend with her.
Heather helped me A LOT.
we would have sleepovers at her house.
we would stay up talking for hours.
we tried to always stay up till midnight so we could have a LEGIT midnight snack!
she would play the drums.
pretty sure we bothered her brothers.
she helped me to know i wasnt alone.
that even though we all had different trials, we could all overcome them.
she helped me to remember that those trials didnt define who we are.
that we could move forward.
my mind keeps replaying those conversations for me.
i will always be grateful for Heather.
the Beck family was a great strength to our Warner family.
Brother Byron Beck was our Home Teacher for a while.
he helped us with some really hard and good things.
thank you so much for everything.
thank you for raising a wonderful daughter.
the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is what keeps us together for eternity.
The Plan of Salvation is comforting and true.
i know it to be so.
Heather.
you are missed.
you are amazing.
thank you for your wonderful spirit.
i love you.
How Sad :-(
