My dear beautiful Heather Honey. My life will be so very empty without you. My heart grieves for you and is broken. Never to be repaired. You made my life so much more fulfilled and you brought me great joy. You are like the daughter I’ve never had by all intent and love that you were my daughter. And I know u looked upon me as your Mom, Auntie, and Friend. I can’t even my life without you. That smile, those beautiful blue eyes, and sweet disposition was amazing. You lit up every room you walked into. You are deeply missed by me and I love you. It makes my heart soar knowing that you’ve gone home to our Lord, your mom, Gramma Jan, aunt Denise, your brother Ray, and so many others. Soar high my beautiful “daughter.”
