She would light up any room she entered and always had something to say that would make everyone laugh. Heather was the spark in our family and while she is no long with us, the spark she left lives on in each of our hearts. What a gift she was to each of us and our lives are forever changed now that she is no longer with us. Heather touched every one of us in her own special way and we love her. Her parents were proud to call her their daughter. We all have a peace that Heather is in a far better place now, and that she was welcomed with open arms by our family that was awaiting her arrival. She can provide the happiness to them that she gave to us. What a gift heaven received today. Rest in peace, dear one, and know that you are loved. Funeral services will be held 10:00am, Monday, August 9, 2010 at First Baptist Church, 900 Pullen St., Royse City, TX, with Pastor Chad Hays officiating.
