Terry Taylor My darling Heather….it’s been a year of Saturdays since you passed away and the pain is as fresh today as it was a year ago. Words can not express the loss I feel. The only saving grace is you are out of pain. I feel you looking out for me every day. You would be so proud of Kyle and the dad he has become….not to mention what a wonderful young man Josh is becoming. (He’s so like you) I love and miss you honey….my sweet girl. Love Mum…xoxo

Kyle I love you Heather, forever and always like we promised. Josh and I will always love you and think of you every day. I will be with you again and until then don’t you worry, we will be ok. I love you honey and wish every hour of the day you were here. Bear misses you so much too. Until I see you again my honey, love you.

Courtnay Horn I still can’t believe you’re gone Heather.
Words cannot describe how I felt to come across your obituary when trying to locate you. I often wondered what happened to you. I feel terrible for not knowing, for not being there for you during the hardest time in your life.
I hope you hear me talking to you because I miss you so very much.

Sarah harrison This is probably one of the hardest things to write. I know it’s been some time, my condolences to everyone.
We had drifted apart over the years and had just gotten back in touch when you told me of your diagnosis, as well you lighting up and telling me all about your amazing little man Joshua. I will always be so proud of you, for who you became and what you where able to overcome in life. You put yourself out there and showed how amazing, strong, beautiful, smart, loving and stubborn you were. You are one little lady I could never forget, from running around as kids to growing up and adulting. I’m glad we were able to have a few conversations. I’m so sorry that this is how you were taken from this world. You put up one heck of a fight. May you carry on without pain but now with wings. Rest easy Heather.

Courtnay Horn I’m in utter shock!
Heather and I were best friends for a very long time. When I moved away to Ontario, her and I sadly became more distant. The last I spoke with her was back in 2018 when I deleted my Facebook.
I’ve been off social media for some time now, so I had no idea she passed away. My heart is broken. I’m just beside myself and I wish I could of been there for her.
Heather I’ll always be thinking of all our fun adventures together, your bright and bubbly personality, your passion for photography and makeup.
You were always so kind to me, even when others weren’t. I’m so sorry we became distant, my heart is broken. I’ll never forget all the funny photos and videos we took together.
You were obsessed with my duck face haha. Those moments I’ll ALWAYS cherish. I love you Heather. RIP beautiful.
My deepest condolences.

Kim Jackson I’m so sad to hear of the passing of Heather. I remember her fondly when she and my daughter went to elementary together and her coming to birthday parties at my house. She was always such a happy kid.
Heaven gained a strong and beautiful soul, it’s a shame she had to leave so soon, but she definitely left her mark in this world. Fly high with the Angels Heather! My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

Carol Sigurnjak To this day, every time I think of Heather my first recall is of a little girl. An incredibly energetic little “ball of fire” bombing down the Sooke government wharf and practically vaulting off a shrimp pole . . Little Hellion . . 🙂 Thank you for touching my heart.
Rest in Peace sweet Angel

Christa Friebe I met Heather when she was 9 years old. She was a bright eyed and beautiful child that I instantly loved and had a connection with. Her and I looked out for each other and became like sisters at the very core of it. Heather overcame so much in her life and I looked on with pride as she prevailed over every challenge. I have always been so very proud of her; the way she lived her life inspired me to fight on, to keep moving forward and to face up to whatever tried to stand in my path. She has always been close to my heart and she will continue to stand tall to me.
Terry, Trish and Rick, you know who you are to me. And you know who Heather will always be to me. I pray for peace to cover you as you grieve her loss and that you may take comfort in the knowledge that she loved and cherished you all so much.
I am deeply grateful for the mark she left on my heart.
My condolences to the whole family.
With all my love, Christa.

My heart goes out to Heather’s family her Mom, brother, life partner, and child.
I was so so sorry to hear of her passing just only today a year later.
Heather and I knew each other from growing up in the same neighbourhood as pre-teens/teenagers. She was such a sweet and beautiful girl who was taken far too soon.
