Condolence: In March 2012 I met a woman named Heather who, on first impression, I thought was not well mentally because of the way that she was acting. However, when I was terrified because I didn't know what lay ahead for me and was crying uncontrollably, it was Heather who came to hold my hand and assure me it was going to be okay. She provided me with information and even advised me how to proceed. She had asked me to write down the lyrics to Amazing Grace for her because she didn't know most of the words, so I wrote what I knew for her. She gave me her contact information and asked that I contact her when I could. I called a few times, but the number was disconnected and my email went unanswered. In March of this year, I Googled Heather to see if I could find her, but what I found horrified me - Heather, unfortunately, passed away; according to her obituary, she had lost the battle with her mental health in August 2012. I was sick to my stomach and wanted it to be the wrong Heather, but it wasn't. I found the contact information for her mom, so I called and spoke with her step-father. I was stunned and I'm not sure that I made a lot of sense to him. I wanted to express my remourse for their loss and let them know that I will forever be greatful to Heather for the comfort she provided at a very dark point of my life - she was kind and compassionate when she wasn't battling her own demons. Thank you very much Heather! May you now be in a much more peaceful place Heather.....resting.
Condolence: To the entire Turner family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Heather had a vibrant spirit and a good heart. She had a big smile on her face the entire night the last time I saw her and was happy. That is how I will remember her. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Knute, Kristie & Hana
