I'm Free Don't grieve for me for I am free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play, Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of the day, If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch, Perhaps my time here seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, he set me free.

Today is our day to honor Heather. Her Dad and I took a long walk this morning and baked a pie this afternoon. So many times Heather would bring rhubarb or strawberries or apples and then tell me I could make her a pie. Well here you go Heather. This one is covered with love and sprinkled with tears. Maybe we'll share it just like you used to do with all your food. Go in peace our beautiful Heather. Until we see you again, may your soul fly free and may God keep you in His tender loving care. Dad and Cindy

The last time I seen you December 18, 2018. So funny, so full of life! The last time I talked to you was at the end of June 2019 - You were going to come to Albuquerque with chuck and haul my motorcycle back to Wisconsin but we could not find the right date soon enough for me to come back-😢 Imiss you baby cousin! I miss seeing what you're cooking, I miss your voice, I miss the memories we shared as our families celebrated the holidays together at Norms Steakhouse growing up! Heather did Heather and Heather survived many storms- Heather was very happy finding Chuck after 23 yrs- I wish you both had more time together! Heather was the proudest mom and loved her children more than anything! I miss you-

So Heather, I am going to really need your help down here. Steve and I planted two flowers in remembrance of you today. Hayden said you liked cala Lily's and Chuck said Amaryllises. Just so happens I have a Lily and an Amaryllis! I'm not much of a green thumb so I need your help to ensure these blossom into the beautiful flowers they deserve to be. You have the green thumb so send me a little help please. Thinking about you and living you today and always. Love you forever

Thinking about you today. I bought some dahlia bulbs last weekend at Costco. You would have loved them. I can hear your voice now. Bugging me about planning a weekend to get them planted in April and when you can bring some more plants over. I wish we had one more summer together. You and I always had so much fun in the summer months together. With you bringing over all your canned items. I miss you so much.
