I'll always think of you a little more on this day. Your birthday has been one of my best days as well as one that terrified me. 2 years ago today is when you broke your arm. Who would have thought a tragic accident like that would make me love you even more. It happened literally right in front of me and there was nothing I could do but watch. But I got to put everything on hold for the next few months and be by your side 24/7 literally did everything for you. Thank you for being vulnerable, and trusting me you taught me so much baby about love and about myself. 

Happy birthday my love, nothing is the same without you here. But know today is YOUR day and it will always be just that YOUR day. I love and miss you so much baby. Happiest of birthdays keep dancing with the angels.... Sorry for posting the video I know you will be mad because your hair and makeup aren't done but hey whatcha gonna do baby? LOVE YOU

Heather, I still can't believe you're gone. I cry everyday, I love you and I miss you so much. I wish I could understand why  this has happened again. You were my best friend you were my favorite sister. I loved all the time so we got to spend together especially being here in Arizona we sure did get close.  And had a lot of fun together especially with all of our dogs. And you sure did learn how to clean I loved when you came to work with me. I'll miss everything about you it sucks we didn't get to the things we talked about doing like skydiving and getting our tattoo. I still plan on getting our tattoo it will just be in memory of you. I love you and will think about  you always.

Always and forever 

Your sister.

I don’t remember the exact day I met Heather, but I do remember the circumstances. I used to live downstairs from Heathers sister, Megan. We were all like our own little hot mess of a family in that condominium complex lol, but we loved each other and all our kids hung out together. When I had met Heather at Megan’s place, I couldn’t help but laugh 😂 You could definitely see the family resemblance between all three of the sisters, Sara, Megan, and Heather. Even tho Sara and Megs were identical twins (and I mean IDENTICAL), you seem to forget that Heather was their older sister, once you throw all three in a room together they look like triplets! However, their personalities differed greatly. As we all know, Megan was the tough one and she wasn’t shy about it. I could here her speaking all the way downstairs, she wouldn’t even be yelling, just talking about whatever. She was so eccentric and I would literally get dizzy watching her because she could never sit still, she always had to be doing something. (Poster child for A.D.H.D.) (love ya Megs!🤣) 

Sara was the ‘mother’ of the pack. She was a planner, the organized one, the workaholic, the analytical one. She is the one you go to for real practical advice and boy did she voice her opinion  to the pack, lol. Not that they ever listened 🤣

When I met Heather, I saw someone different. She seemed to genuinely where her heart on her sleeve.  she had this ability to take in other peoples feelings and emotions, kind of like a sponge. I can’t imagine the flood of emotions that flooded her on the daily. She loved and she loved fiercely. 

I don’t know why I said all that, I just came here to tell a story of Heather when she broke her wrist, lol. I still remember Heather walking into Megan’s with her little wrist cast and crying. She showed everyone her arm and just cried and kept saying “I’m broken, I’m broken” 😞 I can still see her in her Broncos Jersey and her jean shorts and pristinely white sneakers looking all adorable as always and making sure everybody gave her hug.. she sure did love giving hugs 🤗   She was fearfully and wonderfully made, she was a true blessing to everyone who had the honor to meet her. Now she is free, to never be broken again, made whole in Jesus.

Heather, Thank you for the fun times, the BBQ’s, and for truly loving every body you came in contact with. You are already very missed. The hardest part of this all is the separation of three sisters. But I trust that you and Megs are still with Sara and that bond can never be broken. 

And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.  (Ecclesiastes 4:12) 

Heather, Megan and Sara, you will always and forever be that threefold cord. 

The world lost a part of its splendor when you left us.. 

When Debbie called and told me the bad news, I was totally suprised.  Heather was my step granddaughter.Her grandfather was Jack Hackett, my husband.  Our daughter Jennifer was  3 month older then Heather. They were very close.  When we traveled, Heather alway s went with us.  They saw many places and did many things.  When they got older, they went their separate ways, but I always remember Heather as a sweet and caring child.  I will miss her, but I have many good memories.  Jo Anne Hackett, Denver, Colorado

My sincere condolences to Phil and Heathers family and friends. My thoughts and prayers with everyone during this tough tragic loss and time of grief.  

Heather was such a sweet, funny, caring person who would give you the shirt off her back! She was always so welcoming to me and my family when we were around. The kids would always ask to go play at her house because they have a saucer swing, bubble blower and trampoline in the back yard. I’ll never forget the day my son Aidan was locked out of the house Phil Bryan and her told Aidan come over to their house, they made sure he was safe, cool and they fed him dinner. They even let him sit in the massager chair which my son fell in love with. She was the perfect neighbor who would look out for others! 

She will definitely be missed, I’m so glad I had the pleasure of knowing her even if it was for a short time! RIP Heather, you’re now an Angel watching over us all! Fly high beautiful Angel Heather! 

Phil I know I’ve already told you and I just want to remind you, we are here for you if you need anything & again please let us know and we’d love to bring dinner by someday. We want to be sure you’re taking care of yourself! I can’t even imagine the pain but I know it’s gotta be hard! Wish there was something we could do or say to take the pain away! Again just know we are here for you!  She was a wonderful woman and you were lucky to have her! All our love from your neighbors: Carmen, Drew, Aidan, Colette, Parker & Penelope
