Honoring Heather: Help with Funeral Costs

On May 6th, we lost our mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, Heather. She was strong, loving, and fiercely protective of her family. Heather’s life wasn’t easy, but she faced every challenge with grit and grace.

She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 15, and over the years endured multiple heart attacks and ultimately the loss of her leg. Despite her health battles, she never lost her sense of humor, her love for others, or her ability to make people feel safe and seen.

Heather’s daughters, Bailey and Madeline, just graduated college and are now suddenly facing the overwhelming emotional and financial burden of planning a funeral. They weren’t prepared for this, and no one ever truly is.

We’re reaching out to our extended community to ask for help. Any contribution—no matter how small—will go directly toward covering funeral expenses and giving Heather the farewell she deserves.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this incredibly difficult time.
