I am so sorry for the family’s loss. I never knew Heather but I am sure she was an amazing young woman. I am a cousin to her grandma Mazie Lacy. I wish I could offer some comforting words but I know at a time like this there just aren’t any. Love and hugs to all.
So very sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to Mazie and family.
Saying I’m deeply sorry for your loss just doesn’t even express the magnitude of hurt I feel for you and your family. I have known Heather more than half of my life and no matter the miles between us at times, I have always loved her like a sister. All of my best teenage memories have Heather in them. I want so much more than anything to be there today, but I myself have a fever and am waiting the results of a covid test. You guys all have my love and support and if there’s ever anything I can ever do please do not hesitate to ask.
I’m am so sorry to hear of Heather’s passing. I remember her as someone who was alway so kind and loyal. I am praying for all of you especially her beautiful daughters. Much love.
I am so very sorry to hear of Heather’s passing! I went to school with her since 7th grade. SHS and PCTC. She always had a great personality and a smile on her face! She was a beautiful person! I have many memories of her. Losing a mother would be the hardest thing in life! I give the greatest sympathy to her daughters! I’m sure Heather loved them dearly! This is shocking and I just heard the news this morning, or else I would have attended the service to say goodbye to an old friend! Fly high Heather!
We are so sorry and sad to learn of Heather’s passing. We know how much she loved her beautiful daughters and we will keep them and your whole family in our prayers.
So sorry to hear of her passing. I remember her being a great person in school. Such a beautiful person. My condolences to the family

Heather & I both worked at rite aid together as teenagers, attended rehabs together, she was a person who I just kept running into through out my life. . She was a caring person. A thoughtful person. & I’ll always think of her fondly. Gone too soon. Love ya girl.
