I knew Heather through church at Bethesda as well as Riverside Lutheran Bible Camp. We travelled to Tanazania together and had the best time!

Heather was an amazing woman who had a positive impact in my life. I can honestly that some of the best memories in my life included Heather.

My deepest condolences to her husband and family. Nothing prepares you for this pain and grief. Words are not enough, but please know Heather made the world a better place.

CandleHeather's father Dave was our rep for a number of years. He spoke often of the struggles Heather was having to endure. There is nothing harder than to watch your child suffer with an illness. There is not a more helpless feeling than having to watch your child suffer and die. There are no words to help console a parent in this most terrible of times. You are a good man, God bless you and your family. You are in our prayers.

Heather always provided a smile and compassion to our families, often serving kids with the greatest needs. Heather was a great part of our team. We will miss her - to her family we share prayers for peace and comfort.

CandleMy deepest sympathy to Heather's husband,Wesley, her parents, Dave and Sharon, and sister Kim. Heather always had an engaging smile and a true zest for life. I remember her well from her years as a student at Ames Middle School and also occasional visits with grandparents Don and Marge when I was at South Hamilton. I will cherish the memories of this special person.

Heather was such a delightful, fun-loving counselor at Riverside Lutheran Bible Camp in 2009. She blessed so many kids as well as the staff. So thankful Heather knew and loved the Lord. She is now dancing in heaven.
Our prayers are with all of you. May God hold you close and comfort you.
