| I met Heather as a beautiful and charming toddler, and watched her grow into an accomplished young woman. I didn’t get to see her often after we moved away from Syracuse, but I followed her progress through school and dance in conversations with Frieda. She gave so much to this world and it’s obvious how many people loved her and miss her. I hope that every day brings a new joyful memory, and that time and God will heal the grief. With much love, Chris |

| Dear Frieda and family...My heart goes out to all of you. Colon cancer is such a vicious, ugly and aggressive predator and after reading Heather’s blogs, she fought it with such grace. I can’t imagine what it feels like to have lost a child. I hope that all of your memories turn the tears to smiles as you begin your healing journey. I loved watching Heather perform - such talent! Thank you for sharing her with all of us. My prayers for you and Heather will continue. -maria |

| I never knew Heather,but my best & dearest friend had the pleasure of knowing her. You see..I never would have known about Heather if my sister wasn’t diognosed with stage 4 colon cancer a little over a year ago. I had told my friend Linda Kurz about it...she is my long distance crying shoulder. I will say I feel soooo deeply for all of you because I am there now with my sister. She is in hospice now as she felt like a burden on my family. I am hoping to get to Virginia before the Good Lord takes her home,but that is very iffy right now. I do know that I no longer want to see her suffer.I am asking for your prayers...your daughter has been in mine since Linda told me about her. Wish I knew her. Maybe someday I will get to see her in heaven. To all of you may God bless you & see you through. Thank you very much for letting me write you. Take care & God bless.Mrs. Hope Barrett |

Heather was adorable and I enjoyed working with her on her placement at OCRF. They loved her just the way we here at Advantage did. When I would call over she would always greet me with the most joyous voice.
Enjoyed her exuberance for life! She will be so missed!

| Freida and Gary, My heart and prayers go out to you as you begin to heal from the loss of your darling daughter. As a student in my first year as principal at CCE, I remember mom and daughter as a team, focused, loving and appreciative of both talents and opportunities. Her smiled brightened many a day for me, my staff and her classmates. Freida’s laughter was complimented by Heather’s smiles -- it was a blessing to know her and you, and knowing the intensity of her personality, I imagine she confronted this horrible disease with grace. Take good care, and heal in your time. Maureen |

Gary,
I had no idea about your great difficulties. I can’t even imagine. I am so sorry and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I can only hope that somehow that helps you get through. |

| I just wanted to write and say how sorry i am for your loss. Heather and I lived/worked together at Cortland Rep in 2004 and had been in and out of touch since then. Of all of the wonderful memories I have of her and all the great times we all had that summer, I remember her smile and laughter the most. I will remember her always. My thoughts and my prayers are with her family, her friends, and Jesse. God Bless You. |
