Cherished daughter, sister, granddaughter, auntie and friend. We will miss your beautiful smile, warm hug, kind heart and wicked sense of humor. Life too short. Adult at 27 years, but still a child inside. Beautiful inside and out. Hard to get to know, but well worth the effort. At her best with family, playing with her nephews. Fully experienced the yin and yang of life and savored the happy, peaceful moments. May she find peace and serenity forever more. Heather, we love you and miss you so much. You will live in our hearts forever. Eeeeeeeeeee! Celebration of life at Horan & McConaty Family Chapel, 5303 East County Line Road, Centennial, Colorado.
