Heather and I would text back and forth. We always ended our texts with a heart and a butterfly. I send my love, prayers and support to Tom,Holly and Julia. You were always so loving with Heather. I believe Heather could never have found a more wonderful family.To Joyce and her family, I envied the closeness you all shared.Your memories will have to console us until we see Heather again. I found a poem that made me think of Heather saying these words. I hope you will agree. It speaks to Heather’s joy and humor. Believing this words, they give me peace in the knowledge she will be with us again. Heather was my sunshine.

I’VE A DATE WITH A BUTTERFLY

I’LL BE SINGING IN THE SUNSHINE,
WILD AND FREE

I met Heather in 1997 when I transferred to Florida. My first week in the office I couldn't help but notice this beautiful young woman with a smile larger than life. Heather had her hands full, she had her beautiful baby girl, Holly, with her. I approached and asked if I could give her a hand. From that moment on we bceame fast friends.
Heather told me where I could get the best slice of pizza in Pinellas County, the best Italian restaurant for a night out, and the best beach spots.
Over the years we attended Rays games, Bucs games, went to concerts, hung out at the Round Up, attended Chastco Fiesta, had countless pool parties, and celebrated many birthdays. Heather and Tom were the perfect combination, a pure innocent sweetness and a jokester. I didn't think it was possible for someone to have such a huge heart, but Heather's got larger when Julia arrived. Life happened and we drifted apart, but my feelings never changed and I'm so happy we re-connected. I wasn't surprised when I read Heather's final notes, my selfless friend did not let this terrible diesease bitter her.
I will truly miss my wonderful, brave, beautiful friend and feel so blessed to have known her. Tom, Heather Julia, Joyce, Howard, John and Judi, you are in my prayers.
Sincerely, Christine Brogan
