To Heather’s Family,
My heart goes out to each of you. She will be missed even by those of us who’s lives she influenced years ago. Heather worked in the kitchen at Bluestem Grade School.
What I remember is that Heather treated everyone with respect and kindness, child or adult, wether in her circle of friends or not. Heather is a true example of walking out her faith in Jesus and showing it to others. Thank you for sharing her with us.
One memory I’d like to share, Her home was always open to Derrick and his high school friends to hang out. I knew the boys were in a safe environment.
Thank you Heather.
Peace,
Bobbie Suttle
Our hearts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Wishing you comfort and peace in the days ahead.
