There are so many things I could say about my best friend, but one thing is for certain she was amazing. I never thought in a million years I would live my life without her in it. We told each other everything. I’m so glad she isn’t suffering anymore but a piece of my heart is literally missing. Heather I will love you til the end of time, I won’t ever stop missing you, and I will watch over your mother and your babies. In my eyes you were the most beautiful woman, and so strong. My memories of you will last a life time just like our friendship, it was everlasting. I will miss you so much and please watch over all of us. I love you Heather Mae. Love your Crazy Casey
