Heather Martin Obituary

"I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD." - 1 Samuel 1:27-28

[i pray you may find some comfort in this] Sincerely, Diane Vehorn

Dear Kylie, Lisa, and Chip...
My heart aches for each of you at this time. I loved Heather and will carry in my heart fond memories of Stallsville Weekday School, rides on the bus/van to Summerville Elementary School. What about the numerous field trips during those summer months?? So much fun! Girl Scout cookies, Chuck E. Cheese (Heather didn't like him and chose to eat her pizza UNDER the table). Santa Claus and Heather at age 3: "I don't want him to come to my house because I am NOT gonna sit on his lap!" :) I could go on and on, as these memories have been flooding back to my mind. I will always remember Heather and continue to think of her as one of "my girls" God so richly blessed me with.

May the love of God comfort you at this time. Love you all.

Heather was a sweet girl who always had a smile and a story. We'll remember the girl scout trips, sleepovers, her caring way with people, and her love for animals. Heather touched many lives in her 17 years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the Martin Family at this difficult time. May god provide you strength,love and understanding in your times of need.

Chip, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this bleak time. I cannot even begin to know what you all must be feeling but we will be praying for comfort and guidance for you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am so saddened to have heard the news of Heather's passing. I remember her as a sweet, sweet, girl at Pinewood with an infectious shy smile. What a tragic loss for all of those who knew and loved her. My heart bleeds for you.

Amber Sharkey (former substitute teacher)

My thoughts and prayers go out to Heathers family and friends in this time of sorrow. She will be greatly missed but always remembered.

I didn't know Heather very well but what I did know of her is that she was a wonderful and caring girl. Her and I were lab partners in Biology last year and when I heard the news I was so shocked. I'll always remember the conversations and laughs we shared last year. Your family are in my prayers.

When Bre told me the news, my heart broke. I will remember Heather from all the birthday parties, sleepovers, and get togethers that she and Bre had over the years. Happy times. Your family will be in our prayers and may God be with you during this time.

Our heartfelt sympathies are extended to your family, although we have never met. We attend St. Paul's Episcopal Church just having moved here from Williamsburg, VA. Our daughter, also 17, passed away 6 months ago, Nov. 17th, and her charity was the local Humane Society. Perhaps we will speak later at St. Paul's. May God bless you and give you peace.

My daughter sat next to Heather in her history class this year. She spoke well of her and remarked how she shared candy canes with the class . She sounded like a sweet girl. We are all saddened by your loss. You have our deepest sympathies.

The loss of a child/sister is devastating. Beautiful memories of our loved ones carry us through times like these. She will always be in your hearts, you have a very special guardian angel watching over you.

Please except my prayers for your family and friends. God's peace....
