Heather's spirit was resilient and her love, loyal. Her heart sung a song all on it's own that lucky few truly heard. She will be missed more than any words from any language can express.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, Aug. 21, 2020, 10 a.m., at New Grace Christian Church, 10821 Totem Rd., Anchorage, AK 99516. Following the service all are welcome to head to Waikiki beach at Kenai Lake for camping and a celebration of life over the weekend.
