"Whenever I saw Heather, I thought of one of my cousins whom she looked a lot alike. She was such a beautiful girl who turned into a beautiful young woman but that was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to Heathers qualities. To me one of her best qualities was her hilarious sense of humor. Always cracking jokes and making everyone around her laugh. But Heather had so many beautiful qualities... compassionate, loyal, love of animals, and some killer brains! My prayers go to Heathers family. To give them peace and comfort when they think of their precious daughter knowing she is rejoicing with her Heavenly Father and they will be reunited with her again."

"Heather was the sweetest person I have ever met. Her warmth and caring spread out around her like a giant spot light. You couldn\'t help smiling when Heather was around. She, herself was quite the gigglebox. You will be missed sweetie! Say Hi to Jesus for me. See you soon.... Tons of prayers are going up for you Bain Family."
