I had a last chance to call to see how you were doing, to stop by, to see the baby, to do more than say we’d get together again soon; it passed and I didn’t know it until I got the phone call today. I keep going through my hard drive. Searching.
I know there was a picture of you happy, smiling with your baby girl. I can’t find it, I know I didn’t take it long ago. I remember meaning to e-mail it, so you could see yourself as I see you. I didn’t know it’d be the last.

I wish knowing that could heal the hearts of those that knew her, but I know that’s not enough… It’s just so hard to believe.
((Heather)) I am not sure what is going on, but I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for writting this. I hope River did not have to suffer. I can’t bear the thought of it.
(((Heather))) – I take it that you knew the Mom and the baby – I am so sorry…. it’s an incredibly sad story.
Is this something local. Is it in the paper. You bolg was touching.
How are you holding up? let me know if you need anything.
[...] of the strongest ones I’ve seen in a long time. The backstory is over there, but I just want Heather to know that after meeting her and seeing what a lovely soul she is that there are many of us who [...]
I am so so sorry. I came over from Ivy’s post.
My heart is reeling for everyone touched by the loss of your friend and her baby.
Heather, I am so sorry to hear this. I came over from Newscoma’s post as I have been MIA from the blogosphere for a while.
