Heather

Yesterday morning I heard some very sad news that one of my friends from college tragically passed away Monday evening. Apparently she had a seizure while at a Bible study, and they were not able to revive her. It has been completely devastating to so many, especially because it was so unexpected. Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.

In honor of her, I wanted to write a remembrance of the fun times that we had together.

-Freshman year, we lived across the hall from one another. I would spend much of my time in her room, talking about some of the most random things from boys to college majors.
- I loved how she always decorated with palm trees. She would draw pictures with them all the time.
- We are both terrified of tornadoes, so anytime that there was a tornado warning, she would call me and come drive over to my apartment so that we could at least be together during the tornadoes.
- She introduced me to many great restaurants in the Birmingham area. She was always up for some good food.
- She was the best listener that you could find. She is one of only a few people that I know that could listen to you completely without judgement.
- She worked so hard to get through school. I am so proud of her that she finished her time at Samford and had wonderful aspirations of moving to California and becoming a lawyer.
- She made some delicious tacos and spaghetti anytime that we would come visit.
- She and Perry cracked me up the time that I watched them play DDR on New Year's Eve.
- She always had the most random collections of CDs. One second we would listen to techno while the other we would be head banging.
- She got me addicted to watching The O.C. We watched a few episodes at her apartment one time (during tornado time!), and I was hooked. So I bought all of the seasons online.
- She had a family that loved her so much. I could see how close she was to tem, especially with her grandmother and mom. I know that she could share so much with them and was thankful for that.
- I am so thankful for the impact that she has made on my life and countless others. I love you, Heather.
