Heather Rosemary Sadler
October 17, 1977 – August 22, 1999

Please don’t ask us if we’re over it yet; we’ll never be over it.
Please don’t tell us she is in a better place; she isn’t here with us.
Please don’t tell us you know how we feel, unless you have lost a child.
Please don’t ask us if we feel better, bereavement isn’t a condition that clears up.
Please don’t tell us at least we had her for 21 years; what year would you choose for your child to die?
Please don’t tell us God doesn’t give us more than we can bear.
Please, just say you are sorry.
Please, just say you remember Heather, if you do.
Please, just let us talk about Heather.
And please mention her name.
Please, just let us cry.

Heather’s broken-hearted family,
Dad, Andy – Mom, Kathy
Brothers Roger, Gary, Bryan, Trevor and Sister Tracy

Heather was killed in a hit and run alcohol-related crash as she stood
at the side of the road with her best friend, who was injured, but survived.
