Always laughing and having fun that's how I will remember you. Such a bright light and loved by many I will see you again some day with love Dorothy
Heidi's Houston Texans are Playoff bound!
Heidi's absolute favorite player was Deandre Hopkins but she loved them all and referred to them by nickname, even Coach O'Brien who she called O-B. We would laugh when she called Brian Cushing, "Cushings", guess she thought it sounded better.
I had not watched the Pros in years as I was tired of the bad stories I heard. Heidi asked me questions about the players and I started researching for her. I was pleasantly surprised how many good stories I was coming across. So off we went to Glory Days to watch her team. We had planned to see them in Texas with a friend of ours in Houston but had to call it off when Heidi 1st got sick. I know Heidi would be proud of them winning their Division again though I'm sure she's saying "Throw Hoppy the ball more!"

Merry Christmas Baby. Instead of your "Big Stocking" this year we will help Calebs family. I felt you telling me. I know you would have told us to do that anyway.
We'll have a Blue Christmas without you...


Heidi was always so happy. I remember spending all summer at the house and always feeling like I was at home. I never wanted to leave. She always made you feel comfortable no matter what. She had a gift of making people laugh, you couldn't help but to be happy. She will truly be missed. She was an amazing women. I am grateful for everything she has done for me and my family and for always being there. I love you Heidi....till we meet again...please keep an eye on my dad up there
I am thinking of one of the First Night for New Years in Alexandria where we we going around and picturing Heidi being so excited going from venue to venue but really cracked up over Mike the Magic kinda guy. She took such delight in each event. Sending hugs to you all tonight.Aunt Carolyn
