So sad to hear of an old friends passing.  She was an acquaintance in high school and we grew to be great friends at TAPP when we were both pregnant as teens.  I will always cherish her kindness at a time when I needed it most.. she was one of a kind.   I’ll never forget you Heather.. I will see u in paradise.... Kayla B

Heather was like a second mom to me growing up.  She had a natural gift at nurturing, compassion and always made me feel apart of the family.  She was always a good listener and their home always felt like a place of safety and love.  She was always giving and selfless.   Family was very important to her.  Most of all she Loved the Lord .  She poured so much into our lives and you can see the seeds she has sown.  She impacted so many children, families and parents.  She truly was the hands and feet of Jesus.   

Heather,
Thank you for all the support and advice you have given my family and I as we travel through the foster parent process.  You were a light of love and strength.  To your family I hope they know how many lives you touched besides there own and that helps give them a sense of calm.  Prayers to the Friedline Family as you grieve the loss of a wonderful soul.

I am so very sorry for your loss.  Heather was always so gracious and welcoming whenever I saw her. She was encouraging and supportive of Jennifer as Jennifer and I worked together and she seemed to have a quiet and calming strength about her as she cared for her family.  I am sure she will be deeply missed.

Heather...how many countless  imprints this precious & powerful woman left upon the hearts of countless lives... 
including mine. Beautifully loving, gentle of heart, and strong of spirit ; Heather & her devoted husband, Ron, shared a deep, unwavering love for one another. How I thank God for their extraordinary example in so many ways to so many, 

of what it means to have a rich & rewarding & blest life together, even in the midst of life- challenges.

    Together, in mutually shared  confidence in the Lord, Heather & Ron dedicated themselves to loving, teaching, growing, nurturing, & caring for their children ( now grown)

their grandchildren. Plus,  many foster children, who were blest to be in their homes for a season, but remained in their love & prayers far beyond. But Heather's love spread to so many more than my tribute could ever express. I will forever be grateful to God for the treasure of sharing such a  loving, close like family, friendship with  Heather.

Heather, you are now in the glories of Heaven;  but your legacy is still alive & flourishing through those many lives you loved in word, deed, & prayer.

My most recent memory is one from a time when Heather and I saw each other again after not seeing one another for many years.  We picked up right where we left off, talking about the Lord and our families. Together we prayed for our children and rejoiced in knowing the Father heard our hearts.  Although I didn't see Heather often, my memories of her are fond ones. I will remember her kindness, compassion and loving soul.  Love to her family at this difficult time. 

Deepest sympathy to Heather’s family. I visited Heather and Ron’s home on several occasions as they provided foster care for several children through child welfare services. Heather was one of my favorites and there was never any concern about her caring for the little ones as she was so loving, kind and dedicated in her fostering role. She certainly had a deep faith in God and I am certain that there is a special place in heaven for her. She was such a beautiful woman; may she Rest In Peace.  Nancy K. Kinley, LCSW

She was such a light of love. In her smile, laughter, hugs and just any way she would show how much she cared. She was a living and breathing example of what Jesus's unconditional love looks like. She will forever be in our hearts and always remembered. She is watching over us and taking good care of those heavenly children. Love, David Jacie and Josiah Beebe.
