I met Heather through my fiances family and church, they had known each other for years. Heather is always so patient and kind and always has this gentleness about her. Married to an Army Chaplin and raising two little boys her patience and love amazes me. She is such a wonderful mother, wife and great friend.
One time in particular always sticks out in my mind though when I think of her. I was going through a very rough time a few months ago with my fiance and really wasn't sure what was going to happen. I was worried and exhausted, and was an emotional wreck. I remember waiting in church after service one day and she came to sit by me and started up a conversation. She gave me encouragement and the confidence I needed to go on with my day and to look at things in a little bit brighter perspective. By the end of our conversation she took my hand and she prayed with me. I will never forget that because tears welled up in my eyes and I could feel God speaking through her, telling me that everything was going to be alright. (Typing this I'm getting a little teary eyed. Haha.) It was such a sweet and Godly thing that might not have meant much to some but it meant the world to me, especially on that day. She is such a Godly woman and her family is so so lucky to have her.
