This says it better than I ever could. I did not know her, but I know that she taught Chabrise during "band camp" while we lived in PG. She had quite the effect on her students. And from the stories that have come out, was quite a remarkable person. I wish I would have known her. I wish I could be like her. But most of all I send her family and friends my deepest sympathies and heartfelt love.
In Memory of Heather Christensen
by her nephew, Nathan Higginson, as read at her funeral:
Amazing people come and go but why must she be one?
The answer is she's needed by our Father and his Son.
She still lives on in all of us, her spirit and her fire.
To live with her eternal family was her one and only desire.
Let's help her reach her goal and live life as we should,
And begin to do as Heather did Àú nothing but good.
She lived a life of service, so angelic, pure and strong,
Never did you find her doing anything in the wrong.
As a person, a friend and nephew, what more could I need?
To live my life as she did, I pray I can, I plead.
The love she had for everyone, so endless and so much,
She had something about her, you could feel with just a touch.
She's now somewhere better, an eternal companion she'll find,
But her friends and her family Àú so much she left behind.
We'll remember her as selfless, an angel in and out.
She's walking now in heaven, with that I have no doubt.
Our care for you is endless, our hearts are full of love.
Please stay with us and guide us, and watch us from above.
