    "I remember talking Heidi outside to play in the snow in Stewartville. I remember in byron chris and dan left Heidi with us and we were trying to get Heidi to sleep and she faked us out. We asked her how old she was and she didn't answer us and we thought we had done it. We were congratulating ourselves when Heidi said "I'm two!"

    "My first "memory" isn't my own since I was just a baby, but it's been told so many times I now tell it as my own. Apparently when I was born I got all the attention, so one time when someone brought Heidi a present she asked surprised "for me? not for Hedder?" so sweet... I don't really have any specific memories of Heidi, just feelings of the times we spent together growing up. I remember her love of animals, especially horses and dogs. I remember playing games and going to the pool, spending time talking about things that cousins who are close together in age talk about. I remember that she didn't have a mean bone in her body. I don't remember specifically any fights with her, but I'm sure that any we had were all my fault. She was one of the most loving people that I've had the joy of knowing and I'm heartbroken she's been taken from us in this abrupt way."

    "I have a lot of memories of talking to Heidi on the phone- she used to call pretty regularly a few years ago . She always ended calls by saying " I love you." Not " Luv ya"-- but specifically, "I. Love. You." I always noticed that. "
