Heather touched the hearts and souls of so many. Not only was she an amazing woman, but a fantastic author of Christian novels that many have enjoyed and will continue to do so for many years. One of the best gifts I ever received, besides being able to count her as a friend, was given to me by one of her nephews, John; an autographed copy of "Avenger". Just like Heather was thoughtful and kind, John is a very thoughtful and caring young man. His gift brough tears to my eyes because he remembered how much I loved Heather's work. His friendship brought Heather into my life. I am the richer for having known her. Her husband is also a friend, and my heart goes out to he and Heather's entire family. God bless them all.

To the family and friend of Heather Burch: I met Heather at a Writer's Guild meeting after a presentation (and bought her book). It's always been a wonderful guide for my writing style. She was so kind and encouraging, and I want you to know that I will certainly treasure her work more now that I know of her passing. May you be comforted and surrounded by love in your time of sorrow, but please know what a shining light she was, even though we are strangers.
