Praying for everyone that had the honor of meeting Ms. Heard!!! I met her through working in the RMS concession stand!!! She would walk up and order what she wanted and then say with the biggest smile, "y'all don't have no Dr. Pepper!" We would just laugh at her. She already knew the response!!! I will forever remember that contagious smile!!! Rest in Heaven! I know you got your Dr. Pepper!! Be strong family and keep her memory alive. She touched so many lives!!! Paula Watkins RMS💙🧡

There are so many things I could say about this AMAZING woman. The most heartfelt moments that I will cherish forever were those long talks we had on the highway as I drove to help care for my mom, week after week. Then when I returned to school and I shared my feelings and cried, we cried together. She didn't have to care but she did and I will forever love her for that. I know when she got to heaven the Lord said "Good Job my servant". Rest in Heaven.

Mrs Sharon, you will never be forgotten. I thank you for your friendship. I thank you for letting me share important moments in your life. But most of Mrs Sharon I thank you for showing me how to go through with Strength, Courage and Faith in Knowing that God is Able. You represented God well Mrs Sharon thank you for your light that will forever shine in my heart! I love you and will see you later. I know you are in Heaven got the people laughing. And you probably have a step team formed by now! Keep stepping Mrs Sharon for the Lord💜

Mrs. Heard I will forever cherish our memories and good times we had in the clinic. From the moment I met you, you warmed up to me and treated me like family. We laughed and cried during your visits here, but it was ALWAYS a GOOD time. You would send me daily messages on FB messenger until you asked for my number to send the invite for your retirement party that you were OH So Excited about!! You even brought me gifts on your last treatment day because I was going out on maternity and instantly video chatted me once you found out i had given birth. I will NEVER forget the mark you made and the relationship we formed. Rest In Love 💜💜💜

Momma, you will forever be missed. My forever best friend and everything. Until the very end of time you wanted more life because you cared that much for family and other's. I'm forever grateful for you and the life you lived. You cherished every moment in life with excitement, energy, and Godly strength. Even in your last days you kept us smiling and laughing. What am I going to do without your everyday, all day calls and your good night text messages every night. You would call me so much until I would just tell others that was around, "you were my personal stalker". If anything wish to happen to me, you would always have been the first to know. If I didn't answer, you would keep calling until I did no matter what I was in the middle of doing. When you get me on the phone you would say, "what are you doing that's more important than your mother?" Or "Why haven't you called your mother yet today?" And it would only be 8-9am in the morning 😂 I'm sure by now you have so much to share with me about your new days in your new home. Rest Well momma, you are now in your best days of eternal life. 💜💜💜

Memaw I'm so so grateful for you. I remember everyday of elementary you got us burgers from McDonald's and we all split the fries. And on Friday if we were good in school we got wings! I'll miss the random shopping sprees and going grocery shopping in your house because you always got whatever we liked and barely what you liked. I'll miss going to get you a baked potato from Wendy's. I'll miss your kisses on my cheek. I'll miss you calling my phone every second of the day just to see what I was doing. I'll miss hearing you burp after every time you drunk a Dr. Pepper, boy them was some stanky burps . I'll miss when I slept over and you talking on the phone would wake me up every money, there wasn't a need for an alarm. I'll miss you taking us out of town. You were the first person that took me to New York and till this day I brag to people about how my memaw took me there. I'll miss your goodnight texts with every emoji in the book. I'll miss riding around in your car burning up with no gas. I'll miss you bringing me random lunch during virtual school. I wish you got to see my dorm in person but I know you can see it vividly now. I'm so grateful I made it back home in time to hold your hand one last time. Thank you thank you memaw for holding on till I got to you. I love you I love you so much and I miss you -your bestfriend lil ashleigh
