Anita, Mr. and Mrs. Barnett and the girls

I am sorry I can't come Friday to celebrate Heath's life, as I am unable to miss work.

I regret not reaching out to Heath here at the end. I didn't know his health was this bad. I would see things on Facebook knowing he was sick, but always thinking I would have more time later to catch up with him. At the last reunion he was fine.

Some of the best memories of Heath were just goofing with him behind the Bi County when we would go up to buy seeds or chemicals growing up. I always remember him with a smile on his face or laughing at something.

I will remember him fondly.
