Good Bye To Our Best Friend (1978 to 2012)

 

As many of you know my Aunt Heather Brisco (my Dad's youngest sister) returned home to Heavenly Father after a valiant fight with breast cancer Wednesday, She was too young, 34 years old. I am going to list the 20 wonderful things I think about my aunt Heather. (taken from my journal)

1. She loved to play the game Apples to Apples with us.
2. Her smile even when she was sick made me feel warm.
3. She always loved to play games with me.
4. We love the beach
5. We both love sharks
6. She was one of the most kindest and giving aunts.
7. When I turned 7 she drove all the way from California to Utah to come to my birthday party.

8. She came to see me when I won the Olive Garden writing contest meet the Mayor of our town  Huntington Beach.
9. She loved to eat at Coco's.
10. She always had a present for me every time I saw her.
11. She loved board games.
12. She played battleship with me.
13. Every year she would color Easter eggs with me.
14. She loved the movie, The Never Ending Story, and she is a never ending story.
15. She loved to go on the ferris wheel with us at Balboa beach.
16. She came to my Cub Scout pinewood derby and we laughed because she thoaught I was supposed to drive the derby car.
17. She always made hot coco for me.
18. She always bought me crafts to do with her.
19. She taught me how to play Banjo Kazooie.
20. Every Holiday she gave me candy and cards. The one last thing she did before she died even though she was really sick was to buy and wrap up lots of Christmas presents for us, which we will open on Christmas.

We are really sad but know she is at peace. I miss you Heather. I am playing the song I am a child of God on my cello and Ivy my Sister will accompany me on her violin at her funeral Saturday.
