Described as funny and witty, Heather was a shining light in the lives of those who knew her. She played a pivotal role in keeping their family together and made a lasting impact on everyone she met.
During the gathering, attendees signed a petition urging prosecutors to seek the harshest charges against Christopher Braziel, the individual charged in Smith’s death. They emphasized the importance of community safety and unity in times of tragedy.
