Happy 21st Birthday! / TINA HASSLER (SISTER)
Heath This is the date I was waiting for years, but just not quite this way. I couldn't wait for you to turn 21. Not because of drinking, but because of going out with you and Shawn. You always loved music and fun. We are having "daiquri night" tonight for you. All the times you went away with Shawn & I you always had virgin daiquri's and just like me, you sucked them right down! I can hear you with your famous "m-mm" after tasting them. I still have lot's of hurt inside of me. It's changing, but when it hurts, it really, really hurts that you are not here. It is full moon right now, and when I walked this morning, it was still dark outside, but just this one section was really lit up uniquely (moon behind a serious of clouds). I hope that was the disco lights for your all night party! In heaven you don't have to worry about DUI, and feeling ill..so you had better party and dance like you did to DDR! Your rocked and I was so impressed with what you were able to do, you had really come out of a shell. You may not be here physically for your party tonight, but you will be present in everyone's mind. I really miss you buddy, today was to be a milestone not just in your life but mine too. Cancer robbed us all of this. I love you and miss this moment greatly. I look forward to alot of catching up someday. It is my understanding that you do not age in heaven, so I know I will someday see that hunk of a guy you had grown to be. See you again someday, love sis Close
Heath, this one is for you, Honey! Everyone looks forward to the day when you turn 21. We did too, but it is different now. I know you are with the Angels having a Heavenly party, and we down here will have a somber party, thinking of the what if's again. It's like that is what our lives are all about anymore. What if Heath this and what if Heath that. For as special as turning 21 is, you were just as special to me and more than that. You were the Son, that I had... to love and grow with, to celebrate all occasions, not to have it all end when you were 18. I will cherish all the celebrations we had together and hold them close to my heart. If I had one wish today, it would be to hold you and hug you once more and tell you how much I loved you, take us back when things were great and so special and we had a future. Although your in Heaven, my love for you is the same it always was...endless! Heath, have a wonderful birthday and know that I will be thinking of you! I Love You and Miss You! Love, Mom

In My Thoughts & Prayers / Dianne Gow (Mom to Angel Erika Ariza )
Dearest Cindy.... I just wanted to thank you so much for your heartfelt kindness. Lighting a candle on my daughter, Erika's, memorial site was so very thoughtful of you. It was appreciated more than you'll ever know.
Heath and Erika's dates .... birth and passing .... are so close (similar) to one another. Does it seem kind of strange to you? What I mean is .... have you asked yourself or even thought about what the odds might be that you would ever come across another mother who gave birth to and lost a child within days of when you did? Am I making any sense? I've wondered about it alot. It has to be a God thing. It's the only thing that makes any sense to me.
I've been struggling the last few days with Erika's birthday coming up. And if that weren't enough, her birthday falls on Easter this year. And when I saw the candle that you lit for her I immediately thought about today's date and how hard it must be for you too.
As strange as this sounds, I don't know what to say to you to comfort you and that in itself, for me, is such an awkward feeling. Actually, now that I think about it, the reason I don't know what to say is because for me (from my own personal experience) there are no words in the entire English language that are able to comfort me when I feel like I do.
I will keep you, your family, and Heath in my prayers. If you need someone to talk to that not only knows how you feel but is more than likely feeling much of the same way that you're feeling (at least this week anyway) I'm here ok.

Hey Heath,
It's about ten of three a.m., and i was just thinking about how day in and day out we would sit down to a uno or phase 10 game. I will never forget the time we played uno till 5a.m. when Bob had to get up for work . I have one question for you, "Did you hear what happened to Harrison Ford?" (Inside joke for the four of us at the West Reading Diner). I wish you were still here so that we could have these games from time to time. I miss you man.

" Happy New Year 2007!" / Cindy Hassler (mother)
Hi Heath! Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful party. We went out to eat and came home and worked on your calendar on New Year's Eve. Had dinner at home and took some down to pappy's and finished your calendar. It is nice... it is the 2nd year of your life. Another year, wow! Another year of sadness and anger because you are not here with us. Who feels like celebrating? I look forward to your signs Heath, so please keep sending them. ok? I really don't see this year much different than the last 2 but we keep moving on and remembering. You would have been out with friends and I would worry about you driving home and I thought that was bad, huh, I wish I could have those worries, that's alot better then this! Just think...this year you will be the BIG "21." Another milestone in your life missed out on. STINKS!!!!! Well the uglyness is coming, so I will give you a big hug and kiss and say Good Night! Know that I love you and miss you and you are always in my heart and on my mind. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo and many more! Love, Mom
Happy Holidays Heath, Christmas day has come and gone and yada, yada, yada tis the season. This year was tough. Christmas is always stressfull and emotional, and when we physically lost you it changed everything. Not only has it been tough, but emotions have become so dramatic. This year has been the toughest yet for me. Why? I don't know. The other 2 were sad, but you go through the motions. Maybe because I expected them to be bad and now you would just it expect it to get easier, but it slapped me tough this year. I have alot of bitterness this year. It is great because of Olivia, but that is what really sucks. Your laughter is so missed. You would be having a great time and laugh @ her. So now it is not just me missing you and being angry of now we are missing the moments of what would have been. And then I come accross people who are just careless with there lives and I don't want to go into detail and it just pisses me off, because they know you and how you worked like hell to live a good life and they are just jerks and this makes me resent them. Everyone should be like you or have had someone like you in there life. Shawn & I got Miami Dolphins Pants and he got a hat too! Were are still Eagle fans but we have a connections to the Dolphins now too because of you! I know this was negative this year, but it was a depressing year without you. I miss you deeply Sis
Merry Christmas! 2006 / Cindy Hassler (Loving Mother )
Hi Honey! Well Christmas is here and almost over. Needless to say it is just not the same. We went to your tree and then up to Sis. Little Olivia was so excited when we got there. Our cake had a picture of you and santa, Olivia and santa, and sis. You were all around the same age, 18-24 months. The placemats were the same and sis invited you to dinner again, like she always does. Then we went down to pappy's. He seems alittle depressed too because of loosing nana. The holidays are not the same when you loose someone special, especially your child. There was no one that enjoyed Christmas more then you did. Yeah, I know you were spoiled and always got so much stuff, but you were a good kid and you deserved it. We hung your Dolphin ball on the tree and did your 2006 Angel for your tree. We go through all the motions and nothing makes it right. I would do anything to go out and spent hundreds of dollars on you...just to see your excitement and joy and just to have you here. Heath, you can't imagine the hurt that goes with all of this, all the time, everyday, every minute. I guess if you are watching over us, then you can see for yourself. I miss you so much and that will never stop! I still can't believe God took you, but he did and I am trying to deal the best I can. I know you are with me and that helps, but far from making it right. Just know I do Love you and miss you and you are always in my thoughts and on my mind. I look forward to the day when we are together! Merry Christmas Honey! Love, Mom Close
Missing You! / Cindy Hassler (mother)
Hi Honey, We had your 2nd Memorial Service and it was beautiful again, like you. It seems so hard to believe that it is a memorial service for you, my son. It's also very Hard to except and realize that it is true and for real. Unfortunately, the sad part is, it is true and I do have to except it. Heath, I will do my best to keep your memory alive and let everyone know how beautiful you were and all the wonderful qualities you had. I got the tattoo and it is so perfect...it looks just like you, and it is on my heart! Sis is going to get one next year, on your anniversary date. We got a granite stone with your picture etched in it to place at the fountain for people to see and remember. I am always looking for something to keep your memory alive. We had Thanksgiving up at Sis yesterday. We had your placemats and a place setting for you and Sis invited you to join us. Olivia saw your picture and said" Eath" or something like that. She knows all about you and recognizes your pictures. When I put her to sleep we always blow you a kiss. She is really a sweatheart. I know you would be having a ball with her and probably antagonizing her. That would be ok though because then we would be normal and perfect. You know Heath, we will never have a perfect or normal life anymore. On November 10, 2004 when God called you home, our happy, normal lives ended, for all of us a part of our hearts are missing, that left us with a BIG void. We never will be or will it ever be right again! Your memory will live on and if that is all I get accomplished, then it is ok. Just know that I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU deeply and you are always in my heart and on my mind! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox LOVE MOM xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Close
My dearest Heath It has been 2 years since you physically departed from us. Somedays it seems like yesturday and sometimes like it been forever. Today has been interesting to say the least. If you are the one sending me all the "signs" today, I get it and I love it! Thank you so much. You know I am always apprehensive about these things, and there have been so many signs but my birthday and today have been extremely convincing that you are so here with me. I miss you so very much. I sure hope you were with me and mom today when she got her tattoo, it is awesome. I will be getting the same next year. I can only see your expression now thinking how crazy we are. But you know mom, when it comes to us, nothing is too much. I could go on and on and on about how much I miss you and how much I love you and how much I think and talk to you. All I want to tell you today is thank you for being my brother and giving me all the memories. The are endless as my love for you <3. Love you with all my heart, Sis
