Heidi Jo Riggenbach

(1974 - 1996)

   Heidi was one of the most beautiful people I ever knew inside and out. The day she died a part a part of myself died along with her. First let me give you a little background about Heidi and my friendship. We where friends for just about 20 years. We met when we were infants practically ( her grandmother lived a couple of houses away from mine). Throughout those years she was ALWAYS there for me when I needed someone no matter what. But towards the end of her young life I noticed she was slipping further into drugs especially heroin, I felt helpless. I watched her slowly kill herself and did nothing, for that I will never forgive myself. Now she is gone I will never see her smiling face again and that really hurts. She left us all much to early I wonder if she knew how much she meant to me and everyone who was lucky enough to come in contact with her. I will miss you dear friend and I love you so very much.
