She is a beautiful child and I know I came to this site to remember, and see those that are able to fight the evil that wants to take them away. Only through our prayers is the evil bound to the chains that control their future. One day face to face HE will be shining with embrace, one day will be reunite with the greatest warriors and she will be there.

To the Carpenter Family. I knew Heather from High School. I remember her sitting in math class our freshman year singing "Ironic" by Alanis Morrisette. She was always so happy and always smiling everytime I saw her. I can't even imagine how your family is feeling, especially after what was said in court 2 days ago. Just remember, before this happened to Heather, you couldn't be with her every second of the day...but now that she is in Heaven, she's ALWAYS watching you and ALWAYS standing right next to you. She is and always will be missed so much by so many!

Hello To Everyone, "Concerned"; Hi, Good Girl, I had spoken to Carole Bartels months ago about the very same thing, as she is a member of both the Redding and Anderson Chambers. She was of the opinion that the Redding Bank of Commerce that has already assisted with the family would probably be a good place to start. Saturday night at "Futura Hall" here in Anderson is the Awards Dinner for the Anderson Chamber Members. The Redding Members will also be there. As I will be attending and selling tickets for upcoming Anderson events, I will speak to our Mayor and others and open a dialogue on the subject. The entire community needs to pull together and make it happen! Take Care All

Dearest Family, Today I spoke with a friend I have in the Redding Chamber of Commerce about starting a Heather Carpenter Foundation. She will be speaking with business owners as to how we need to go about starting and structuring it. This way Heather will never be forgotton and will still be able to reach and touch peoples lives, just as she did during her own short life. I will give you the details when I get them. All my love and prayers.

Although I didn't know Heather, I have been following this story since her disappearance. The story in the paper today made me sick to my stomache. Thank the lord that this childhood friend & his girlfriend knew that the truth needed to be told & went to authorities with this information. - Heaven forbid that another beautiful daughter be taken from a loving family because it gives a killer a "adrenaline rush" - HOW SICK!! My prayers will be the Carpenter family during this very horrific time in their lives. May GOD give you the strength to get through this.

Dear Ed, Cydney, Heidi, and Chris: My heart is aching for all of you. The sadness and anger is the the worst imagineable, and then, unbearable. While the Carpenters are so very strong indeed, I pray for God to give you strength daily. This monster is a coward and a liar. I wish that an "eye for an eye" in our society could be exacted to deliver the same brutality to him. In my mind, the only solace one can reach for is to believe once we get to Heaven, all the pain and suffering of our lives is washed clean.

May Justice be swift but the punk be incarcerated for his lifetime. He doesn't deserve to walk free ever again. We all miss Heather's shining presence but I always feel her spirit when I'm around her family and friends. Heather makes me want to be a better person and I hope this community who loved her so will have a lasting memorial for her. Whether it be a tree, park, or a bridge...........
Love & Miss you always

Dear Carpenter Family, Im so sorry you had to hear the terrible things you heard during Larmour's preliminary hearing yesterday, but I am very happy that at least now, you will have some retribution for the tragic thing that has happened to your sweet daughter. I will pray that he receives the longest possible sentence for what he has done. I never told anyone before now because I was too affraid I would become suspect in her disappearance, but I spoke with Heather at the mall a week or so before she dissappeared. I was really impressed with her personality and caring nature. She had given me her cell phone number but I never called her because I had misplaced the piece of paper she had wrote it on. This is one reason why I took it so personal. I apologize if I was a pain in the rear for all those months. There were some things I should have kept to myself, but I couldn't just let it lay. May the Lord be with you always- Sincerely Chris

Ed, Cyd, Heidi and Chris: So much has happened and finally you are at a place where you can see justice in action. Sally and I talk each day and it is always what an inspiration you are as a family. Cydney and Ed what wonderful and lifelong friends you are. There are no words possible to express my deepest feelings nor can I possibly begin to feel what you all do. Just know in my prayers each night. My lectures to my son and his friends always include take care of your friends. Walk each girl to their door and ensure no other people harms them. Please know through this eye opening trajedy I am able to really enlighten many young gentlemen and ladies to take each day as Heather did, with Joy and beauty. Hold close to your families and friends watch out for each other when you are out. Boys/Men never leave a lady off at the curb and no lady leaves the house walking. Hopefully through this they will see never say it can't happen to me. My everyday has prayers for you and your family. May God bless you with the ones you hold dear and may he also take this bastard to the place he belongs.

Dearest Family, As we sat in court today and listened to the testimony of things concerning Heather, my heart was breaking seeing how horribly this effected your wonderful family. To see Heather's beautiful Mothers heart breaking yet again as she listened, pulled at my very soul. Still somehow through this whole life changing atrocity you all have remained dignified and the perfect picture of the loving family we know Heather is part of. I believe Heather's presence was there today and like always she shines through all of you. All my love and Prayers

Ed, Cydney, Chris and Heidi - the coming days will test you even more than your search for Heather. You will have to endure unbelieveable pain as Heather's life is disected in the court room, but please remember that those of us that knew and loved her, and those that have come to love her and your family know the truth. That she is a wonderful young woman, she lived life with respect and love for everyone and in return recieved more love than even she realized. You are not alone even though we will not be able to be in the courtroom with you each day. I am wearing lavender today with my thoughts and prayers with you and Heather.

Dearest Family; Please know that as you enter the court room today that you are not alone. Though many of us cannot attend the prelims in body, we will most certainly be there in spirit. There are no words to help mask or make better the feelings you are having and I won't pretend that there are. Just know that the courtroom will be flooded with our prayers and un-dying love and devotion for Heather and for all of you. May Heather's presence shine and be known to all, through you, today and always. All of my love and prayers are with you always.

Remember to love one another and rely on those around you for sustained strength. Take care of yourselves so you can be Heather's presence in that courtroom, you all deserve to speak on her behalf and I pray each and every one of you, mother, father, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa will be given the opportunity to do just that.

Dear Ed, Cydney and family, I was just shocked to hear about Heather and wanted to share the many fond memories I have of her taking swim lessons and coming to ALL the events that I used to offer at Sun Oaks. Heather was always a joy to be around and garnered a smile from all. My favorite event is when we played watermelon whoopie and her and Amanda played and played until both were too tired to swim anymore! She and her friends used to do all kinds of tricks off the diving board and each one was preceeded with a shout of "Watch This Jodi". She was truly a bright star in my memories of Sun Oaks. I want you to know that my prayers are with you and I offer you my greatest condolences. May God grant you peace in your hearts. Love, Jodi and family

"It was a hot summer day when we heard the news Heather had run away. Everyone was in shock about the news and the papers were printing her picture from all possible views. They said she had ran away and that she would be fine As this sort of thing happens all of the time. We knew they were wrong And I'm sure they did too But they were trying to see it from a more practical view. Days turned to weeks We searched day and night Each day brought more worry And our hearts filled with fright We had to know what happened that hot summer night. We looked for you without end Our hopes of finding you alive kept our hearts on the mend. The town was in a whirl Everyone was trying to find the Angel who RPD had so lovingly named "Our Girl" Weeks turned to months 4.13 to be exact And someone finally came forward with the truth we had lacked. We now know what happened that hot summer night and how you must have been filled with fright. And now that we know your fate Its so very hard not to hate. Sometimes we come to your page Our hearts filled with anger and we burn with rage. Then the first thing we see is your smile and we are reminded of just how many things you made worth while. Sometimes we come here filled with hate and disgust and we are wondering why life is so unjust. Then we see your beautiful face and your smile warms up the whole place. The hardest thing we must do is to go on without you. But your presence will always be felt And your smile will always make our hearts melt. We hold close the moments we've shared Hoping you'll know how much we've all cared."

To All; Haven't been here to the Guestbook in awhile. My life has had it's rotten moments lately, but it has not kept me from remaining concerned along with "CONCERNED" and Carole and others. There is nothing to be said at this point that I haven't already declared and remained determined to follow through on......this preliminary hearing brings a new "FACE" to the accused. I will be there and will pray for Heathers friends and family to remain strong and steadfast in the quest for Justice for Heather.I have been very outspoken about my feelings in the past. I have read these apologetic letters from several guest that long ago said "we need to find Heather", "where is Heather"? Well, I'm not sorry for anything I have said or done. If the way I view the murder of a beautiful young girl that never had a chance to live her life, makes anyones blood boil, considering I am "Pro Death Penalty", that's unfortunate. This probably explains why I try not to post how I really feel and I must continue to limit the time I visit this Guestbook. That being said, please know that not for a moment have I forgotten to pray for all who love and miss Heathers smile, and touch, and laughter. Take Care of Eachother for Heather, Sincere Regards

I have family in the Shasta County area and have lived there once myself and it saddened me to hear about your beautiful daughter when my mother had told me about what had happened quite sometime ago I was totally shocked that something like this could happen to such a lovely girl like Heather in such a small area I may not have known her but I keep her and you (her family) in my prayers and so does the church I attend and I have also had my grandfather which is a minister praying for her and all of you in his church in Arkansas so I just wanted you all to know that the love and prayers we are all sending to you is coming from all over the states and we all know that God will serve his justice to whom ever deserves it. So in end I send my blessings to all of you in hopes that you all can wipe those tears and smile for heather because I know she is smiling down on you. I am truely deeply sorry for your loss.

There have been a few requests on this guestbook for people to leave stories about Heather in order to remember her spirit and uplift our spirits. Let's start doing this! Heather attended summer camp one year outside of Yreka, and the next summer she told me that I HAD to come with her. Of course, I would go and do ANYTHING that Heather did. So our parents (happily) shipped us off to camp. We were in cabin 6 (is it sad that I still remember the number?) and Heather slept on the bottom bunk while I slept on the top. Every night I would toss and turn and somehow my pillow would fall off my bunk and actually land outside on the dirt. But every morning as I groggily awoke, Heather was always teasing me for losing my pillow again, and would go outside, fetch it, and brush off the excess pine needles. This was only a one week camp, but our entire cabin (and there were eight, 7 year-old girls) got home sick except for me. I remember holding Heather's hand as she cried and told me how much she missed her mom. But then it would be craft time and she'd be totally fine again. During the week, the camp director took all of the homesick campers to speak to them. Once they left, I became very upset that my entire cabin got to do something together, but I was excluded. So I started crying! Heather returned and I'll never forget her holding me and telling me how sorry she was that I could not be homesick with everyone else! Heather was an amazing friend and the highlight of my childhood memories. Sharing stories of her life will keep us all in bright spirits.

I am sitting in my one bedroom apartment thinking about all of the great adventures I am soon to embark on. My husband and I are moving to the Sacramento area within the month. We have put a deposit down on a house and it will be finished in July. I just was married in May of last year, and within one year, my life has changed drastically. We are going to be able to own a home....and hopefully, soon, start a family. It is SO EXCITING! With all of this excitement, a thought keeps running through my mind....Heather will never be able to experience this joy I am feeling now. Heather will never be able to hug and kiss her husband or start a family of her own. I'm so sorry, Heather, that you were torn from this life! I hope that your justice is found! We love you and miss you always.

I was inspired to look at other cases as I looked upon the face of Laci Peterson by web site. I was stunned at all the missing faces as I crossed to another site of missing persons. Heather was one of the faces I saw....I must extend my true sorrows for the family and friends of Miss Carpenter....Keep your eyes on Jesus through your hard times and you will see a light at the end of the tunnel. I am a mother of three; and two out of those three just happen to be beautiful little girls.... I can not imagine what a family would have to go through and I pray that I never have to know....I pray for an end to your case...Some closure....and justis for your family....in this case...Love,,, A mother of three

I woke up early thinking about Heather and all of you. And I wrote this poem. You may add it to your journal if you like. My thoughts and prayers remain with you always...... WHEN GOD CALLED HEATHER HOME TO DWELL WITH HIM ABOVE, WE ALL QUESTIONED THE WISDOM OF HIS LOVE. GOD TOOK HER BEFORE SHE HAD THE CHANCE TO GROW OLD, HE PICKED THE PERFECT ROSEBUD TO ADD TO HIS FOLD. GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH WE NEED HER AND YET HER YEARS WERE SO FEW, BUT GOD TOOK HEATHER TO MAKE THE LAND OF HEAVEN A MORE BEAUTIFUL VIEW. BELIEVING THIS IS DIFFICULT, STILL SOMEHOW WE MUST TRY, THE SADDEST WORDS WE KNOW WILL ALWAYS BE GOOD-BYE. HEATHER IS NOW IN HEAVEN AND WE ARE LEFT BEHIND BUT WE MUST REALIZE GOD NEEDS HER TOO BECAUSE ANGELS ARE HARD TO FIND. (written by D. Green)

DEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF HEATHER, I ONLY KNEW HEATHER FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT THAT TIME WAS SPECIAL. SHE WAS DATING A FRIEND OF MINE, AND THROUGH HIM I GOT TO KNOW HER. SHE WAS A BRIGHT AND HAPPY PERSON. I WAS VERY UPSET WHEN SHE WENT MISSING. I FOUND MYSELF JUST DRIVING AND LOOKING IN STRANGE PLACES HOPING MAYBE SHE WAS ALIVE AND JUST RESTING SOME WHERE. AS MUCH AS IT BOTHERS ME, I KNOW THE FAMILY AND CLOSER FRIENDS MUST BEING HURTING ALOT. THE ONLY COMFORT IS TO KNOW THAT HEATHER IS IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE WHERE SHE WATCH ALL OF US WITH THAT BIG HAPPY SMILE....

Dear all whom we seem to have offended by deleting posts - The person who worked very hard to create this website and continues to maintain the website is a close friend of mine and also loved Heather dearly. This person is doing her best to keep this a respectable place for family and friends to go to get comfort and strength from each other. We are sorry if any of you feel "censored". However, she has been asked to delete posts that may stir up issues that we dont think the family needs to read, this includes emails from the kids "friends", this even includes messages I have added out of anger. Additionally, there are some concerns about what certain individuals have written that could affect the case and we dont want to take any chances, as I'm sure you all understand. We appreciate everybody's support and we do understand that people need to vent. I have so much anger and sadness about what has happened to my little sister I love and miss so much that I could go on and on writing on this mesage board, but I have to "censor" myself because this is not about me....the bottom line is, at this point we are most concerned about protecting the case against this evil kid and protecting our parents and grandparents who read this guestbook. Please give the webmaster and all of us a break...we are doing the best we can to manage this properly without offending anyone. Additionally, we (the webmaster and I) are planning on adding a "journal page" soon that will include more pictures of Heather, some stories and some beautiful letters written for her service and for the family. If any friends have some ideas or stories, email them to info1@heathercarpenter.com Best Regards, Heidi

Maybe who ever said that does not have a family. Anyway, still saying prayers for you, I felt especially sad when reading Chris' note on how he missed Heather, as I know everyone does. Keep strong, pray hard and love your families. Sheryl

Advice To All; If you're at a party and feeling a little drunk Be sure not to take a ride home with a punk. It would be better to call a cab or just pass out on a concrete slab. It doesn't matter how old you are or even if you have your own car. Call your Mom and Dad if you must At least they are people you can trust. Don't worry that they will be mad You are okay and for that they will be glad. So just refuse any punks offer to drive And at least in the morning You'll still be alive!

I won't pretend that any words I have to say about Heather will easy the pain of her murder. I never knew Heather, I don't know her family, but I was affected by her missing. To not know where your child is for even one day must bring a parent unbearable pain and then to learn of what happened after she became missing would be sheer torture to experience. I pray for you all in Heathers family as I prayed for Heather when she couldn't be found.Prayers are all I have to offer and I hope that pain you feel will someday fade to an ache although that will never mean that you have come to accept what happened. I can see the love your whole family had for her-She is a very lucky girl.

Chris; Thank you so much for your words. I had been feeling bad about expressing my deep hate and disgust of Patrick. When I see the things that his friends type out, here about Heather I just see red. Then I switch gears from being passive to being aggressive pretty quickly. Actually it makes me burn hot with rage, contempt and disgust. My family hears my feelings on this subject daily. Even my 8 year old says, when he sees me typing rather fast and hitting the keys a little hard, "Somebody must have trashed Heather again" Although we never knew Heather, she became a very large part of our lives. And I must say how relieved I am to know I can still defend her on this guestbook if I feel like I need to. And I am sure all of the other people who love Heather are happy about this too. Heather has a lot of supporters up here in Redding and we will defend her honor to the end of time. And will stand up to anyone who doesn't. Take care of yourself and remember we are here for you all of the time.

However you want to express yourself honestly about Heather and what has happened, is to me appropriate. Everyone has there own way of grieving. I know I do, and I am Heathers brother. Everyone deals with this type of horrific thing in their own way. I know I deal with this differently than other members in my family. I can't help the way i express my anger, sorrow, disgust, pain, hate and any feelings I have. I am different, good or bad. I just unbelievably miss HEATHER so much! I am also equally hateful, disgusted, and angry at little pat and his family. I cannot help feeling this way. So go on displaying your honest feelings on here without bashing on the pat and larmour family and keep in mind that our family reads this board. Thank you to all of you who have cared and helped through this ordeal. We really do appreciate all of you.

thankyou to the persons who understood my comments on deletion of posts.As for the negative comments about myself and "morons"I know many of these people have given the Carpenter family all the love and support from the beginning to the tragic end,including myself.When Heather was found my heart deeply ached for her family and friends,along with many of the people who have posted here.Many of feel so much anger towards the defendent and expressing it on behalf of Heather should be met with understanding.When i type my posts,its Heathers beautiful face i see and the words come from my heart.Yes the Carpenter family does need all the kind,caring and comforting thoughts to help ease their pain,however it should be understood by all that by expressing our anger at the defendent and what happened although some regard it inappropriate is also a way of showing support for Heather and her family.When negative and angry posts are made about this defendent im certain the one who would understand the most is the one looking down from Heaven and that is Heather.

I must admit I have been guilty of writing things here that weren't quite appropriate. But I do not consider myself to be a moron, as someone labeled everyone who has spoken their minds here. The grieving-mourning process is not a pleasant one, but, if handled properly, often proves to be a strengthening and growing one. We may not always respond in the 'normal' or 'acceptable' way, because people react to, and handle differently, the experience of grief. Grief is an individual experience in which each person copes in a unique way. But sometimes in situations like this we should realize that there are certain things which we think that should go left unsaid. Sometimes silence truly is golden. The family and friends of Heather need caring people who provide unconditional love and meaningful exchange (not pointless platitudes). Sometimes people just need your encouragement and not your 'wisdom'. I'm sorry I didn't learn this sooner and I apologize for anything I may have said on here in the past that was not appropriate. As always you remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I do not believe things should be deleted from here and it does upset me. I will not stop writing how I feel and think about Heathers death and her murderer. If I have to start a forum on redding.com to do it, I will. A lot of people sacrificed their time, money and energy to find Heather. Don't get me wrong because every minute of it was worth it. I would do it all again but just wish I never had to do it in the first place. I have never seen anything on here that was all that bad that it could not be left alone. Like it or not, what people write on here is exactly what they feel. And all the censorship in the world won't change that.

I must have come to the wrong site...I thought this page was set up to offer support and condolences to the family and friends of Heather! If your heart and thougths are in the right place, you shouldn't be worried about whether or not your comments stay. From what I understand, comments are only edited when morons step over the line. You need to stop thinking about yourself and the things that YOU deem important. Instead think about the fact that Heather's family and friends come to this site to take comfort in the gentle words that people may have to offer. This site is NOT about you, so get over yourself!!

I said a prayer for you today and I know He must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart. Although He spoke no word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame. I knew you wouldn't mind. I asked Him to send treasures of the far more lasting kind. I asked Him to be near you at the start of each new day, to grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small. But it was for His loving care, I asked for most of all.

Dear Family; Once again I have ask for my mom to post a message to you since I am unable to do so. It has been 6 long months for you. I have continued to show Heathers picture, the one from the Memorial Service that my mom attended, to date probably 600 inmates have looked at Heather and have wondered what kind of FREAK could kill this girl? Everyone in here agrees the "DEATH PENALTY" isn't good enough. So, justice will come in a different way. Once you enter the system, your jacket is an open book. I sure hope that your doing okay these days, we have all worried about you. When the prelims.......start, it'll be slow going, but a few months from now this guy will be entering a world he's absolutely not ready for. Ah well......that's how it goes. So we are all praying for you to stay strong and continue to hold eachother close. Much Love and Respect from all of us here in the Valley.

Dearest Ed & Sidney, I only heard today about Heather. I was talking to Jeannie Rowden about our upcomming 40th reunion and she told me. My sister Jann mentioned a long time ago that she was missing and I went on the internet to see if I could find out anything and there was nothing. I assumed she had returned and everything was fine. I can only imagine what you must have gone through. I don't know how I missed all the T.V. programs or news. There was nothing here in Santa Rosa. I don't know what to say. I am so sorry. If you feel up to it, please let me know how you are. God be with you both. M'lissa

I never knew Heather, but seeing her pictures for so long and reading this guestbook has helped to see what a beautiful person she was. When the cloudy days come, I think of her picture and somehow she just brightens my day. When you look to the Heavens in the night sky and see the stars sparkling, that's Heather shining down and letting you know she is with you in spirit. God Bless you all as you continue to heal from your pain!

On days when you're tired Not sure you can go on Your Angel Knows And will wrap you in an Angel hug To let you rest till your weariness is gone. On days when you're down Just feeling so blue Your Angel Knows And will tenderly take you in her arms To cherish and help cheer you. On days when you're hurting Really feeling that pain Your Angel Knows And will wrap you in a blanket of love To give you courage and help keep you sane. On those nights when you're lonely And there's no one to be found Your Angel Knows She'll gently enfold you in her wings To give comfort and let you know she'll always be around. And on the days when you're happy Things are going just right Your Angel Knows She'll smile and say a prayer of thanks And give you an Angel hug so tight. Day and night no matter what Your Angel is always close by To help guard you and protect you Till someday you have your own wings to fly.

"Your Guardian Angel" When I have noone to turn to And I am feeling low, When there is noone here to talk to and no where I really want to go, I search deep within myself, It is the love inside my heart that lets me know my "Guardian Angels" are there, Even though we are miles apart, A smile then appears upon my face and the sun begins to shine......I hear a voice, so soft and sweet saying, "everything will be just fine".......It may seem that I am alone, but I am never by myself at all....Whenever I need my Angels near, all I have to do is call.......A Guardian Angels love is always true on that you can depend.....She will always be your friend....A Guardian Angel who will guide what you do, Her Heart filled with love sent to watch over you.......With Sincere Regards to all of Heathers family and friends as well as those participating in Heathers memory.

"Heathers Tree", As I have told you all, Heathers tree was not just for the Holidays. It was hers then, hers now and always! I will call Christina at the Record Searchlight come the week the trial proceedings begin, to remind her that everyone needs to be aware, when they see the lights return, these are for Heather, let none forget what happened to your Angel. I pinned the badge with her sweet face on it to a basket, along with her ribbon, every morning I say "Good Morning Sweetie", every night, I say "Good Night Little Angel". I light a candle, a pretty pink one just like those we had at the Candle Light Vigil, for a few minutes every so often, just to say "Hello Heather". I am hoping that you will plan another vigil, to light candles for her, at the same place the night before the trial begins. Lets send a clear signal to this community, that while there may have been a Memorial Service held for your Angel, there is still much sorrow yet to bare. Love To All!

Dear Family; Well,weeks have passed since I last visited Heathers Guest Book. I hope your all taking care of eachother for all of us out here that care. It's a huge day for Football fans, I would bet Heather liked football, brother Chris probably taught her how to throw and good pass. This really "SUCKS" that she is not here to enjoy this day and "Patrick" is still taking up space!!!!! Well, I have read the latest postings, seems some things never change. There are friends of Patricks that still talk about what a great guy he is......pretty sad isn't it? The trial will soon begin, I will be at every hearing I can attend. Your support group has not ended, we are still "RELENTLESS". Much Love To All Of You Today As Always
