Carole, Once again I will say to you and everyone else here that everyone grieves
differently. Some people here try to govern what people write here and they really
don't have a right to tell you or anyone else what to post here. When the Carpenter
Family decides its time they may or may not edit some things posted here. No one
knows better than them how they feel and everyone should let them speak for theirselves
if they so choose. Until such time,I feel like if you are angry at the murderer
of Heather Marie Carpenter this is where you can say it.

Dear Carpenter family,USA left a post that i not mention anything more about
the suspect.Im sorry if my post upset anyone especially your family as you know
i have been at this site from early on showing my support.I just had too get my
anger out and maybe this was not the place too do it and i am sorry for that.We
prayed that Heather would be found, and was just not prepared for the devastating
outcome as most people were not either.I became overwhelmed with anger.Please
know that some of my posts included material that carried thoughts of not only
Heather but you her family and the devastation and suffering you have had too
endure.It was just gut wrenching and made my heart so heavy too even think about
what you have been through from the beginning too the end of these long months.Over
the months we learned more and more about Heather,what a beautiful girl with such
a loving and caring personality.She took hold of our hearts and stayed there.She
will always remain in our thoughts and prayers as you will also.I will try too
follow news articles concerning the case and will not post anything more about
that suspect.I will be angry for awhile but i just wont post it in here.Thankyou
and God Bless.

Heather. I never met her, but she was a beautiful girl. You all are in my thoughts
and prayers and I wanted to offer my condolences. I know this is a very difficult
time for all of you and just wanted to let you know that there are caring people
out there who are keeping you in prayer right now. I know this holiday season
is not going to be an easy one, but I know Heather loved you all and loves you
still. She's no longer in any danger and is safe in the warm embrace of our Lord.
Take care, DC

I have a picture that is with my sister (Stephanie Fancher), Heather, Jenny
Shroyer (a tennis teammate, and my close friend), and me. Steph & Heather decided
that they wanted to have curly hair that day....and they spent almost ALL day
putting gel and mousse in their hair to scrunch up their stick-straght hair as
much as they could. It's funny the things that you remember about a person! Anyway,
we had a "photo shoot" shortly thereafter, and in the picture we all "vogue"d.
Heather, of course, is in the picture with her tougue sticking out.....one of
her trademark poses. THAT was Heather! THAT will always be the silly girl that
I remember.....she always found a way to make you smile. We will miss you Heather!

Our family would like to extend our deepest sympathys for your loss. No words
can take away the pain. I did not know your daughter. However, I had just moved
into Redding in August (from Arkansas). I have a 19, 18, and 14 year old daughter
and I thought how easily that it could be mine. I was just telling my husband,
the morning they arrested that young man, how I pray that God would help Heather
be found! As painful as it is, it is better to know where she is, than never know.
I pray for compfort that only God can give you, and the support of the many family,
friends, and the community that loves you and feels for you during this time.
God Bless you, and I heard you say this morning that her name meant "Flower",
she deffinately looked like a beautiful budding flower....Shining!

believe this tragedy. It is such a waste of such an amazing girl. My thoughts
and prayers are with the family. I know she is in a better place. The best place
he can be is in prison, looking at her picture and remembering what he has done.I
know he will be punished for his sins and get what he deserves. I hope they do

I have been watching this story unfold since the day Heather was reported missing
by the media. I was touched by your stories of your "angel". I felt a 1/4 of your
pain through your tears and couldn't come close to imagine your sorrow. I am not
a parent but I am a compassionate human being who has a saddened heart today by
the news of your daughter. I lost my father the day after Christmas and spent
several years after that hating the holiday season. It just didn't feel the same.
Where there used to be laughter, warm thoughts, and smiles around Christmas time
turned into bitter, dark, cold days & nights spent pondering many unanswered questions.
It was hard to put up a tree not to mention the ornaments or the tree topper.
I didn't want to wrap presents, I didn't want to be around anyone and I felt incredibly
jealous of families that had not lost anyone close to them. Then one day I was
sitting on the beach one day in July with the sun shining upon my face pondering
about life and missing my father. Then something strange happened to me. A lone
dark cloud came across and began to sprinkle on me. It was at that moment that
I felt my father's presence over me as if he was there sitting beside me. Then
a few minutes later the cloud dispersed and the sun began to shine again. My mother
told me years and years ago that we are given signs by God and that we shouldn't
discount any of them. I took that moment as my father telling me to "dry my tears
and heal my sorrow because he was right there with me shedding sunlight upon my
life". From that moment on I spent my holiday season as a celebration of his life.
I was born on Christmas day and know that my father held on until the day after
my birthday to say goodbye to me. I know that you will read many many stories
from people you don't even know that will put you in their prayers and ask God
to give you the support and strength you will need for years to come and especially
this holiday season. I promise your "sunshine" will come into your life and please
know that those rays that will shine upon your face are the signs of innocence,
kindness, good spirits, love, and unforgettable memories that your "angel" Heather
will give to you as her gift to her incredible parents. You will be in my prayers
this holiday season. God Bless You!!! A girl in Florida

There is a discussion Forum on Redding.com that you can use to express your
thoughts, you don't need to leave negative comments on a website set up soley
for the family and friends. This is a time for them to go through the greiving
process and with the kind words from the community hopefully it will make some
days seem a little easier. I don't know what kind of support you think you're
giving them by posting negatives on this site. To Heathers family from my family,
god bless you and know that you are in our prayers.

And im not done yet.Here are a few things i suppose the defese attorneys will
use too defend this guy, a head injury at one time,parents worked home alone too
much,latch key kid,bullied at school,personality disorders,some form of dimished
capacity,abusive parents,didnt understand what he was doing was wrong,the strangulation
was an accident,they were engaged in horseplay and it just happened,ADHD,the victim
provocked him---and i could go on and on and on-but i wont.We all know that defense
attorneys will go too any length,use anything they can even if its total BS too
get their client out of his jam.But in this case im so hoping the proscecutors
as great as they are,will win this case just by using the COLD,HARD,TRUE FACTS
and this killer will be convicted of MURDER.These posts were for YOU Heather!

Well ive just been wondering what kind of defense Patricks lawyers will prepare?
In my opinion there is only one defense in court that is justifiable and that
is SELF DEFENSE when you feel your life in danger otherwise its all BS.If a person
knows the difference between LIFE and DEATH,and they committ an act which they
KNOW will result in death-there is no defense,they are guilty of MURDER!!!In a
strangulation case there are several minutes in which the killer can stop and
decide what they are doing is wrong and let the victim live.However if he continues
until he has brought this persons life too an end,he is a cold blooded killer!!!!And
too cover up your crime by hiding someones body-well I say BRING THE GAVEL DOWN!!!!Everyone
is going too have too sit in a courtroom and listen too a defense lawyer give
101 excuses why he did this.There can be N0 EXCUSES,NO REASONS_other than he committed
murder in the 1st degree and i cant see why the special circumstances cant be
attempted rape here----LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!!!!hes no different
than Bundy,Gacy,Ridgeway or any of the others!!!!!Had he not been caught,there
may have been others!!!!

your "Angel" your child, your baby, your sister, your friend, "This should have
never happened". The Memorial to Heather on the 29th of December will be another
tough day to get through. This Community that has fallen in love with Heathers
spirit will stay at your side and "you will not walk alone"! Christmas will soon

Dearest Family, As I sat and watched you on Good Morning America this morning
I was taken back 5 longgg months to the time Heather first disappeared. That was
the day I vowed to God, myself, your family and most of all to Heather to help
bring closure to this nightmare. My heart literally broke in 2 as I watched your
tears flowing for the loss of your Precious Angel. You are truly a remarkable
family. You are in the midst of the most trying time you will ever face in your
lives and still you are able to face everything this has been thrown at you with
the upmost dignity and respect. I know as you were speaking this morning about
Heather, you were gathering your strength from God. Heather would be so proud
of you for being so strong in this terrible time. Continue to gather your strength
from God and from each other and from your many loyal supporters. Together we
will all see that Justice is brought upon this young man and keep Heathers Precious
and Pure memory in the minds of all.

is always painful. And the lose of person the way it happened is heartbreaking.
Heartbreaking for parents, brothers, sisters, friends. I've never heard of this
woman. But every life is always priceless. Why these criminal will realize the
fact taking a live if human being; you are taking/putting a light of your own
light. I'm lost in words. I hope Ms. Heather Carpenter's soul will rest in peace
& her soul be sent to heaven. I know the lose of a child can't be replaced with

to losing someone so dear to your heart. I lost my brother last year. Once again
the question ponders in my mind. "WHY?" Why are people so evil? Why do they prey
on the innocent? Only God knows. I pray strength and peace for your family during
these troubling times. Know this: God WILL give you peace in the midst of the
storm. God did not create evil. Look to Him for that is where your help will come
from. His Strength is made perfect when your strength is gone. And He will carry
you when can't carry on.

First of all I wish to express my deepest condolesences to the Carpenter family.
Although I did not know you or your daughter, I have been following the story
in the paper and was deeply saddened at the tragic end. To all who defend her
killer, the apple does not fall far from the tree, I've met enough Larmours to
know they are all worthless. Even if Patricia doesn't get the death penalty, he
will pay in prison when many a Bubba makes him pick up the soap. I was so impressed
with the Redding community and how they all pulled together to help solve this
crime. Now not only should we rally around the Carpenter family, but lets also
remember Tera Smith and her family. They still have no closure. Where's Tera?
Zink knows..he can be found daily in the Downtown Redding Mall at his Daddy's
coin/baseball card shop...maybe Heather's tragedy can put the spotlight back on
him.. and we can help the Smith family get the closure they so deserve. The Larmours
protected Patrick just like the Zinks are protecting Troy. The Carpenters and
Smiths do not deserve the pain these families are putting them through.

Oh Miss Lorianne, just had to say something special to you and that novel you
wrote that no one should have to have read...but ummm Deary, Heather was 22, she
was of age to be drinking, so to answer your obviously unthought out question,
she may have been drinking, Mr Pat on the other hand was 17, I believe that to
be illegal age to drink and well, drugs are just plain ol' illegal anyways,so
Heather also didn't drive, her friends were responsible to take her keys, justify
when there are better ways to back yourself up, not when you look like a fool,
and if Heather was out late, thats ok, adults can do that sort of thing hun, it's
allowed, we don't have bedtimes and curfews, I hope you are not planning on being
a lawyer sweetie, cause your "defense" sucks!! These people have a right to be
upset with Pat, and if they express it with hatful words, that is ok, you will
have to get over that girly, cause no one wants to hear your crap anymore...you
take care now, God Bless all of you!

My guess is the little creep hasn't even got the guts to kill himself even
if he weren't being watched. But we all know sometimes things still happen to
the people being watched. This is one time I can honestly say I couldn't care
less what happens to him and I hope recieves all the attention he has been promised
by the inmates that he will soon be living with daily. The attention that he so
very much deserves!!

I am an old high school aquaintance of Heather's and I feel so sad about eveything.
I am feeling really bad that I will not be able to make it to Heather's memorial.
Please know that I would if I could and I will be thinkning and praying for each
and eveyone of you who love her on that day and always. May God Be with You. And
may people realize that this site is meant for Heather's family only. Pleas stop
all the arguing and bad talking about the Larmour family. I can tell you that
I am sure that is not the kind of stuff her family is looking forward to reading
when they decide to check this site. It has already made me not even want to read
what others have typed out and she and I had a little friendship in high school.
Please use better judgment for the sake of Heather's friends and loved ones. Her
own best friend Stephanie has already asked you to do that. Thank You. May God
be with you Carpenter's and the many more who loved Heather!! Hang in there Stephanie.
Think of what Heather would really want for you guys. I knew her enough to know
she would not want any of us suffering when she is now so free. She would want
her family to continue the life they still have and try to make the best of it.
Just hold on to the good memories you all have of her. AMybe people can start
typing about those kind of things instead of all this negativity. Sharing stories
that people know of Heather and themselves would be a wonderful thing for her
family to read about. Make more smiles arrise then frowns. There's already enough
to frown about.

NOR DOES HE CONDONE OR EXCUSE MURDER. THE GOD I SERVE IS THE SAME GOD WHO ANSWERED
OUR MANY PRAYERS FOR CLOSURE TO THIS FOR THE CARPENTERS. I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR
BAD LIFE BUT GOD DID MAKE YOU WITH A BRAIN AND A WITH LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE TO

I am very, very sorry for the loss of Heather Carpenter.My heart goes out to
her family and friends.I pray for all of you every day and now even more so since
she has been found.My 12 yr old son who always saw the flyers wondered when she
would be found. I had to tell him the other day that Heather was found and he
looked happy. He asked how she was and where she had been!? Now what a positive
child to think like that! Unfortunately,I told him what had happened and he was
deeply saddened. I mentioned this to my own mother and she had a very good point.
When I was his age (12), she never had to tell me that there were kids dying.
Worse yet, kids being killed by kids. Now it seems to be a common thing! How sad
is that! Heather's murderer deserves punishment that I hope is severe.I know our
justice system is so screwed up that I imagine this Patrick guy is being protected
or even watched so he doesn't try to take his own life. Who protected Heather?
Amazing how people can do cruel things and receive protection. I have noticed
others posting comments about Tera Smith. I know it's been 5 yrs but I hope everyone
still keeps her in their minds, hearts and prayers as they did Heather. There
needs to be closure for the Smith family as well. Hopefully there will be some
way to make the responsible party of Tera's disappearance TALK! Goodness knows
there are alot of people out there that would love to make sure this person does!
Take care Carpenter family and at least you know Heather is in an awesome place
looking down on all of you!

not an ex con, or easily annoyed.....well maybe a little annoyed...at the fact
that I can't get my point accross. It's just that I (as a part of a former job)
have sat in many a courtroom listening to attorneys make little freaks look like
they deserve a break because they had a rough childhood. and any ammo you give
them to make the kid look like he had it rough works against the prosecution in
many cases. His attorney can use it to try to build sympathy for his client. This
is just the opinion of a former professional court watcher. Take my word for it
or not....it's up to you. I'm through talkin about this.... again my heartfelt
condolances to the Carpenter family, may you find peace in knowing she's finally
at rest.

blaming a "leftist" "semi-commi" judicial system doesn't take away from the
fact that "here-say" is only alowed in civil trials, not criminal cases. Everything
on here is here-say, an email address doesn't make you a reliable source, nor
could it count for testimony in a criminal trial. Blessings to Heather's Family,
you have a community behind you. People are just releasing their anger on here
because they are angry at the situation, not because they want to disrespect Heather's
memory I am sure. Folks, let's try to stay positive and leave kind remembrences.
Take Care.

I just read a post here that really bothers me. Someone said that by expressing
feelings of anger toward Patrick Larmour and his family , his attorney would be
able to use it against Heather and her family. They said it would just prove how
"mentally off" he is. Well Good God, if you think they don't already know how
disturbed he is by what he has done than you must be living under a rock somewhere.
I think now, more than ever that people who knew he was on drugs and having some
sick obsession with sex and whatever else they know, (which I would bet my life
they know more still) should not have kept anything they knew or "know" concerning
Heather or Patrick a secret. And if you are reading this and feel this applies
to you or you know anything else, it would not only be an Honorable thing to do,
it would be WISE to call Secret Witness and share any little thing that may help
Bring Swift Justice to the "Murderer" of Heather Marie Carpenter. NOW like never
before is the time to STAND UP FOR HEATHER !! I'm in no way suggesting that you
should post your info here on Heathers Web Site, as this is NOT the appropriate
place for that. But you should let the proper authorities know. Even the smallest
detail might Help Bring Justice to Heather Marie Carpenter's Murderer. Thank You
to the Editor of this Site for "allowing" us to word our postings the way we want
to during this horrible time. Much credit is due to you for keeping Heather's
Web Site up and running, and supplying all new information as it becomes available.

Shame on you, James Martin. This is an inappropriate place to take out your
anger on our society. Heather was a beautiful girl and came from a very supporting
and loving family. I am proud to say she is someone who had an influence on my
life. This is not a place to preach. I cannot express the sorrow I feel and how
torn I am with the relief that there might finally be some closure for this family.

No one knows anothers inner thoughts. It wasnt stated his family is to blame
for the act, just their lack of parenting. And not helping the authorities. More
importantly, who cares about the pat you knew, obviously you didnt know him inside.
What angers me is his family and friends compairing their hurt to the Carpenters,
AND USING THIS SITE TO EXPRESS IT. Its rude and no one cares about the pain of
the kid or his family who did this, he is alive. So go again I say go make a website
for "the pat you knew" and stop talking about him as if he was an good boy. One
who took meth, stayed out all night, obsessed with sex, and his lies and family
kept another family in agony. It was said here it wasnt a secret to anyone he
went to school with, so obviously you didnt know him, you knew what he wanted
to portray. But it takes someone who can look at another on drugs and sees the
signals and doesnt turn a cheek to it. Until the kid does something like this,
this is what it took for you all to see what he was. Now go take a look at your
own children, a good look, and stop seeing what you want to see. wake the hell
up.

To the entire Carpenter Family. I would like to express my profound sorrow
on the loss of your beloved Heather. Although her journey on Earth was brief she
bathed in the Sunshine of so many people. Heather also bathed in your Love and
was surrounded by family who helped her to become such a wonderful person. I am
reminded of a short poem by the sixteenth Japanese poet, Teitoku Matsunage: "
The morning glory blooms but for an hour and yet it differs not at heart from
the giant pine that lives for a thousand years". Please accept my sincere condolence.
My prayers are with you and Heather. I would would be honored to arrange to have
Heather's memorial service broadcast ofer the internet on the www.memorials4them.com
website. This would allow the world to attend Heather's memorial service. There
would be no expense involved. Aly Mckinna

out because i had just gotten married and was afraid that something might happen
to my wife. I went to school at CVHS where patrick started high school. I got
to know him and became aquaintces with him. He was a cool kid untill about 10th
grade when he got in to pot and i believe was even put on probation for assult
but i never thought that he would kill someone. But to every one out the be careful
and leave PAT and his family off of this site this is for heather. it is not a
hate site. Make a "I HOPE PAT DIES AND ROTS IN HELL SITE" if you want to say things
about him but not here. once again to heathers family I AM SORRY

Heather and I were such good friends and I have not been able to type anything
on this website for a while now. But today while sitting outside I noticed that
this past week was very wet and gloomy and yet today the sun shines with a slight
breeze. The breeze reminded me of a time when Heather and I were watching this
"chick flick" she loved romantic movies and there was this saying, "It is like
the wind, I can't see but I can feel it." This is how I feel about my forever
lost friend. I know that she will never walk through my door with her beautiful
smile, she will never call me late at night just to talk, but even though we will
never be able to do things we use to do together. I have all of those beautiful
memories and I know she is like the wind, I can't see her, but I can feel her.
I will always love her and am so thankful she was a part of my life. So I am so
glad that the sun shines today because I know that it is her beautiful smile shining
on us telling us she is finally at peace. Misty

To all that are of Heather's age: My daughter went and graduated with Heather.
The hearbreak in my home is none the less quite disturbing. I want to tell all
that are reading to take this situation to heart. My rule at home has been that
if you are not able to get home safely, call mom! As a 22 year old, my daughter
has been very responsible with this rule. I want you all to remember that your
parents love you. Talk to them. Partying is a natural thing that most young people
do. When we talk about trust, It is awful to think that a "friend" would do this
sort of thing and it only backs up my feelings that we do not know who we can
trust.... even our best friends. Please kids.... make a point to have back up...
if not mom or dad.... another family memeber... or another parent of a friend...
you get my meaning. The tears of pain go way beyond the tears of the loss of you.
We do not always make good decisions but please.... remember... it's better to
have been yelled at because you called home for a ride because you were drunk...
than for you to be dead. The loss of FHS students at this young age of 22, being
to drugs/alcohol.... some of you even have frineds in jail.... it is just wrong.
Believe in yourself... for from what I have been told about Heather, she would
have believed in you. Don't let her death be in vain.... let it be a lesson. I
am so sorry to the Carpenter Family. My heart cries for you. Love, Barbara...Mom

I have been struggling with the idea of posting this letter for awhile now.
I have chosen to do so in the hopes that it helps some of the readers. If I had
a choice, I would say it directly to The Carpenters and Patricks family. I will
try to condense the facts and you will have to follow. In 1996 while sitting in
my living room alone watching tv I saw headlights coming up my driveway, a long
gravel road. It was about 10:00 and it startled me since I was alone. I went to
the door and there were 3 young men. I knew one of them from visits to my home
with my son. The other 2 were strangers. I ask what's going on? I was frightened
because my son was not there, I told them that. One of them, a boy named Steve
that spent a lot of time at our home in recent months spoke. He said "it's not
good news we bring", I thought right away that something had happened to my son!
They ask if they could come in, I said certainly, "I ask if my child had been
in an accident or something"? They just looked at me, terrified by now I said
please tell me what's going on. Steve spoke, he says "he's in jail", "he's been
arrested for attempted murder". I went into shock! As the conversation progressed
and the reality unfolded there that night, my world changed FOREVER! I was at
the jail the next morning to speak with my son. As I walked up to the window,
looked through the glass at my 22 year old child that was pretty much my best
friend and a real sweetie, loved his cats, loved to bring me wild flowers from
the pasture when he mowed for me, pick up a milkshake on his way home from work,
"is there anything you need me to do today mom"? This person behind the glass
in an orange jumpsuit was not my baby boy! That very first meeting was the worst
experience of my life....what follows is still an unfolding nightmare for me.
Since then, a 30 year marriage was destroyed, a lifes savings gone, a home lost,
an attempt at suicide on my part, over what, problems in our home that put so
much pressure on our son that he got involved in "meth" and self-destructed! His
father turned his back on him, said he was a disgrace to the prominent family
name, the terror of thr trial, seeing my son shackled and chained, knowing that
he was there because his father and I failed in our lives and it caused him to
look for an escape from it all. I had no clue that this good looking guy, that
loved his hot-rod pick-up, his loud "country music", all the girlies....way to
many....was doing drugs? Well, it's been 8 long years of visits, phone calls,
letters, thoughts about coming back home a convicted felon, loving his grama so
very much for being the only one left but MOMMY.....we have gone over it 1,000
times! What could have been done differently? So you see people, while we try
so hard as parents and active community participants, run our business's, work
hard at having it all, sometimes FATE reers it's ugly face and everything changes
forever! The victims and the people that love and charrish them get caught in
the crossfire. I adore my son, thank the LORD he did not hurt anyone! But as I
thought about the Carpenters, and how having their precious Heather taken away
from their world, and knew how the pain was so unbearable for them, "HEATHERS
TREE"

None of us will know how much if any the parents had in covering for their
son until it is all brought out in the trial.However from the day their son was
questioned about Heather red flags should have went up all over the place for
the parents.He lived in the same household,do you mean too tell me his behavior,the
things he may have said or done,didnt give them suspect too the fact he may have
been invoved?Did they know so little about their son that they couldnt pick up
on his obsession with sex or his drug use?Did they attempt too talk with him,or
get him help if they did suspect? Or when they found out he may be involved did
they automatically go in too the "shield"mode too make sure their son would stay
out of jail.When something is wrong with someone in our family we can tell and
it is brought too attention and dealt with.I just dont understand his family not
picking up on something and urging him too go forward with the truth instead of
putting the Carpenter family through 5 long months of torture,then actually waiting
untill her remains was found and Patrick is arrested.How could this kid at 17
be able too afford a truck,4 wheeler and have the money too buy drugs for cryin
out loud!!!!!!If as some people say he was spoiled despite his behavior this is
called enabling.Its like buying alcohol for an alcoholic,or drugs for a drug addict.If
a person takes a gun and shoots someone,the person who pulls the trigger is responsible
for the act itself,however the person who loaded the gun with bullets knowing
that the gun may used too cause harm,also has too take responsibility.If Patricks
family had any clue or clues that he was involved in any way it shoud have been
their responsibility too work with law enforcement and brought this case too a
close alot sooner and helping too alleviate the Carpenters not knowing a suffering
for 5 MONTHS!!!!

sad- please dont post any sadness about the Larmours, they didnt post the posters
in their store, and probably knew more about this then anyone. I do not feel sorry
for them it seems they covered this up, with a lawyer and not helping. Had my
child been accused and i believed it not to be true I would have been out searching
with the family and posting pictures. And had that been my child who did what
thiers did to an innocent girl I would have had no other choice but to turn them
in or ask them to do so. Because it was wrong. Apparently they had nothing but
bad words to say and nothing to help the Carpenters in thier search. AGAIN I ASK
HOW YOU WOULD FEEL? DID YOUR SIBLING MURDER BECAUSE THEY COULDNT GET THE SEX THEY
DESIRED? and then put it off on the girl like it was her fault? He is a POS and
for his family to let him say such things is horrible. May he rot in prison, and
if his parents covered it up may they rot as well. Too bad about your family but
even though some can be genetic, some is also in how you were raised. They gave
this boy no rules apparently (he was out all night and was on meth). My child
would be in rehab, because I believe in "tough love". I also have a family memeber
who went astray but never murdered anyone, there is no excuse. Had they done so
I would have had to turn them in, just as saddams family did to him. Patricks
family was worried about nothing more then their own not Heather who was not in
this life anymore and her parents couldnt have closure because of him, and most
likely his family. FOr anyone to compair the Carpenters pain to the Larmours pain
is OUTRAGEOUS. Their child will not be the VICTIM, and will walk the streets again.
But let me know the day he is up for parole, I'll be there. TO the Carpenters--Im
sorry For your loss, I would love to do anything to help. I would like to attend
the memorial service, Im sure you will have a huge turn-out because Heather was
so special. Please let us know when it is. The community and the world morns with
you, it is why were so angry. To the Larmours family and friends, get your own
website, your well wishings and pity isnt needed here. This is for Heather.

I'm so sorry for the loss, but I'm also sorry for finding this guestbook and
for reading what people had posted, very sad indeed. I truly believe that the
way youth has been portraying itself lately is mistaken, but I truly believe that
parents are totally responsible for whatever fate their kids run across. We bring
them to this world to look after them, to watch over them, make sure they know
the difference between right and wrong and overall to make sure they are safe.
I disagree with kids being home alone while parents are away, I disagree with
kids being out all night partying, I disagree with the relation between young
people and alcohol/drugs.. but I strongly disagree with irresponsible parents.
So many things happen because we just simply don't have the time to keep an eye
in our kids, I know life isn't easy, I know we cannot spare lots of time.. but
we should sit down and think.. most of these sad consecuences are nothing but
an answer to our lack of control and dedication. No matter how old.. 17 or 22..
they need us and will need us until the day we die, that is what being parents
is all about. I know nobody is perfect, only God.. so who are we to throw the
first stone? My condolences to the family.
I'm Sorry

This person will probably spend 10 years in prison if he gets 25. Be assured
he will be walking the streets again.... when we raise our children to be spoiled
and we coddle them and protect them when they have done wrong, let them stay out
all night, have no consequences to actions, this is what you wind up with. These
people lost control of him a long time ago. There is a vast difference between
the upbringing of these 2 people. Remember Heather was 22, this punk was 17. Where
was his parents? Probably out on their houseboat partying. We are responsible
to raise our children and direct them in the right ways, not the wrong ways, Patrick
is a product of his upbringing, his environment, his parents. I do not feel one
bit sorry for Patricks family.

A couple months ago as I was searching for Heather I ran across some writings
of hers on the Internet. I wanted to share a couple with everyone. The first one
is a favorite quote of Heathers by Ani Difranco. Personal Quote: "I was blessed
with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between" Ani Difranco.....
The second one is what Heather wrote of her own words....... "I live in Redding
its really peaceful, till all the peaceful ones go mad, and start screaming, because
it is too quiet." The third..... "You can tell the quality of a person by how
they treat people they don't need." So when you think about Heather you might
want to remember this...She considered her life as well as well her death a blessing
and having some say so in between was a bonus. Heather didn't get enough time
in between to really have her "say" and I guess we are the "Quiet Ones" gone "Mad"
that will help Heather to have the "Say" she deserves to have and wanted so much.
And finally another thing Heather wrote.... "I mostly love the people I meet,
I love to meet them from all walks of life. If you snub your nose up at someone,
because they do not meet your conformity, you may miss someone great.".... Heather
obviously was a loving, caring, giving and may I add very bright and intelligent
young woman. She is guilty of trusting in her fellow man and trusting the wrong
one. That is all she is guilty of. And to sit and read how the "Accused" is trying
to make Heather out to be some maniac or deranged individual makes me MAD!!
Still Mad
USA - Sunday, December 21, 2003 at 07:22:41
Yes this is "Heathers"website and the people who are writing negative comments
about her murderer,are doing so out of anger which is pretty much the normal emotion
too have right now considering the fact that they did care alot about Heather
and the pain and suffering her family has had too endure,up too and including
the day Heather was found.Can you not imagine how you would feel had this been
your childs fate??Maybe comments like mine and others,negative or untactful as
they may sound,still cannot compare too the henious acts which her killer bestowed
upon her and the long and heart wrenching pain the Carpenter family has endured
over these long months.I salute the people who have made negative comments about
the suspect as they do so out of anger because they did care about Heather and
her family.I suppose these same people who chose too vent their anger here would
be the same people who would have attempted too save and protect Heather from
him if they would have had the chance.Candy coating the suspect and the reality
of what he is "accused"of doing is just not my way of thinking.At this point,when
i read the articles about her discovery,my first and only response is anger!His
supporters should be thankful he will be given the oppurtunity for a fair trial
in a court of law instead of having the angry pulbic take justice into their own
hands.Thats why we have proscecutors,defense attorneys,judges and jurys.And if
you think the negative comments in this website are "bad" i hope those of you
who support this suspect will have the chance too sit in at his trial and learn
the details of what he did too Heather and you will learn the meaning of "bad"My
heart goes out too the Carpenter family and family and friends of all victims
as as long as their nightmare has been,it is not over as they will have too sit
in court(if they can)and listen step by step,word by word how their beatuful daughter
spent the last days of her prescious life.

With all due repect, I'm sorry if I offended any one the CARPENTERS by my outburst
of madness caused by the pain I feel so deeply. As for anyone else here who might
not like what I said, unless you are Ed, Cydney, Heidi or Chris , then you just
need to mourn the way you want to mourn and let everyone else do the same. If
you don't like my postings..BUMMER!!!! Everyone mourns and handles death in their
own way, I don't criticize or try to sensor what you say so show me the same respect
please! Some people pray, some people scream and right now I feel like SCREAMING!!!!

To my Uncle Carl and Aunt Susan, and the Carpenter family, I only can express
my deepest sympathy for your loss. It's a shame that such a beautiful and innocent
girl had this done to her. She didn't deserve it, and I hope that justice is served.
In the world today, it's a shame that these kinds a things are done to innocent
people. Your in my thoughts and prayers, especially within this holiday season.
Don't worry everything will work about, grieving will eventually subside, but
Heather will always be in our hearts. Merry Christmas.

and I don't want to hear all of this and neither do her parents and family! She
was the most honest, loving, compassionate, gregarious girl in the world. Every
day for the rest of my life she will be in my thoughts and I await the day when
I will see her and get to hug her again. Cyd and Ed, I love you, you are my second
parents, and as I tell you daily, I am here for you always. I'm trying to get
a flight for the memorial!! Alyssa, I'll do your makeup for the service..as Heath

admiring our strength. Kisses and hugs to all.

was such a beautiful person and always made me laugh. To her family I say this;
just remember the good times you had with her. That's all she would want you to
remember. Rest assured, God has a new angel in Heaven. Good bye, Heather....I'm
sorry we didn't have more time in this life together.

Everyone responding negativly and/or responding to these posts at all (yes
I am guilty, but I am trying to wake you people up) are just making it worse.
Don't respond to those who mention Patrick ... just give praises to Heather, you
are being self-righteous in trying to stand up for Heather and her family. Don't
speak for the family, it would be best to just simply share your good stories
involving Heather and give your verbal support to the them. Please handle your
words with class.

so sad- So you knew both of the families? or you chose to write about a murderer
and his family here for whos sake? Not the family of poor beautiful Heather. I
have a teenager too but I will tell you this, I would be checking on my child
if they were out with friends, but mine makes good choices because she knows she
is guility by association, and she has gotten away from kids who do wrong because
she is good, and has values and doesnt wish to try to be "cool" just to be popular.
If Pat were my son I'd have grounded him for a long time, (including taking his
truck and liscense) if he was out all night, or doing drugs, and getting a fix
for his "sex" fetish. I just wonder had it been your daughter if you would be
so kind as to say those same words. I doubt you would. Someone takes a life you
brought into the world, and you say something so blatantly disrespectful on the
deceased site about "bad choices" Give me a break, and get yourself a clue.

For those of you who wish to post here in reguards to Patrick, and his families
pain and other bs or kind words of the person you think you knew, go make your
own website and post all your nice things to him and his family there. Because
I dont feel for his family, maybe if they kept a closer eye on their 17 yr old
minor child and didnt allow him to go out all night and party this wouldnt have
happened. Maybe if the boy knew rules and respect for women instead of objects
we would still have this precious life here with us today. Now I still blame his
family, his parents, they brought him into this world and somehow didnt do right
by him. Because of this he took her out of this world. So I should feel bad for
his family that didnt support the effort in finding her or even post her poster
at thier store? And who went and got a laywer immediatly? Sorry, I feel nothing
but they were trying to cover up their own spawns evil doings. So please out of
respect for Heathers family go make your own site to talk about the kid who took
drugs and was obsessed with sex, who creates lies now and shames her memory.

To answer your question, yes, just talking about killing someone is conspiracy

of time. Bizarre

Excuse my entry at this time, but did I understand that right? In California,
if you are involved in a conspiracy to kill someone it's a 25year to life in prison
sentence? The murderer of Heather is only being charged with 25 to life also?

I am truly saddened that such a horrible act can take place in such a small
town atmosphere and that there are individuals who withhheld information that
could have brought this family closure long before now. Well, lets all be greatful
to the person who was finally brave enough to share what they know and bring closure
for this family. There is one thing that we as humans are overlooking right now
because of all the pain that is being felt due to this tragic loss. Heather and
her killer are the only ones who truly know what happened and who was involved
in this brutal act. She was a great loss to the community and would have continued
to bring joy and smiles to those around her. I have felt that this young man was
the one who took her life for some time but we must all remember that the only
ones who will ever know for certain are Heather and her killer if justice was
done. Now at this dark time for her friends and family we can only offer our support
and kind words and gestures so they can heal and become strong again. I just hope
that this communtiy realizes that we are all vulnerable to this sort of tragedy.
Parents should raise their children with more supervision and rules as well as
be strong enough to enforce the rules that are set no matter how our children
may react. Finally, this guestbook is here for Heather and not for inappropriate
comments or remarks, so lets all be mature and make our entries meaningful and
not disregard Heather's memory, her friends, or her family.

Also.....here in the State of California, *A 25year-life sentence also applys
to a conspiracy to commit murder charge if convicted. This is such a travesty
of justice. You can go to prison for talking about killing a child-molester, as
Patrick can for murdering beautiful Heather Marie Carpenter..........

Well,I looked at the picture of this Patrick,and if a picture is worth a thousand
words,his says it all!Kidnapping a beautiful young lady like Heather would be
the only way he could get a girl.Too bad he doesnt qualify for the death penalty,although,that
would just be too easy of a way out for people like him.I think a nice long stint
in an adult prison among the general population of hardened crimanls will be just
the punishment he needs.If hes addicted too sex and that was part of his motive
behind what he did to Heather,he will find plenty of it there in prison,and plenty
of others like him who will be happy too accomodate him,with or without his consent.Gee
maybe if he is ever paroled someday,he will come out as "Patrica"and will not
longer desire too fullfill his sick needs by a young innocent woman.And for the
people who are upset because people are bashing poor little Patrick,I say too
you-I seriously doubt after the long investigation,law enforcement wouldnt have
arrested this little psyco-path if they didnt feel they had enough evidence too
do so.And he will have a chance too be defended in a court of law which is more
than Heather got.Oh you have a right support him if that is your wish however
if it had been your daughter of sister who had suffered at his hands i think you
would have a different opinion.If you want too really do something for "poor little
Patrick",I suggest you send him a case of Preparation-H cause hes gonna need it!

of losing my daughters is always somewhere in the back of my mind. Something like
this chills me and reminds me to appreciate every moment with them, no matter
how trying these teenage years can be. I never met Heather, but I worked with

Many of us are friends of Heather's family and many of us are part of the family.
Please note that this website was madew specifcally for Heather's family to hear
things about her daughter from loved ones, to unite, to let us know that they
are there praying for us at this time and just being there. By stating harsh comments
about the murderer and his family it does not help us one bit. We already know
this and having to read such harsh words can be so hard when we are already going
through so much. So, just know whether "the person with an opinion" is part of
the family or jsut a friend, they were just trying to nicley let you all know
what this is meant for. Thank you so very much. There has been several e-mail
signings of this on here asking you to reply those type of comments onto Lermour's
thing, not Heather's. It shouldn't be that hard to respect that! And yes, you
all are right this is here for you to say what you want to say, but out of the
respect of others... please just watch what you do say. Thank you again.

I just wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to the Carpenter family as they
are struggling with this horrible incident. I worked with Heather at CR Gibbs
and she was one of the best co-workers I have ever had, besides that, she was
a great friend. I am still in shock as to what happened, and cannot believe that
someone could do such a terrible thing. As mentioned before, I have been and will
keep praying for you and Heather. Although it was awful news to hear during the
holiday season, but to think of it this way, at least you have some closure now,
and you know that Heather is smiling down on you, letting you know everything
will be alright. This may sound childish, but whenever my parents go away on trips
and such, they remind me of one of my favorite childhood movies, ET...so just
remember, "Heather is right here." God Bless Love, Courtney

ENTITLE IT "THE SPAWN OF SATAN HOMEPAGE" THEN GO THERE AND POST YOUR BS!! SO THAT
WAY THE PEOPLE THAT LOVED HEATHER DON'T HAVE TO ENDURE YOUR CRAP ABOUT HOW "GOOD"
HE IS... GET A DAMN LIFE!!!! AND BTW...SINCE PATRICK LOVES SEX SO MUCH ITS GOOD
THAT HE'S GOING TO THE RIGHT PLACE FOR IT. I HOPE THEY WEAR HIS SORRY ASS OUT
IN THERE TOO!! AND TO HIS PARENTS, YOU HAVE YOUR NERVE TOO, COMPARING YOUR LOSS
TO THE LOSS OF THE CARPENTERS> I SEE NOW HOWCOME PATRICK IS THE WAY HE IS!! AND
BESIDES THAT MR. LARMOUR YOUR LOSS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THEIRS, YOU KNOW WHERE
YOUR LITTLE CREEP IS AT AND YOU CAN TALK TO HIM. THEY CAN'T EVER TALK TO THEIR
DAUGHTER AGAIN. SO YOU BETTER BACK UP AND DO SOME RE-ASSESING OF THE FACTS HERE
BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH TO MAKE ANOTHER IGNORANT COMMENT LIKE THAT. YOU ALL
MAKE ME ILL!!!

Dear Mr. and Mrs Carpenter: I have posted one message to you only, untill now.
I felt strongly that Heather was taken by the young man that says he dropped her
off and left. Because of the past knowledge I and my family have had, where the
drugs are concerned, I figured there would be some connection. Since your Heather
was found and this drugged up kid has now been arrested, I hope the court throws
the book as far as they can at him. I am glad there will be no death penalty in
this case. I will be happy to see the bad boys in Prison decide who was a more
valuable member of this society, Heather Marie Carpenter, or Patrick who killed
in the home of his parents a beautiful hard working young woman. I have no doubt
his parents feel bad right now, would it be right for them to say otherwise. But
there is no way they can compare their loss with that of Heathers murder! To all
of Heathers friends: You girls all stay strong and make sure Heathers rights are
not forgotten! She was your friend and it's up to you to stand by her now and
always. Never let this be about Patrick and who he was or wasn't, for he is history.
He did that to himself, destroyed his life and the lives of his parents and "FOR
WHAT DID HE GAIN"? My deepest sympathys to the Carpenter family. Friends in Los
Molinos, Ca

I would like to send my utmost apologies to the Carpenter family. I hope you
all know how much support your family has and even though there is no words to
even begin to make the hurt any better just know that she is always with you.
I too, know what it feels like to lose a family member as close as that and i
am praying that the pain eventually lessens. I used to aid at school with Pat
and talked to him every day. I always knew that he was into drugs and used to
tell me things that were strange. I hope you all that are close to Heather find
peace with what has happened and know that this man will never be able to hurt
another girl. Again Iam so sorry and my heart is with heathers family and friends.
Heather is now in a better place and is looking down on you. My deepest sympathies
to all of you.

To the entire Carpenter Family: My prayers are with you and your beautiful
daughter who had not yet really started her life. I'm so sorry for you and to
learn of it at Xmas reminds me of the famous 'Laci Peterson' who was murdered
by her husband 1 year ago. Keep your eyes on him above and he will get you through
this terrible time. May God Bless you all. I pray the next year will be much better
for you all.

I don't think that the Carpenter family should set up another website for Patrick,
I think his family should set one up for him...I would be more than happy to post
my thoughts about Heather on his website. Thoughts such as what a worthless human
beings he and he parents are! He knew that he killer her, and yet he and his family
were bad mouthing Heather every chance they got...taunting the Carpenter family
everytime they came in contact with each other. To have Ed Larmour (owner of Sunshine
Market in Shasta Lake City - let's see how long he stays in business!) give his
condolences to the Carpenter's is outrageous - he, like Patrick, are only sorry
they got caught!

A bueatiful person has been taken from us, and she will always be remembered
as a Princess. My heart goes out to Heathers family and there are no words to
describe the type of saddness that they are experiencing. I worked with Heather
at C.R. Gibbs, and my day seemed to get brighter every time that I was in her
pressence. She just had this uncontrolable glow about her that just made one evoke
a smile. She was beautiful in every sence of the word. Our freindship was cut
short, but I know that she is looking down at all the people that knew her and
loved her she hears our cries. We just have to remeber her for the princess that
she was, because I know that she would not want it any other way. I know that
it is very hard to find anything positve right now, but I am searching for something
that would make me feel better and I know that it could be something that would
make others have something to look at and remember her as she was. I had talked
to Heather about painting murals, and she was always really intersted in seeing
some of my artwork, unfortunatley she was never able to. I would be honered to
paint a huge mural, 100% deticated to Heather. I am looking for a business that
would be willing to donate a huge wall, outside that the mural could be be seen
by lots of people. I am not asking for any money for myself I just need donations
for supplies, wall space, and scaffalting. I cannot think of anything else that
I would rather do for her and her family and friends. Friend, we miss you Heather!

How dare he say that his family is experiencing loss, just like the Carpenter
family. PLEASE!!! What an ignorant man to say such a thing! Pat WILL rot in Hell
for all eternity for the heinous crimes he has committed! I hope that prison justice
takes it's toll on him. He deserves whatever he gets from those loving inmates
that will no doubt make him feel right at home! May he never know another moment
of peace! How can he...living with what he did!

To the Carpenters-I would just like to express my feelings to you, I am so
extremely sorry this horrible situation had to happen to you. You hear stories
everyday about murders but you would never think it would happen to you. I went
to school with Pat Larmour and it scares me to death to think that someone like
him could do such a terrible thing. He seemed like a totally normal person-at
the end of the year I know that he started getting into drugs really bad-its amazing
how they change you. I know that he LOVED sex and would probably do anything for
it, considering that is all he talked about to my friend. I can't believe what
he is sayign about her wanting to have sex with him and she started to get physical-he
makes me want to puke. I would like to say to the unknown person that called in
that that is the best thing you could ever have done, know that the Carpenters
now have closure and im sure they appreciate it more than you know. It makes me
sick to my stomach to know that someone I knew could do such a thing-why dont
people think about others and not just themselves? I am so very sorry about your
loss, I can't imagine how you feel. Just know that everyones thoughts and prayers
are with you everyday and I am happy that you guys now have closure, even though
it turned out how it did. Once again, I cannot tell you enough how sorry for your
loss I am. To everyone who knew Heather.

Try as I may I am struggling with the events of this week, obviously along
with Mt. Shasta who says he logs on every 30 minutes, Ann, seems to think Detectives
made that famous "Rush To Judgement" and friends of Ms. Heathers. Well, to believe
there has been a false arrest, you really have to believe in Santa! First of all,
Ann, your saying the brave soul that called Secret Witness is a liar and has fabricated
and concocted a plan to point the finger at Pat? That's what your saying. Heather
was with "Pat" when she was scooped up by those aliens that live up there under
Mt. Shasta, right? And the fact that these Detectives sworn to uphold the law,
accepted false information to make an arrest, even though such information took
them right to where Heathers remains were found. So what is it that has you confused
out there? A deep abiding affection for this young man, a hatred for the law,
yes, prove I'm guilty,because I'm innocent until you do! Liberals all over think
that way........A rush to judgement! Santa is angry!

thank you, we would like to convey our deepest gratitude! YOU ARE OUR HERO! You
knew the information for such a short amount of time...and then came forward,
even at the risk of your safety and friendships. You show an incredible amount
of maturity and compassion by your actions. Your parents must be incredibly proud
to have raised a woman of your strength and character! You have given new meaning
to humanity, with all that Patrick has taken away...you have given back! My hope
is that you would have known Heather better...as you show many of her wonderful
qualities. This is the greatest gift that you could have given us this holiday
season, and I hope you know that you will always remain in our hearts. Thank you!

Im truely amazed this kid is saying what he is saying, does he think for a
second anyone will buy it? Heather was a beautiful girl, what guy wouldnt want
to be with her? My heart goes out to the family at this time who have to hear
such utter BS from some punk kid who thinks he can choke someone because they
didnt give in. Patrick you shame your family and friends and anyone who knows
you with your lies. But more so you hurt her family more. Take your punishment
and know where your going in this life and the afterlife. Im glad we got this
guy before he could do this to others. And to the lamour family, your hurting
too? It was your son who caused the pain...Dont even think that saying your hurting
too is the same as her family. The fact you would even comment on it is outrageous
as well. Now let justice be served and let lessons be learned to any one who thinks
they can take advantage of anyone and get away with it.

mutual friends. She was a great lady. Now, consider her friends. They have been
in much pain. I think it is time to apologize to Isaac for the pain that your
relentless hounding has caused in his life. He did nothing but love and care for
Heather. I say thank you Isaac, for being such a good friend to Heather. She was
lucky to have you, as we were lucky to have her. Now, may we all find peace.

As the horror SPILLS into another day-terrified by his reason-made only with
the cheap attempt to survive the selfish impulses of this parasite-WE ALL KNOW
her story can never be covered up and not one single negative thought has the
chance to fade the innocence of Heathers wings-do not let the endless supply of
hallow words echo in your hearts-we need to disregard the piercing pain that continues
to unfold before us-let our stinging eyes bleed love for her as she remains as
the lighthouse of love that blinds us-bursting with intensity, she is that tangible
gift from above-captivating to all who choose to see-this gift can never be replaced
by justice or any other word-let our experiences as significant as they are be
our reality-this ripple affect will never loose its meaning-I fill this space
with the emotions I feel from my interactions and the positive perception that
she washes over me-I can feel her raining down upon us with the burning desire
to rinse us off- with no doubt we need to keep our eyes fixed on her higher purpose
to find our sanity- we’ve been touched by an angel-listen for her encouraging
whispers to carry us on- there is no need to dish out any more contagious unexplainable
pain- lets relish in her charismatic inspiration for life!-put an end to the observations-no
need to hold onto guilt-we don’t contain enough power to paint a different
conclusion-so stop with the “should haves”, “wish I would have”,
and the unnecessary “could haves”-because in all sincerity we only have
hindsight now-SO inhale our chance to be guided by her light-drift in her peace
that will wash us to shore-exhale our most loving and sacred memories of happiness-so
we can treasure Heather and her beauty in all of our waking moments.

To the Carpenters: My heart is very heavy as I write to you. I don't now how
you feel or can pretend to understand the feelings you are experiencing through
this loss. I can only imagine how difficult this must be. I think feelings like
hate would be much stronger now. How could anyone do such a thing? It's way beyond
my ablity to comprehend. I am so sorry this happened to such a beautiful, vivacious
women. A tremendous loss to so many. I don't think this is something you can ever
get over. The emptiness will always be there. Just know that so many people are
griefing with you and love you all so much. You are such kind people, that would
never hurt anyone. I guess we have to accept that we will never know why? Know
that my thoughts are with you daily and that if you ever need a place to stay,
money or anything I have that can help it's there for you. I will pray for you
all everyday that peace will be with you. Heather it is not right that your life
was shortened here on earth. You are missed by so many. Yes we are sad and will
be for a long time. We know you don't want that but it's the only way to feel
when something like this happens. Time will help heal these feelings but nothing
can make them go away completely. God Bless! Penny Cichy

Dear Family and Friends, While I did not know Heather personally, I remember
seeing her bright face around town from time to time. I cannot imagine why anyone
would want to physically harm her. I am hearing so many comments from soo many
people, I can only imagine what you are all going through. I lost a High school
friend a few years back due to a head on collision with a drunk driver. When I
heard the news I was in denial for months even at the memorial I could not make
myself believe that I was really there. One night reality set in and it set in
hard. None of us know our days here on earth and we need to count each one as
a blessing. I learned from that moment on that my life and my loved ones lives
are sooooo precious. Every spare minute I get I spend with my loved ones. Being
the same age as your daughter made me realize I am not safe anywhere I go. I have
been following this story and sent out many e-mails to my friends all over to
get her picture out. One side of me is releived that you all can now find closure,
yet another part of me is filled with anger that she is no longer with you all.
I pray for peace and comfort for you all. Take time to mourn your daughter, grandaughter,
neice, cousin, sister, friend, co-worker; but don't forget to hold tight to the
many smiles she put on each of your faces. Heather's life will not be forgotten
in my life, and I only hope that the days ahead will grow calmer for all of you.
Have peace in knowing that Heather is in a better place looking down on each of
you. Count her as your own personal Guardian Angel, and rest assured you will
see her soon if you only believe. God Bless you all, and strength be with you.

To K.W and J.S.......Don't try to understand what Pat was thinking or not thinking
when he drove away with Heather that day. Who he was growing up, what he appeared
to be or not be in your eyes, is not who he was deep inside. It will drive you
crazy trying to understand it! He may still be in denial, his family is absolutely
no doubt trying to figure their son out, the truth may never show itself. People
around his family and friends will still support him no matter how repugnant his
actions have been. They will talk to eachother, say "no way, that's just not possible",
not our Patrick. Life has changed for all of you forever, just as it has for Heathers
family and friends! He may have been a loving, sweet kid once, but my guess is
he's in reality a disturbed individual, sickened by his own actions! Help his
family adjust to the new Patrick. (Assuming he is Guilty) to be sure! It will
help no one to be in fantasy land at this point. The victim was Heather, that's
REALITY!! There is where your thoughts need to be from here on out. Heather is
not here anymore, Patricks family and friends will be able to visit him in prison,
hold his hand, give him a hug, kiss his cheek, send him books to read, care packages
with candy and goodies to enjoy, he'll listen to music, watch tv. Heathers rights
are GONE! So understand this and deal with it. That is the reality!

Dear family; As your trying to come to terms with the reality that has blasted
you off your feet, accepting all these lovely good wishes from around the world,
you have to continue to eat and sleep and care for eachother. I am hoping if Patrick
is responsible for Heathers death, that he admits it to his attorney and accepts
a sentence of life in prison to save you the horror of a trial. His family is
going to experience severe panic ahead as well and it would be best for him to
go away from our area sooner than later. This has been a profound tragedy not
only for your family but for this community as well. The healing process has begun
for your family and all of Heathers friends, there won't be a moment to escape
the emptiness you'll feel for sometime to come, but you know someday peace will
wrap its arms around you. My family in Alaska that has been keeping track of an
outcome to Heathers case wishes the best for all of you. From my son Justin and
myself, we will never forget your struggle and determination to find Heather.
Before I say good-bye, "Heathers Tree", people are asking? Through the Holidays
it remains lit.......Off....To return during the trial......off after a conviction......Back
every year till the day I myself Crossover, always "Heathers Tree". Never will
Heather be forgotten in Happy Valley, All My Love Goes Out To Each Of You! GOD
BLESS

I can not say "I know how you feel". I don't. I can not say "I can IMAGINE
how you feel". I don't wish to even think about it . I do have children. I do
have a brother. I do have friends who are as special to me , as I know Heather
was to many. I can only say you have my prayers, and if I could find a way to
give it to you, her family and friends, the biggest Hug I could manage. God Bless
you all, I am so sorry :(

We all know HEATHER- for every time you can recall a blissful burst of excitement
for life-(she is that spirit) to all that are stimulated and intrigued by natures
beauty-(she is that feeling) to all that hand out smiles-(she lingers behind your
eyes) for every time you have held a love one (she is that warmth) for every time
you have enjoyed simplicity-(she was there) for all of us who have lost-(she was
it) for all that wish to live a life filled with love and laughter-(she is there)
HEATHER is “OUR” Angel-a messenger of love and reminder of life-Remember
what living life tastes like and you will be with her-Remember to embrace the
beauty of life and you will see her-Remember to consciously indulge in the company
of others and you will feel her-Remember that you touch the lives of many and
you will be with her. I was at Heathers house for a BBQ a few weeks before she
vanished- she had stopped dead in her tracks, as she was walking past me, she
acted almost as though she was startled by my presents- then she excitedly asked
how I was with an exclamation point at the end. And then I felt this heavy contagious
smile fall over me filled with sincerity that will forever infect my mind. I MISS
HER-while hung by the ambiguity-she came to me in the dream-I saw her-vividly
drifting in peace- and I felt her presence- she has coated my heart for eternity-
I thank each one of you for individually shaping her life-I send much love, a
personal gratitude and thanks to the immediate friends and family that have built
their lives with her-she will always be a piece of my reality!

We are deeply saddened by your loss. When we heard the news, I had to go to
the University here and take down the fliers. As much as it pained me, I know
that she is in a better place now. Not only will you have an angel atop your tree
for the holidays, but in your hearts forever as well. As much as it doesn't make
the pain go away, know she is always with you! Shedding tears in Alaska for you,

I would just like to say that I'm terribly sorry that this tradgedy happened.
My girlfriend worked with and hung out with Heather on various occasions and I
can remember going in to Cheesecakes and seeing her beautiful smile. She was always
one of the first to greet me and ask how I was. I wish now that I wouldn't have
kept things always so simple, with just an o.k. or I'm fine. She had an obvious
care for people and that I admired. In fact through all of this I think I will
make a change in my own life to be a little more like her. I hope the best for
the Carpenters who have endured a lot of pain and may God Bless Them.

Ed, I don't know if you remember me, but back in the mid 90s me and my friend
Andy Allison used to hang out at the Sun Oaks as a part of our daily summer routine.
We would always anticipate seeing Heather and Lisa there. We came over to your
house a few times and drank all of your soda. Those were good times. I hope you
will isolate the good times you and your family shared together and make them
a fixture in your everyday life. Remembering the goods times was the only thing
that helped me make sense out of the devastation when we lost Andy. Stay positive
and believe that the Heather gave you personal happiness in Life and she can do
the same in memory.

To the Carpenter family, We are so very sorry for your loss, but thankful Heather
was found. We also know the pain of loosing to such brutality and the fight all
the way to see that justice was done. It was a night marish fog that turned us
inside out. But we managed to get through it one little step at a time & by being
there for each other. You will also get through this and learn to cope in your
own way. Our family will be keeping yours in our thoughts & prayers.

Dear Ed Cydney, Chris, Heidi, Doug and Betty, My heart is breaking at what
you are going through right now! I am so very sorry that she wasn't able to come
home to you......but now she is really home with her Creator and King and we know
that He will take very good care of her until we can see her again. She has gone
on before us, and I know that the Lord will bring comfort and healing to your
heavey hearts in time. I know that the sweet person she grew into be will bring
you wonderful fond memories to carry you through the difficult times. Lord hold
this family close in your arms and grant them your mercy and grace. Hold each
other dear family and share every moment that you can. Know that someday we will
understand why there was so much evil in this world. I know it will be so difficult
to pull your lives back together, but please, please go on for each other, she
would have wanted you to. Love and hugs to all of you, Diane Moran

A member of our family works for a prayer ministry.They get calls from people
all over the USA.I financially wont be able too buy the gifts I had wanted too
for the holliday and it saddened me until our family member came by today with
tears in her eyes.She said she had received a call from an 8 year old boy whose
ony request was "can you send me food?" An 85 year old woman called too say that
she was alone for Christmas,her nephew passed with a terminal illness not long
ago.Many have lost their jobs,homes and are in dire straits.With the holliday
approaching and we are celebrating let us not forget those among us who are less
forntuate and for whatever reason,will not be included in the holliday cheer.Thank
The Lord for having food if you have it,a warm place too lay your head and someone
next too you too love and be loved.Never feel that you do not have enough when
there is those who have nothing.Please remember those who dont in your prayers.May
God Bless us all.Carole

One more quick thought. This website IN IT'S ENTIRETY should remain up and
running for years to come, lest no one ever forget what happened. At least leave
it up through the incarceration of the kid who did this. Take it down when he
gets his final reward in prison, as one inmate who wrote in said he will.

When the paper said remains were found the other day at dog creek, and it didn't
appear to be connected to Heather, of course I was still optomistic that Heather
was still alive. Whoda thunk that only a short time later, the headline in the
searchlight would say "Heather found, teen arrested". I had to drop in 2 quarters
to get the paper, only to find that, yeah, she'd been found, but not in the way
we all had hoped. My heart goes out to the family, and all of Heather's friends.
I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I could tell from her picture that
she was one special lady. This world is just getting way too out of hand, and
it's a shame that Heather had to get caught up in the madness. My thoughts will
always be with you, the family of Heather, and I hope that just knowing....even
that she's not coming back will help you get on with things....as I'm sure Heather
would have wanted you to. Your loss is tragic and unfortunate, but now you have
what alot of other families wish they DID have.... knowledge of just where their
child IS. I really feel for you, but more so for those parents who NEVER find
out what happened to their child. In that respect, you're quite lucky. They even
have someone arrested for it. Some parents never even get THAT. The most notable
of whom is Chandra Levy's parents. They know she's gone, but will probably never
know what happened. Justine's parents, in Auburn, are in the same place you are....knowing,
and someone arrested. Now lets just hope that justice will prevail, and that the
person arrested actually IS the person responsible. All I can say in closing is
live life to the fullest, because you never know when it will be snatched from
you. Heather will always be in your heart to guide you.

No words could ever ease the pain the Carpenter family must be enduring at
this time, but I sincerely hope that they will at least find some peace in knowing
that their little girl was loved by so many. I only met Heather in passing during
the time she was employed at Cheesecakes, but I remeber her always smiling...always
happy to help. My heart and thoughts are with the Carpenter family, and may justice
be served.

I am truly sorry for the loss of Heather. From what I have learned while following
this case, she was a very sweet, compassionate, and beautiful woman. I am originally
from Shasta Lake and in the same age group as Heather, so hearing about this hit
close to home. I live within blocks to the home that Laci & Scott Peterson shared.
Our community has grived greatly from that tradegy, and I can only hope that Redding
comes together the same. I am baffled by what these "monsters" think they can
get away with. First Laci Peterson, and now Heather, these men need to sit in
a cell for the rest of their lives thinking about the ones they have took from
this Earth. I am clueless as to how at the age of 17 this boy was out partying
at that hour? At 17, most have curfews, with rules regarding their vehicles. Not
only is this boy responsible for his actions, but the parents are also to blame.
17 year old's without rules, and punishments will not hesitate to see what they
can get away with. This "boy" took a life of a beautiful woman, with so much to
live for. My heart and prayers are with you. I hope that you are able to bring
closure to this horrid pain, and rest knowing that Heather is up above staring
down at all you do. I am sorry that you were not able to see Heather's wedding,
children, and accomplishments. But please, do not stop from living your life.
I'm sure Heather would not want that.

First off to the carpenter family I am very sorry for your loss. I am a 17
year old girl here in Redding and it scares me very much to know that this has
happened. Stay strong, and keep eachother close. But please keep in mind that
in this country, though nobody remembers this anymore, the accused is innocent
until proven guilty. I don't know if pat did this or not but the endless threats
of hurting him are not going to make this any better. If he is guilty then he
deserves his punishment. But until he is proven guilty, stop the threats and stop
the assuming these hurt his family and friends more than him and they derserve
no punishment for what he might have done. Pat cannot here any of these threats
so stop! Friends, family and others who are hurt by the new information on heather
please keep in mind that pats family and friends are hurting too. Thank you. Stay
strong and remember that the town of redding will never let the memory of your
daughter die.

I am a friend of Ed and Cydneys from the red lion hotel. My sincer condolences
are with you two as well as your family. Like that article said Heather is an
angel sent from god to make our lives so happy. She was sent here with her with
parents and her family for a reason. It takes special people to be parents, sisters
and brothers and that is why God chose her family. Heather is much happier now
and the sicko who did this will pay. I love all of you... and may time heal.

Our deepest and sincerest feelings go out to all of the members of the Carpenter
family and to the greater Redding community. Our families work together, play
together and at this sad time, grieve together because of our loss. It was stated
in an earlier post that the eyes of the entire community today showed great sadness
and while true, this also shows the solidarity of this community. Our children
are part of the "family" of our community and to have lost one of "our" children,
especially under such tragic circumstances can shake our faith to its very foundation,
but we cannot allow that to happen. Rely on that "family" for strength, as well
as the strength of God's love; never doubt your love for either. May God bless
you and be with you during this time. Our hearts and our prayers are with you
and will continue to be with you.

Lisa Buwalda, my daughter, went to school with Heather and has been profoundly
moved by her loss. I have no words of my own, so I will borrow these....... :Stop
all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy
bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin, let the
mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead scribbling on the sky The
message 'He is dead' Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my north, my south,
my east and west My working week and my Sunday rest My noon, my midnight My talk,
my song; I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong. The stars are not
wanted now; put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun pour away
the ocean and sweep up the wood For nothing now can ever come to any good: W.H.

Just seeing her pictures makes you feel good, and I bet knowing her would have
been much better. For almost 5 months your daughters pictures have hung in countless
stores and I myself have taken plenty of looks at them. I wish that bad things
didn't happen to good people. I'm sorry for your great loss, and I know that no
matter what I say or others say it won't bring her back. I just hope you know
that no matter where you guys are she will be with you, and she will forever shine
on in your hearts. I also would like to say that I hope Pat pays the price. I
went to school with him but never knew him. It makes me ill just knowing that
we walked the same halls. I hope that he gets the highest punishment that is possible,
and that he never walks among good people like your daughter again. Heather can
now rest in peace, she deserves it!

I didn't know Heather, but as a mother, a sister and a friend, her story has
touched me since the beginning. I want you, her family to know that I have prayed
for Heather and I will pray for you now. It may not be of great comfort but I
needed to express how sorry I am for your loss and how beautiful a human being
Heather must be to touch the life of complete strangers. I won't presume to know
your grief but somehow I feel that a Christmas on earth must be nothing to the
celebration that Heather must be having in the comfort of our Savior and how He
must be so overjoyed to have her in heaven with him waiting until you can be together
again. Thank you for sharing what must be so difficult. Though, as I've said I
did not know Heather, she will not be forgotten and neither will you in my heart.
May God bless you and give you peace. Stephanie

Dear Carpenter Family, Friends and the Redding Community, I have been pondering
for a few hours on what to write. It was then I had just read where Heather had
been found. I have been to this site and the Record Searchlight everyday since
Heather was reported missing. A e-mail friend in Chico sent me the info on Heather
because her husband worked with or knew Chris. I have prayed and will continue
to pray for all those involved, like many others who have signed. I encourage
the family to draw strength from these entries. There is so much love and support
in them from people you know and dont know. Keep close to the Lord, he will bring
you through this. I wish I would of had the chance to know Heather. She sounds
like someone I would of loved to have in my life. Out of all the millions of people
in the US and in the world, I will never forget Heather Carpenter. Much love and
prayers.

To the Carpenter family; I wish you peace and love as you go through this difficult
time, as you can see your family has touched so many lives and we all have you
in our thoughts and prayers. When my daughter Sarah started at NCCS in '93, Heather
and Stephanie opened their arms and welcomed her into their group of friends.
Sarah has told me the story of Heather's much-loved Raisin Lipstick, she always
brought it to school and all the girls would share it.I really don't know what
to say to comfort you,just know that we all care and that Heather will always
be here in spirit- she will never be forgotten.

All my thoughts are with the Carpenter Family today. I believe the entire community,
and many around the world feel as if they came to know Heather through that beautiful
photo displayed and we will all miss her. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
My husband was involved in the investigation into Heather's disappearance and
I can assure you, they all worked countless hours and it weighed heavily on their
hearts and minds. I hope that the effort that all people of our community contributed
and that brave person who made the call to Secret Witness will bring you some
sense of closure now, even though it was not one any one of us had hoped for the
outcome to be. You obviously are a very loved family and I hope you know that
we are all praying for you. God Bless.

I would hope that the reward money in Heather's case,if not claimed, should
be donated to either the Redding Police Department to insure that the City of
Redding continues to have the resourses it needs to counter-act such crimes in
the future, or that it be donated to the Carpenter family.. Just a thought.

Dirge without Music Edna St. Vincent Millay I am not resigned to the shutting
away of loving hearts in the hard ground. So it is, and so it will be, for so
it has been, time out of mind: Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely.
Crowned With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned. Lovers and
thinkers, into the earth with you. Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew, A formula, a phrase remains, ---
but the best is lost. The answers quick & keen, the honest look, the laughter,
the love, They are gone. They have gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled
Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve. More precious
was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world. Down, down, down into
the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know. But I do not approve.
And I am not resigned.

Here is a poem I received when my husband passed away. I'd like to share it
and hope it can help for all of you.It helps me and my daughter.. "If tomorrow
starts without me" When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish
so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And
each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts
without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And
took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that
I'd have to leave behind All of those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to
die. I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the
bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive
yesterday, just even for awhile, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you
smile. But then I fully realized, That this could never be.... we love you heather.

Its not fair! I will always have memories of heather stephanie and I during north
cow creek school days! they really made me feel welcome coming into a very small
school. her laugh will always be with all of us who knew her and know shes smiling
down on all of us telling us shes okay now! god bless you all!

Dear Carpenter family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I had prayed that
Heather would be found and brought home safe. Know that there are thousands of
people that are sending their thoughts and prayers to you. Here is a poem that
I came across on Laci's website. I hope that it helps to bring you some comfort
during this most difficult Holiday Season. God Bless you all. L. First Christmas
in Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, With tiny
lights, like Heaven’s stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away that tear, For I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this
year. I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond
description to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain
in your heart, But I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart. So be happy
for me dear one, you know I hold you dear, And be glad I’m spending Christmas
with Jesus this year. I send you a gift from my heavenly house above, I send you
a great memory of my truly undying love. After all “LOVE” is the gift
more precious than pure gold, It was always the most important in the stories
Jesus told. Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do, For I can’t
count the blessings of love he has for you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe
away your tears, Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

To the family of Heather, I have ask my mother to post this message for me.
I have been incarcerated for 8 years. I cannot be there to offer help or support
in person, but I want you to know that from the moment your beautiful daughter
went missing, a lot of fellow inmates and myself have been praying for her safe
return. I am so sorry this happened to your girl. I am forced to spend my days
unfortunately with men that have committed such crimes against women. I have received
many write-ups for causing bodily injuries to such inmates. There is even a code
of conduct here in a level-4 state prison. If you hurt women and children you
get no respect! I have been receiving letters about Heather, news clippings, and
have called my mother at times just to see if she had been found? I am speaking
for a lot of cellmates when I tell you we are all very sorry for your pain and
the loss of Heather. Please hold your heads high through this trial, this person
being charged as an adult will receive the maximum sentence Shasta County Courts
allow. When Patrick Larmour arrives at one of the many State Prisons, he will
be on a sensitive needs yard, afforded slight protection only! So trust me, there
will be no place for him to hide or women for him to hurt ever again! God Bless

You were there on the days when I was so happy I felt as though I could fly. You

made the happy days even brighter and brought a sweetness even to the saddest

of your support and understanding is stronger than the memory of my pain. Thank
you for always being there for me, and for being my family. My love always,

will be with you and will help you through this somehow. Larry and I wish we could
shoulder some of the pain ourselves for you. I have daughters too, and I cannot
imagine what you are going through. May the peace of Christmas fill your hearts

you. May God bless you and give you strength. You will continue to be in our prayers.

I would just like to say how sorry I am for this bittersweet finding of Heather.
Before the holidays, this is not gift you would like to have under the tree. My
husband Ryan is in the Navy(over seas)and when we came home in Sept. he was shocked
to know that he knew Heather from friends and school, and that she was missing.
He hoped when we left that she would be found safely, when I heard the news last
night via record searchlight on line, I emailed him and he asked me to send you
"his sorries". I wish you players for the holidays and that you can lean on eachother
for the strength to get through this, just know that Heather is up above watching
down on you at this time and hugging all of you as you grieve! We will miss you
Heather!!!

It is with a very sad heart that I write this message to you, the devoted family
& friends of Heather. I can't quite fathom the depth of your pain. Heather's disappearance
affected our whole community in a way that is somthing to be admired. Such a horrible
occurence brought together people & has had a huge impact on how people relate
to each other now. I don't go anywhere in town without seeing Heathers adorable
face in the window. Conversations around town still revolve around "our Heather".
The whole city has adopted her as our own & we feel the loss today now that she
has been found. I only knew Heather by frequenting Cheesecakes but I feel deep
sadness since I have grown quite attached to her over the last 5 months. The family
& friends' outpouring of love & devotion endeared her to us. I feel like I knew
her & loved her. I wish for you & your family to have great strength in this very
trying time. I hope that you become an even more bonded family as a result of
this & you live your lives to the fullest each day in Heather's memory. I know
that I will. I, like many who have written, also tell my friends & family I love
them more now & appreciate life more. This is a tragedy that nobody should ever
have to endure & my heart goes out to you all. A wasted life, such a young, talented,
beautiful woman who made such a huge impression on many people in the short amount
of time she lived. She continues to make an impression, even in death, she has
touched so many lives, united communities & she will be missed. We may never know
why this happened but at least we know she is safe now & can start the healing
process. Thank you for allowing us to know more about Heather & giving us the
opportunity to see just how special she was through your stories. Hopefully it
will help lessen your grief by sharing it with all of us that grieve with you.
This is a bittersweet Holiday for you I am sure. Take comfort in whatever you
can to get through this, we are thinking about you, always! Now we must shift
our thoughts from bringing Heather home to bringing her justice. My family & I
send our positive thoughts & hope they help you in some small way.

To the Carpenter family...with 3 children of our own and grandchildren, I try
hard to imagine your pain with the loss of Heather. She sounds like she was a
great daughter and sister. Our prayers are with your entire family at this very
difficult time. We have followed the search for heather the entire time and of
course were hoping it would not end this way. We also are comforted to at least
know she has been found and the person responsible has been caught and will receive
his punishment. god bless your family.

When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love; you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I
thank you for the love you each have shown, but now, it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted
by trust. It is only for a time that we must be apart, So bless the memories within
your hearts. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and
I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen
with your heart, you'll hear All my love around you soft and clear. And then,
when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and say "Welcome
Home."

Our family aches for you, as we have for months now. I hope you are able to
take even a shred of comfort in seeing how broad a group of people are pulling
for you. I hope you can feel that energy. Heather's picture has been a permanent
fixture in Northern California---you couldn't go anywhere without seeing her picture
and I applaud the people that went to such great lengths getting her face out
there. This is such a tragedy and as a new mom to a little girl, it hits us close
to home. There is no way this could have been prevented or forseen. This could
be any of our daughters (or sons) and random violence isn't unheard of. In such
a quiet community, it really rattles the core of all of us and this sort of senseless
act will not be tolerated. I pray you are able to find peace in knowing Heather
is resting. And I pray you can feel the arms of the nation embracing you.

Please don't mourn for me; I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right
by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay. My body
is gone but I'm always near I'm everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is
free, but I'll never depart as long as you keep me alive in your heart. I'll never
wander out of your sight-- I'm the brightest star on a hot summers night. I'll
never be beyond your reach-- I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around, And the pure white snow that blankets
the ground. I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond-- The clear cool
water in a quiet pond. I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring;
The first warm raindrop that April will bring. I'm the first ray of light when
the sun starts to shine, And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine. When
you start thinking there's no one to love you, You can talk to me through the
Lord above you. I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, And you'll
feel my presence in the soft summer breeze. I'm the hot salty tears that flow
when you weep And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep. I'm the smile
you see on a baby's young face. Just look for me, for I am everyplace!
My deepest condolances <My
thoughts are with the Carpernter family>

In the dew that covers roses, glistening in the sun. Shes the whisper of the
wind when autumns justs begun. Refreashing as the path of a graceful gliding swan.
See her in the glowing sky that warms the earth at dawn. Forever young and lovely
eternally, for all time. Taken to young her luminous soul without reason, without
ryme. Don't wallow around sadley, from her fleash her spirit has been gone. This
poem is to tell you that her spirits living on. You may hear her on a rainy day
when grey skies cloud the air. No matter what makes you remember her just know
that she is there. You may feel a warm comforter on the perfect sunny day. Shes
an angel sent to guide you when you have gone astray. She's the brightest star
on the darkest dreary night. Remembering her laughter and her spirit full of light.
God always needs more Angels, with her he has been blessed. In his strong and
gentel arms may her spirit find some rest. When the tears will not stop flowing
and the pain is more than you can bear, Picture Heather up in heaven and know
that she is there. Dearest Carpenters, I wish I had the pleasure of knowing your
enchanting daughter. I however do have the pleasure of knowing Jesus Christ. It
makes me sick to hear about such evil and have it hit so close to home. I prey
that the Holy Spirit will come over you soothing your pain. Placeing peace into
your hearts and closure in your minds.

From the moment Heather's disapearance was announced in August, she has been
in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Although the news of her whereabouts is devastating,
i find comfort in knowing Heather is in heaven looking down on all of us today.
I have so many wonderful memories of Heather's beautiful smile when I look back
on our times at North Cow Creek and Foothill together. Heather was the most caring
and tender friend and she truely had the biggest heart. I pray her family finds
comfort in her memories at this sad time and I pray that justice will be done
to her murderer. I will always remember Heather and the joy she brought into the
lives of all she touched. Heather will always cast a bright light down on all
of us from heaven. She was a wonderful friend and a beautiful person. I will always
love you Heather!

Dear Carpenter Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I cannot say enough
about Heather's beautiful spirit. I, too, remember North Cow Creek Elementary
years, as well as Foothill High years, in which Heather was a friend to EVERYONE.
She is so beautiful, inside and out. She's with God now, smiling down on those
that she loved and that loved her back. I am sorry that this comes before the
holidays, but now we can all begin to celebrate the life of Heather Marie Carpenter,
who was an angel on Earth. God bless you, and God bless the person who had the
courage to come forward so that Heather would be found.

A beautiful girl With soul so bright, And hair of gold Has found the light.
In sadness weep But know she stays, Within your hearts In deep felt ways. Her
life was brief Love shared was not, Every life she touched In her web gently caught.
Each golden strand Has around you wound, When the pain is deep In its strength
find your ground. The love and the joy Heather shared on this earth; In that find
your peace, It is the legacy of her worth. ******************** Written and offered
in deep sympathy. My husband and I saw your lovely daughter at work just before

Bitter sweet indeed. Words cannot convey how any of us feel with this horrific
situation. As many of you have so eloquently written, Heather is home, Heather
is safe, Heather is in Heaven, and Heather is now watching over her family and
friends. If I may, I would like to share a little story. Just after Heather’s
abduction in early August, I climbed Mount Shasta. With a team of seven, I was
the only person to reach the summit at 14,162 feet. In my backpack, I carried
with me one of Heather’s flyers, several articles, and a handful of the wallet-size
missing person cards. Upon reaching the guestbook at the top, I placed a flyer
and signed the book pleaing to the heavens for Heather’s return and cried
for a person I did not even know. I cried for Heidi and Chris who were missing
a sister. At the time, it was the highest place I could post a flyer for Heather.
But now, as we all know, she is much higher. She is with her God in Heaven, a
place much higher and much more powerful than any mountain any of us could climb.
I pray for Ed and Cydney who I was so fortunate to meet as we searched for their
daughter. I was impressed with their determination and will of the entire Carpenter
family. God will be with you as you struggle through this difficult time. God
Bless the Redding Police Department who despite so much pressure from the community,
solved this crime with dignity and grace. Even when many of us doubted your determination
and resolve, you ultimately brought Heather home by your undeniable commitment.
God bless the work you do. Finally, I would like to thank the webmaster and members
of this guestbook who kept the faith and never gave the Carpenters reason to give
up. We were “concerned” and “relentless” and “afraid,”
but ultimately Heather was found. Once again, God Bless the Carpenter family and
Redding community. Let the healing process begin.

We were tormented daily, being called the "Nerd Herd", constantly harrassed.
Even a boy that had been my boyfriend one month was throwing things at me the
next month chanting "Tag the dog". I would come home every day in tears. When
I look back on this I remember that out of about 28 people, your Heather was THE
only one that never made fun of us or embarrassed us. I wish that I had gotten
the chance to get to know her better. She was always a very classy and mature
girl. I can still hear her sitting in the back of the classroom, always laughing...I'll
probably always remember her laugh forever now. I just want you to know how many
of our lives she touched, even in a very simply way. I pray for your family and
also that justice is done. God Bless You.

I don't really know what to say. I am in shock still. I cannot imagine the

can be done. I thought I would share with you a little that I knew about Heather.
I went to North Cow Creek school with her and then onto Foothill High School.
In junior high I went through a very trying time, trying to figure out who I was
and analyzing the friends that I had. I didn't like the group of friends that
I had anymore. I felt like they were a snobbish and didn't care about the same
things that I did. So, I changed groups of friends and starting creating friendships
with other people. Cow Creek is a small school so everyone knew your business
there. The friendships I created were with the girls that weren't so popular.

I am relieved that they have found your daughter, and that the grieving can
begin. I didn't knoow her, but I did know Tera Smith, and I have seen how difficult
it is for the friends and family to not know. It is important to remember that
in America people are innocent until proven gulity. Pat also has this right. If
it turns out that he was involved, then he deserves to be punished, but until
that day, he is just a suspect... My heart goes out to both families, the Carpenter's
as well as the Larmour's, as I am sure they are both in shock and disbelief. May

I am so sorry and I will continue to pray for your family. I am in disgust to
know that there are such evil people in this world. Whoever did this to Heather
is really the one who needs prayers! I will never forget Heather's airheadedness

This poem helps me through the tough times and I want to share it with you
at this time: One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the
beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene,
he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other
to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back
at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his
life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at
the very lowest and saddest times of his life. This really bothered him and he
questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome
times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why
when I needed you the most you would leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious,
precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial
and suffering, when you only see one set of footprints, it was then that I carried
you." I pray that the Lord will carry you through this time in your lives and
I picture him holding your precious daughter in his arms to comfort her as she
went through this ordeal. Now she is in a better place helping to watch over you
and your family during your times of grief.

has been there for some time now. When she looks down upon this sometimes cruel
world she cannot help but see through the gray clouds--to realize the immense
love there is for her and her wonderful family. From now on she lives there and
in our hearts. She is still loved and so are you. When you think of her, smile
sometimes--she always had the effect on people to make them smile. As she is looking
down she sees we can cry for her too, but she will always have the key to make
us smile, sometimes. Love and tears today for you and for Heather. Joe

Dearest Carpenter Family: I know this is not the happy ending we were all hoping
for, but at least it is an end. Hopefully it will be the beginning of the end
of this terrible nightmare for all of you as the person responsible is held accountable
for his heinous act. Although it is sickening to think that someone (especially
someone so young) could do this to someone as beautiful and sweet as Heather,
don't lose faith in humanity no matter how tempting it should be. There is so
much love for you throughout the Redding community and accross the United States.
Heather has touched so many lives and her legend will live on in all of our hearts
forever. May peace be with you throughout this holiday season. We love you.

hurting anymore as she is with God now...She will always be in our hearts and
we will never forget her..

Good morning Heather... How are you? What is God up to? Just a note to let
you know that there is A LOT of people (including me) who is so incredibly happy
to know that your body has been found and the predator has been caught. You've
been watching over us for a while, but if you can have a chat with God please
encourage him to make the sun shine a bit brighter today, as it's a time for us
to rejoice in your life and laugh at our memories. Always know that your spirit
and joy inspires me still and you will live on forever. Please be good in heaven
(no toilet papering the pearly gates!) and feel free to wrap your arms around
us often. With all my love...

Peace be with you today. Remember, God is alive and well and active. Evil cannot
destroy goodness. In less than one second, God can restore Heather to the Heather
you once knew. Your Heather is an Angel on the other side now. Prayer is the common
denominator between God, Heather and you. I prayed that Heather would be returned
to you before Christmas. Her Spirit is with you today. Heather is in God's care.
Give thanks to God. Peace be with you today.

I just heard the news today and I began to hurt. It was not the type of hurt
that is acute but rather a deep hurt - not physical, not emotional but a hurting
of the spirit, of the soul. I have read about Heather for about a month and was
praying that she was still alive - now knowing that this woman has been denyed
her future really makes me wonder about humanity. She should be here, enjoying
the good & bad that life has to offer - not the evil. To the family - I am so
sorry, she was a beautiful woman with a family that was strong enough raise awarness
about their loved one. It needs to be known that your efforts were not in vain.
I pray you have peace of mind, I pray you have strength, I pray you have mercy
, I pray you have miracles

Dear Carpenter family,We just learned tonight that Heather had been found.We
are so very,very sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you
for strength and comfort.I would personally like too thank all the wonderful people
who visited this website too give support and know that this website has been
a beautiful tribute too Heather.Although all is not known about what has unfolded
concerning the case,thankyou too the person who contacted the secret witness program
and helped too return Heather too her family and the guilty party too justice.You
can be at peace now knowing that you did the right thing.The Redding police and
all involved also deserve a great thankyou for your good police work and diligence
in solving this case.Heather will always be in our thoughts and prayers,and never
will we forget her beautiful face and the sweet girl we all came too know.Im sure
there is a Heaven and Heather knows just how much she was loved by so,so many
people.We are hopeful that the person responsible will be prosecuted by the full
extent of the law and now he will never be able too hurt another person for as
long as he lives.He hurt Heather and all who loved her,however,the damage he has
done too himself and the life he will lead from now on will be well a death sentence
in itself.May God Bless us All, With Love,Carole

to me. I was driving and had to pull over...as another person mentioned, it hit
me like a ton of bricks! I was going to school at Cal Poly when Kristin Smart
was abducted....there is still no closure with her case. I prayed that Heather's
outcome would be different than Kristin's! Although we all wanted her to be found
alive, this outcome is still better than not knowing. Heather & your family has
been in my prayers constantly. Please, Cydney, if you need ANYTHING, please call
me! All of our love, Tony & Leigh

at least, a part of this horrible nightmare is over for you. Now you can bring
Heather home and give her a beautiful place to rest knowing that you can go an
see her whenever you need to talk. You will get your answers as to why this happened
since the Redding police did not waste any time arresting the boy that gave her
that ride. We all anxiously await any further information as it comes in as Heather

memories you have of Heather, memories that nobody can take away. Heather certainly
had a beautiful smile and though I didn't know her the pictures you diligently
spread throughout the Northstate, exhibit the warm and caring spirit Heather showed
to others. God will give you peace, justice will be done and Heather will be in
your hearts forever. Be gentle with each other as each of you must grieve in your
own individual ways. Turn to the many people who have been touched by Heather's
life and give them an opportunity to return what she so generously gave to them,
time, kindness, support, caring, love, generosity, and laughter. God Bless each
and every one of you, and may the peace that passes all understanding be in your

Ed & Cydney - you know that words can not express the depth of my sympathy
for you tonight. Heather is so loved and tonight you can prepare to bring her
home and know that she is safe in the arms of God, where she will wait to be with
you again. A special thanks for the Redding Police, especially John Hawkins, for
the diligent manner in which he and his team searched for Heather until they could
bring her home. To the Redding community for your support for the Carpenter family
in this trying time, you are a community of which I am very proud to be a part
of. The biggest thank you for the "secret witness" who came forward even though
they were "afraid" and gave the missing link to finding Heather and putting a
killer behind bars. This is not over until the trial is complete, but now we can
all start the healing process.

Ed, Cydney, Heidi, and Chris ~ I can not begin to imagine what you must be
feeling with the news that Heather has been found. I know you are having a ton
of thoughts and a flood of emotions. Please know that you are not alone. Throughout
this time being the ribbonmaker for Heather I have seen such an outpouring of
love for this beautiful girl and your family. People from all over the country
have sent me letters about how Heather's beautiful smile touched their hearts.
Please know that she is not alone and neither are you. She is with you every minute
of every day. She knows how much you love and care for her. Even though you can't
physically hold her, you can hold her in your heart and soul forever. Please don't
let anything overshadow the love and memories of your angel. My heart breaks for
you. Please know that this nation sees Heather's beauty inside and out as we admire
and grieve for Heather. One day you will be reunited with Heather, your angel.
Please know that she is always watching over you. You are NEVER alone for she
is now your angel. She is with God where she can never be hurt again, she can
only feel happiness and love. Through this holiday season, please try to remember
Heather's love of Christmas and allow those memories to bring your comfort. May
justice be swift for your family and may God bring you the strength to heal. I
am praying for you now and forever. If there is anything that I can do, please
let me know! Forever your ribbonmaker. Hugs, Brittany and Daniel

My thoughts and prayers are with the Carpenter family this evening. There must
be some solace in the worst outcome. No more going to bed wondering where, how
she is tonight. You must know now she is in a better place and worrying only about
you and your grief. She had such a beautiful smile. Let her smile again. Let her
know that you are okay. She already knows how much you love and miss her. God
rest her beautiful soul. God bless all of you in your extreme time of sadness
and grief. Suffer the children??????? No. Suffer the guilty and let it be swift,
fair and final.

could help them in their time of grieving. Just know that Heather has touched
all of us.

I just heard that Heather's body was found a friend called me at work. I felt
like some one knocked the wind out of me. I can't even imagine how those close
to her are feeling right now. To know Heather was to always be around someone
so great and spunky she had one of the cutest personalities and I will miss her
forever. Now that the 17 year has been arrested acording to the news and Redding.com
I just wanted The Carpenters to know that I am still praying for you.

I just read that they found Heather and my heart goes out to you. I have 2
daughters of my own and I cannot immagine the pain and saddness you are going
through your experience has made me hold my daughters alittle closer and appreciate
having them near. From what I have heard she was a wonderful loving and caring
young lady, May you find comfort in knowing that she is with God.
