Dear Wilson Family, As you know, our class from Holton-Arms had their 20 year reunion this Spring. As many of us reminisced about our old school days and enjoyed getting reacquainted after so many years, Heather's absence was glaringly obvious. Heather was a very important part of our class, and we wanted to do something to honor her. Heather was a vibrant, beautiful and smart girl who was always smiling. I especially remember Heather in Orchesis. I recall watching her dance with such beauty and grace; it seems she lived her life that way. Despite Heather's ongoing battle with her health, her spirit shone as bright as ever. She did light up a room! As Susan Buckingham said in her letter to you in June, it has been too long for us as a class in creating a tribute to Heather. Our class decided to finally memorialize Heather's tremendous spirit. Holton-Arms Class of 1988 donated money in Heather's memory to John's Hopkins Life Center for children. We chose John's Hopkins Life Center to be the recipient of the donation because we realize that the Children's Center saved Heather's life on several occasions, not to mention it was at Johns Hopkins where Heather received her kidney transplant. I am proud to report to you that our class has donated $1637.00. Heather was an integral part of our class at Holton-Arms. We are honored to have known and been a part of her bright and beautiful spirit. With kindest regards,
