Heather

You died at the young age of twelve in 1988.
Your death was something everybody would hate.
You died of cardiac arrest that was caused by intestinal stenosis.
You were a very pretty and talented girl, everybody knows this.
It's a shame when someone as young as you passes away.
You starred in all three Poltergeist movies and in Happy Days.
You also guest starred in eleven other TV shows during your short lifespan.
Your demise devastated your friends and family and it also hurt your fans.
Your life was so short, you didn't live long enough to drive a car or to receive your first kiss.
People will always remember your contribution and you will continue to be missed.

[Dedicated to Heather O'Rourke (1975-1988) who died on February 1, 1988.]
