Her final wish was to be laid to rest in Maui by her family, who are collecting donations for the trip on a Go Fund Me web page. As of Tuesday afternoon, $2,105 of the $5,000 goal has been raised by 38 people in 13 days.
“She is finally at peace, which is the only thing I get out of this,” said Ken Byrd, Heather’s father. “You cannot prepare. Knowing she is at peace and not having to worry about this again is my only relief.”

Seven people plan on making the trip to Hawaii, including her father and his wife, an aunt, her grandfather and her brother’s family.
