Statement from Gov. Rick Perry

On the passing of Heather Burcham an unremitting advocate for women’s health and a friend

Published: 07-24-07

“Heather Burcham passed from this life Saturday evening. Her pain and suffering have forever ceased and her joy and youthfulness renewed as she now may eternally revel in the loving arms of her Savior.

“An inspiration to myself my staff and others whose lives were touched when she came to the Capitol this past February Heather was a physically meager yet passionate believer in the importance of informing Texans about a terrible disease that claims the lives of too many of our wives daughters mothers and friends."
"Though she would have only a short time left to tell her story of how cervical cancer had devastated her youth stealing away her dreams of marriage children and a future of endless opportunity Heather was intent on making a difference.  Her life she said would not be in vain.
 
“Anita and I are very blessed to have known Heather Burcham and we pray that her family and friends find solace and strength as they reflect on the incredible life of this courageous young woman.”
