Heidi Lynn Adams

I wanted to share something near and dear to my heart with all of you. I lost my best friend last November - it was the hardest thing I had to ever endure. However, I'm seeing the beauty of what came to fruition from that tragic event. I may never have her physically present in my life ever again, but I know that she is always with me in other ways. As I aspire to be an actor, she is apart of my burning passion to do what I know I'm called to do in life. At first, I was aiming to soar, but in my mind that put me on too high of a pedestal. Instead, I've reevaluated what Heidi would truly want to see, with the help of my dear and loving friend and motherly figure, Eileen Koczan. She would want me to enjoy the journey; to dance in the rain clouds. Make each day count. Live to the fullest, and give my absolute best every single day. 


Heidi was a vibrant, fun-loving and beautiful soul. We were, in fact, kindred spirits. I miss her every single day. Going forward, every single show or production that I'm apart of, I'll dedicate opening night to her. I love you, Heidi. 




Here is a link to a beautiful site put together by Heidi's family in memory of her:

Also, this was written by Heidi right before her unfortunate demise. I live by this legacy now, and I always will:



Heidi’s Legacy:
This message is to stress in my life: I hate that you have stolen precious moments with my beautiful little girls. When you come hovering over me, I will no longer allow you to take reign. I will hold my children tighter; dance with them in the rain clouds, and let laughter billow in our lives. I pray that my legacy of inward strength will grow through my amazing little ladies. Their lives will be fulfilled with growth and power within themselves. I realize that this comes with a strong mother. I may never be able to give my kids a large amount of “stuff.” What I can give them is great memories that will last them a lifetime. Love that will fill through their being, and tools that will show them how to be good, strong women!
