We are here to remember heather heyer. And to say goodbye. Some of us are here as family. Some of us are friends old and new. Some of coworkers, but that is more like family to heather. And some of us are just here out of respect for a young woman who lost her life defending the rights of people. And i would like for us to carry her legacy on by doing the same thing respecting the rights of everyone. The family is humbled and deeply grateful for the outreach and the outpouring of love from the community, and generosity.

Time, elwood schrader, heathers grandfather, is going to share some remembrances. Elwood i would like to repeat that we thank you for coming. We are absolutely in all at this outpouring of affection.

Overnight. In one stealth move. It was pretty impressive. Very divisive action, the kind of thing we dont see in washington. Also im sick of people complaining that local government cant get stuff done. I was like you want to see action . Watch that coordinated thing. They moved fast and got it done.
