Heather’s mum Velma posted a tribute on a GoFundMe page she set up to honour her daughter and granddaughter – who was to be named Blossom.
She wrote: “We are devastated to share the loss of our beloved Heather and her baby girl, Blossom.
She added: “This fund has been created to help with the costs of laying them to rest with the love and dignity they deserve.
“Any support, whether through a donation, sharing this page of keeping us in your thoughts and prayers, means more than words can express.”
Velma hopes to raise £10,000 to fund a memorial service in order to give friends and family a chance to grieve and honour the memory of her daughter.
Emergency services had raced to Coventry Road in Nuneaton in the early hours of Sunday, September 14, to reports a car had crashed into a tree where they found two women seriously injured.
Tragically, Heather had suffered fatal injuries and she died at the scene.
‘REST EASY WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL GIRL’
The second woman, who is being treated for her injuries, was arrested on suspicion of death by dangerous driving.
Flowers have been laid at the place of the crash alongside cards with messages to the expecting mum.
“Heather and Blossom. My heart is broken. I still cannot believe it, gone too soon. Rest easy with your beautiful girl. Back with your dad to protect you both.”
A second card read: “Too precious for this world. I hope you are resting in eternal peace, my best friend. I love you so much. Miss you always.”
Tributes have also appeared online from those closest to Heather.
One friend, Larissa Dugmore, wrote: “I have struggled to find the right words, but the truth is that no words are ever going to be enough to explain the heaviness I feel in my heart and soul.”
She continued: “I would do anything if it would ease the pain for all of you, and the only clear thing I can see in this living nightmare is that both our Heather and Blossom are way too beautiful for this ugly world.
“I hate that this life is not kind, but our Heather always was, no matter how much it tested her.”
Inspector Michael Huntley, from Warwickshire Police, said: “It was a tragic incident, and we have launched a thorough investigation to establish the cause.
“Anyone with information should contact us via or website or call 101. Please quote incident 28 or September 14, 2025.”
