    My deepest condolences to one of my favourite families. ❤️Heather always made me feel welcome. I have such fond memories of dinners, drinks on the back deck and so many laughs shared. Her smile and warmth was infectious and I always admired her ability to say it like it is while remaining diplomatic. She was so full of light and wisdom and just an all around beautiful person. I’m grateful for the time we shared together. The last time I saw Heather she kissed me on the cheek when we were saying goodbye. I’ll cherish that kiss forever. Sending you all so much love. Xoxo

    I will so miss Heather, she has been family for so many years. Jem and Heather were there for me when my beloved John (Jem’s brother) passed.
    Heather always signed her correspondence with ‘Love, Light, and Laughter’. Those words will always come to mind when I think of Heather.

    I was just looking to commend Heather and her services to someone in need of a couples’ counsellor when, much to my shock, I came across Heather’s obituary. I am so deeply saddened to learn of her passing and I send you all my deepest condolences.
