To Jean my sincere condolences on the death of your daughter Heather. Multiple Sclerosis is such a devastating disease, striking young people like Heather in the prime of their lives. My family has been touched by M.S. and we pray that continued research will find an answer so that people like Heather will not have to suffer through this trauma. Joyce Dawson.
Heather was my dear friend in that key time of life that you move from Barbie’s to makeup. I remember giggling in her basement, playing imaginary games of “Emergency!”, having sleepovers, and playing with her dog Skippy. We were put in different classes and started making different friends, but Heather always included me in all the “cool kid” party invites. We reconnected in high school through Helene and although we did not keep in close touch, she was always kind and generous with me. My thoughts are with her family now.
Some say losing a parent is losing a direction in life, losing a loved friend is the same I would say. My wonderful fine dear caring and so very brave friend, Heather you want be forgotten always in my hart and mind.
My condolences to Jean Rebecca and Haley
I had the pleasure of meeting Heather just once at one of Kim O's parties. She was such a delight and, apparently, she got quite a kick out of the maple squares I had brought. ;-) I bow to Heather's courage for living with MS for more than 20 years and for choosing to depart on her own terms. I also want to honour all who supported her during her years of declining health, it couldn't have been easy. Sending you all much light.
Condolences to Heather’s family at this sad time . I was a coworker of Heather’s at Homecare for many years . She excelled in her role as case manager…..may she rest in peace ..

A Family friend for so many years, yes, even from her youth and will always be remembered, her mischievous smile, her determination, her daring, "Who wants to get up at 3.00 a.m. for a swim at the cottage when the black flies and mosquitoes are at their best", and her dedication to her friends through thick and thin. Be happy and content Heather and have a glass or two with your Dad Richard, and celebrate and cherish every moment my Dear.

I first met Heather when she came to assess my mother at her home in Beachburg, then through her friend Kimberly, and lastly through her dearest mother. My sympathy goes to Heather's entire family. Dance freely, Heather. You were a brave and kind soul. Carol
