I'm so shocked and saddened upon learning of Heidi's passing. I knew Heidi since the 10th grade. Kara I met you once many years ago when you were visiting your dad. I worked with Heidi at Denson's Sound Systems, she actually got me the job! She moved to Richmond and we lost contact. Heidi was one of the most original sweetest persons I ever knew. We shared many characteristics and attitudes and it doesn't surprise me that we both eventually became RN's and we both serve our nations veterans and military. May you Rest in Peace

Love You,

Joe, I never met you but I feel your pain. Theres not a day that goes by I don't think of Heidi. I spent my entire childhood being watched over and taken places by Heidi. She was such a great friend and I miss her dearly. In fact I used to write her when I was in the army and had even mentioned maybe setting up a dinner or something with you guys not long before she had passed. Heidi was one of the nicest people I ever met. She will always be missed by all of us. My grandmother just joined her in Heaven on Wednesday and I will be happy to see both their faces when I join them one day.

Joe, I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you this week. I know the one year anniversary of the person we lost, is so hard to bare. I know Heidi has been looking down on all of her loved ones and have tried to offer you support at the times you needed it most. She knows that you have reached out to her daughter and tried to do all the things she would have wanted you to do. I know this has been a tough year, and you feel lost and just trying to survive. I know too well. Please try to remember only the good memories. Be careful on your journey tomorrow as I know you will visit her resting place. I always said the people that are left behind are the ones with the hardest job. We have to learn to live without them. Time will heal all but she will always be in your heart. God Bless, Kim

Joe, I never met you and I had lost touch with Heidi over the years. The last time I had seen her was at St. Mary's in 2005 but had worked with her for several yrs. 95-98. I still think of her often. I will continue to hold you and your family and Kara up in prayer. I know the loss I feel in my heart from the friend I lost. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I truly hope that will bring you some comfort. I still hear Heidi laughing and hear her stories about school and Kara. Please know I will never forget her and the time we worked together and will keep you all in my heart and prayers in the years to come. God Bless.

On the passing of Heidi Hayes

The Internet is a Strange place, your are some time able to make friends with people you never meet. Heidi is one of those, and she was a wonderful person who I had not herd from in a while and it is with shock and sadness I find out about her passing.
It is Great to read others who did know her had the same good opinion and appreciation of her, a Joyful person, kind, giving and Caring.
I am sure all those vets at the VA appreciated you.

You will be missed but I am sure God has a place for you.

Joe Ryan,
I worked with Heidi at Chippenham Manor Nursing Home on Forest Hill Avenue in Richmond,Virginia in the late 1990s (1998-2000). I will always remember her beautiful smile and her happy and upbeat personality. She was always happy and always smiling! And she always made the Nursing Home patients feel good too. She sincerely cared about all the patients. I just found out about Heidi's death today (September 3, 2009). I was reading the "In Memoriam" section of the Richmond Times-Dispatch Newspaper when I saw her picture. I was shocked and so sad. I could hardly believe it. The one thing that will always stand out in my mind when I think of Heidi is - "Love" - Heidi loved all people. Heidi showed love to everyone and treated everyone equal. When I first met Heidi at Chippenham, I was standing in the first floor Nurses Station looking at charts and Heidi and got to talking. I immediately knew that Heidi was a Christian because I could just feel the love in her spirit. I am so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Gayle Page Robinson Walton Leonard

Kara, I haven't the words. Your mother was one of the truest, most wonderful people I have ever been blessed enough to meet. All it took was a "Hug from Heidi" and all of our college blues would melt away. I know she is watching over you, and has left you in good hands.

Just wanted to let you know that we are here for you, please know how much we care about you. We only got to meet Heidi at the our daughters wedding but in that short time it was easy to see how beautiful she was. I remember her with my grandmother that evening, how she made Mommom light up with smiles. As for you, I have never seen any other woman ever make you look so happy and proud and full of love and life. Wish that we had more time to have gotten to know her. Please give us a call when you get home, our thoughts and prayers are with you and Heidi's family at this time.

Love, Ann Marie, Rick and Ricky

Kara,where do I begin.Your mother was such a joy to be around.She was always buzzing around the V.A.Hospital.She always had a smile on her face.She loved her job & but loved the vetrans more.Everyone here loved her.I knew her for a little while but as I said she was a joy to be around when you could keep up with her because as I stated she was always on the move buzzing around the V.A.

May GOD be with now durning this time of sorrow & may heaven smile upon you & may you find joy & comfort in knowing that both you & heaven has one more Angel watching over you & it.

What a wonderful person God has called home. Heidi was so genuine and so full of life. I am sorry that we did not have more time with her here on Earth, but I know we will see her again. She will truly, truly be missed by everyone who knew her. I pray that God will give you peace while you go through this difficult time. I will keep you in my prayers.

To All of Heidi's family,
Please know that Heidi was loved and well-respected for all the dedicated work she did for our nation's veterans. Please find some comfort knowing she had made a mark in the world and there will be a void here now. Keeping you close in my prayers.

I am in shock and very saddened to hear of Heidi's passing. We knew each other through her work with the VA and she was a joy to be around. She was full of life and energy that just seemed to create a glow around her. She will be missed.

Kara,
Where do i begin? I have so many fond memories of you and Heidi. I remember going roller skating and watching movies at your house. I remember her laugh and warm smile everytime i saw her. She was so beautiful and always cared about all us neighboorhood kids. I remember her nursing books, i remember her cutting up those lil cheese squares for us while we watched nutcracker! And i remember her copying her Vanilla Ice tape and saying "don't tell your mom i gave you this." She was so cool!!! I know she touched so many lives and i am thankful to have known her. I pray for you and i know she is in Heaven with all the other angels.

Kara, Joe, I can't explain the loss I feel knowing Heidi is no longer in our lives, so I can't imagine what you are going thru. Kara, your mom always spoke to me about you and how incredible you are. Joe, I met you briefly in Orlando the day you got engaged to Heidi. I still have and kept the email she sent me after our conference with all the activities of that day.

Although I have only known Heidi for a few yrs, she was a treasure and a wonderful, warm, giving individual. She was so involved with work and helping out and doing whatever she could for our NSQIP program and her peers. She will always be missed, and I am lucky to have had the pleasure to work with her and know her personally.
My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families.

To Joe and Heidi's family. I was blessed to have known Heidi the past couple of years. When she would visit you at the beach, I enjoyed sitting and talking with her. She loved her daughter, and we talked about her planning the wedding and how excited she was. She had such passion about everything she touched. She loved her job, friends and more importantly you Joe. I know what it's like to lose the love of your life as I lost my husband four years ago on Valentine's Day. Heidi and I spoke about my journey and she was so warm and encouraging about life. Joe, cherish the memories. Sometimes we can't understand why someone so special is taken from us, I guess someone else needed her more. May God give you strength to get through these hard times. Remember your friends are here for you. Kara, your Mom was very proud of you and I'm sure she'll continue to be your strength whenever you need her.

I left the VA in 1996 and did not meet Heidi but knew of her thru Gail Laub. Gail always had high praises for her and to loose an earthly Angel of Mercy is a great loss. A job well done Heidi and now may you enjoy your heavenly home. Best wishes to your family and friends. Frances C. Brame, RN

Dear Kara,
The love, compassion, and sacrifices that your Mom made through her service to McGuire and its family will never be forgotten. Another angel of ours stole away before we wanted her too. Although our hearts are heavy in pain, we must keep the faith and believe that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. For her sake, she is healed. We will miss her. God be with you and the family in the days ahead.
I too, am an advocate for Homeless Veterans and will continue to support them in her honor. I pray peace and strength to you in your schooling and your future. Sadly, I bid farewell to a vibrant breath of life we knew and loved in Heidi.
With heartfelt condolences,

Thank you everybody for your support at this awful time. I couldn't get through this without my wonderful friends and family. My mom is giving me a lot of strength right now and I will miss her always. She worked so hard for me and I know she made this world a much better place for everyone she met. She devoted her life to helping others and giving me a wonderful life and I know she'll be watching over us always. I'm going to follow right in her footsteps and continue to make her proud and pick up her causes right where she left off.

Thanks everybody. - Kara
