My dear friend Heidi it's been a year since you left us. I think of you often and remember all the laughs from Bank of Marin and Westamerica. We stayed life long friends even after I moved to CO. We always talked in good times and bad. Much love to Eddie Jr and Ed Sr.

Dear Larsen Family ,
Heidi and I were friends for a long time and had so much fun together. She borrowed a dress from my sister to go on her interview at Westamerica back in the 70's. She got the job so we kept telling her it was because of the dress. I knew your Mom and Dad as well as Barret. I was very sad to hear of Heidi's passing. God Bless her

Thinking of you all during this very sad time. May the reunion up in heaven be great as she gets to see her parents again. And may your tears of sadness eventually turn to nothing but happy memories of Heidi.
