I am very sorry to hear of Heather's passing. Heather was a wonderful and passionate person. Although I lost touch with her many years ago I feel privileged to have known her. I’m certain she was a wonderful wife and mother - my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mika-
I am so grateful to have known Heather while growing up. She was a beautiful friend, and her amazing talents as an actress were always inspirational to me. Reading about her love of writing children's books, I am comforted to know that she never stopped nourishing her passion for the arts and, I am sure, influencing many others to do the same. Love to you and your family--you are in our thoughts.

Mika: I was so sorry to hear about Heather. You probably don't know but I lost my son, Jeff, two years ago. I know what you are going through and only time and prayer will get you through this. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
