I used to work with Heidi. She was a great person. She was always there when I needed someone to talk to. We took many smoke breaks together. If something was wrong she wouldn't leave you alone until you got it all off your shoulders!!! She will be greatly missed. My sympathies go out to her family. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Heidi is in a better place and finally pain free.

Heidi was a good friend and will be missed greatly. Her heart was as big as her smile. Always laughing or joking, but took her job very seriously. Heidi, you were more than just a coworker, you were my friend. I remember our talks, how your love for Chad and your daughters would make you shine. You helped me in times that I couldn't talk to anyone else. Heidi, I will miss you. The memories I have will always make me laugh, but this memory is one that has me crying over the loss of a friend. Love you Heidi, Goodbye

Your Friend, Darrell King
