My sincere condolences go out to her loved ones. She was such a kind, friendly woman and it's heartbreaking to hear of her passing. I grew up a few doors up from Heather and her family. I was good friends with her sons Patrick and Connor.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Heathers passing. I knew Heather growing up as the older sister of my best friend. She was the older sister we all looked up to. She was beautiful inside and out. I am so sorry for your loss, she will be missed. She is in good company in heaven with Jack, Joyce and Dan.
