My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. It saddens me to think that wonderful people such as Heidi must ever leave, however it is comforting to know that she is now in a place where she can indeed watch over all of us as she always did while here.

I just heard today about Heidi's passing. We served together at Eastern in the Baptist Student Union. She was a wonderful, upbeat person to serve with and although she is with our Father, I will miss her. She was a friend when I needed one and was influential in my relationship with God. I feel humble and blessed that she was a part of my life and will pray for all of you.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of Heidi's family. We can't ever seem to understand why God does the things He does. What we do know is He always knows what is right. I can see Heidi walking those golden streets, beside her Savior, and He is telling her it won't be long before everyone is together again. And what a day that will be. My prayers go out to all of you, God Bless. Love Staci
