Dear David and the entire Patenaude-Reservitz Family, It is a very sad day for me. I just learned of Heidi's passing. She and I were best friends in elementary and middle school. I loved her dearly. She was truly a beautiful person. I am so sorry for your loss. She has a special place in my heart.

Dear Reservitz and Patenaude families,
It still is not quite believable that your beautiful Heidi is no longer here. Wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago I was talking with her and telling her how great she looked with her new short hair growing in? Her struggle with cancer was epic and still doesn't seem real. You all handled everything with such strength. It was heart warming to see the community of your friends and family rally around and help in any way they could. But words continue to fail in the face of such tragedy. May the love of family and friends continue to help you through the coming weeks and months. And never hesitate to call for any reason.

Theresa, Dave, Abbey,Hana,Will , Mere words cannot express our sadness . We will always keep her in our hearts ;she was such a courageous fighter like her dad. Your good memories will support you and keep her with you until you see her again. We send our love and many prayers.

Sending love to all the lives Heidi touched, her energy easily bestowed on all she met. Her grace and intelligence was noticeable from the moment I met her. Her wit and genuineness emanated from her beautiful being. This energy will surround you all now, her presence will be felt in the love she gave so freely. I will miss knowing she is on Earth, but I know she will be close always as an angel. I can picture her at the house on Central Ave, with the girls, David close by always. All so beautiful together. May Love, Peace, and the Blessings of her time with you guide you through. Love always, Eliza

Dear Patneaude Family: I'm so sorry to learn of Heidi's passing. Though our families haven't been in touch for many years, I hold a very special place in my heart for you.
Your sweet family is still grieving Mr. Patneaude and I'm sorry you're grieving again.
It's strange, when we were children, Heidi seemed so much older than Eric and I. And to realize it was only a year and a few months that separated us, it matters so much less now.
I'm so very sorry for your loss and I will keep you close to my heart.
