Richard, Joyce and family,
No one can say the right things at a time like this. We always try and hope we do say something meaningful when we loose a loved one. Judy and my thoughts are with you like always. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Dear Jake, Mackenzie, Rich, Joyce, Kari, Rex and Drew,
My heart is saddened by the loss of a life-long friend and such a caring heart from this earth. Even though I didn't get to speak with Heidi very often, I would still inquire about her quite frequently. Whenever I came back to Lebanon for the holidays, Heidi was one of a few friends that I would consistently see every time. And, she would always greet me with a big smile! She was genuinely very happy to see me. True friends are a rare thing in life, but she was definitely one of mine. When I had meet with her last November, she spoke doggedly about finding peace in her life. This was always my prayer for such a loyal friend and beautiful soul. As I write this, tears fill my eyes for the loss for Heidi Jo and her light from this world. I will miss her dearly. I loved her too and will continue to carry that space for her in my heart. She is so much bigger than even life itself now. My empathy is with all of you. So, so, sorry for your loss. Warmly, Kim Gilbert
