What an amazing person and what a remarkable life. Heidi has made a difference in so many lives. I saw her save a child´s life by administering an EpiPen in her leg, while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. The students and staff at a Arongen we´re lucky to have her. I am grateful I got the chance to know her as both a colleague and a friend. I will keep Heidi´s family in my prayers.
