We formed a deep friendship but saw each other too little of late. She always smelled good, hugged like a champ, and bore her many sorrows in a way that was inspirational.

Thank you Bill for your response, I too will miss her quiet unassuming kindness, her warm and embracing laughter, her lovely and soul reaching voice.  I too miss the idea of seeing her, hearing her, and singing along with her.  Heather was a treasure.

Apparently it was quick last night and a friend was with her.  Her daughter, Melinda, will be taking some time to decide on plans for a Memorial.   Rev. Joan will be sending out a note to the congregation this afternoon, including information about reaching out to the family.

I saw her Sunday afternoon at the music event at the church --it was the first time she had been out of the house for a while, she said, and she asked if she could come to some choir rehearsals now that we have the elevator back.
