July 4, 2020 at 10:04 amI am so very sad to read this news. Heather was a beautiful woman both inside and out. I had the pleasure of getting to know Heather as she instructed my yoga classes. I hope you can all cherish the wonderful memories that you have created over the years. One thing I know for sure is Heather’s family were so loved and important in her life. When Heather would talk about any of you she would light up and a true sparkle would appear in her eyes. I am sure the night skies will be brighter with a special star that will shine in Heather’s memory. Hugs to all. Colleen McEvoy
