We were so shocked to hear of Heathers passing. We first met Heather at the St Vinnie's shop . She was a much loved and appreciated member. We will miss her gorgeous smile and friendliness.

My sincere condolences to Rex and all Heather's family.
I first met Heather while working at Jean Todd. She was an enthusiastic nurse who was always happy to give guidance.
In later years I enjoyed playing with her at Golf croquet, which she was very good at. She also supported the club in any way she could.
She was always smiling and enjoying life.
I'm very sorry to have missed her funeral. She will be fondly remembered. RIP

Rex and family, so sorry to read that Heather has passed away. I have very fond memories of her when I baby sat for Karen, Stephan, Richard and Jeromy. She trusted me so much, and even let me drive her car. I was also Karen´s sponsor when she was Confirmed. Great times, back in the day at Lochiel.
