Dearest Heather... So hard to believe that it's been a year since you've left us my very dear friend. Funny how you came to my mind today as if to gently remind me. How I have missed you and thought about you so many, many times in the past year. I see your smile in my mind and it makes me smile. I know your with me. I miss you. I will see you again some day. Until then sending you my love and hugs. Cheryl

My very, very dear friend, I am devastated, overwhelmed and very much saddened. I miss you. You were so very important to me. You were my sister, my rock, my very best friend. So many wonderful, happy memories creep inside my mind. The cups of tea, the wonderful chats, the tears, the joy, happiness, and family times together...sweet, sweet memories. You were ALWAYS there for me, Heather, always... I feel numb inside, empty. My heart is heavy and can't stop crying. How important you were to my children...to this day you are still Auntie Heather to my kids when I speek of you. I drove past your house not even three weeks ago. I wanted to see you, tell you I miss you. Tell you I Love you. Now it's too late. I hope you knew, though. I believe you did because I feel your spirit around me. How I wish I had an opportunity to say good bye to you...I was too late. Forgive me, my friend. I'm sorry. I miss you and you will always be in my heart, always. Good bye dear friend, I love you with my whole heart. To Terry, Tamara and Skyler and to Heather's brother, Tom...there are no words. I can't even begin to image what you all are going through. Our hearts are heavy for you. I wish We had some words that would help comfort you in your time of need. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers and I hope that the memories you have of Heather fill you with happiness and joy and comfort you in some way. Heather lived life with a smile on her face. She had a wonderful spirit about her. She was kind, loving and extremely giving not only of her time but of her heart and the many, many gifts that adorn our home. That is how I still see her in my mind. She was an amazing woman, Mother, Grandmother and dear, dear friend to many. Thank you for calling us,Terry. I sensed something was wrong when we received your message late that night. I couldn't sleep, filled with worry, never suspecting the worst! Wish we could have been there to help support all of you through this most difficult and challenging time. Sending you all warm hugs, love and prayers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for any of you. Love you all and miss you all so, so much. We will be in touch soon. Love and hugs, Joe, Cheryl, Meggie and Alexandra Madott XXXX OOOO

Heather will be sadly missed by all of her friends and staff at the CW Community Sportsplex and Township offices. Heather was a well know (and friendly) face at the Sportsplex and knew many of our customers by their names. Our prayers and thoughts are with Terry and Heather's family. Heather is now in heaven and we will all see her again in time.

I met Heather a few years ago when I first opened my children's store in Elora. She and her daughter Tamara would come in regularly not only to shop but also to chat and give me some much needed encouragement to keep going with the store. She was always smiling, always in a good mood and she always made my day whenever she came by. My daughters adored seeing her at the Sportsplex. As soon as they had finished their swimming lessons, they would rush out to the desk and tell Heather all about what they had done and achieved that session. Heather responded with such enthusiasm one would think she was talking to her own grandchildren!! That's just the kind of person she was. She was giving, caring and truly genuine in every way. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this difficult time. My deepest sympathies, Tania Bradley

Story shared: I can never say goodbye

Thu, 08 Aug 2013 09:51:45 EDT

About 15 years ago Heather moved to Elora from Woodstock with her family. Every day she would walk her son to school past my house. I too was talking my son to school and would always say "Good morning". He son Skylar would say "mom that lady is talking to you", yet she would never answer. It wasn't until a few week later that she stopped to talk and found out she had a hearing problem. We laughed when I told her I thought maybe she was a snob. SInce then we have been best friends. We have had many a shopping spree( we know how she hates to spend money), done numerous craft shows and spent many Christmas Eves together. We have been through good times and bad times. We have decorated our homes together and I learned to speak slower so she could ready my lips when in a crowd. We spoke almost everyday, sometimes more than once. We have been there for each other when we needed a shoulder to cry on. I will never be able to say goodbye, you will always be on my mind and in my heart. I will always be here to help your family. Your BFF

I met Heather through my parents John and Cecile Beaudet who live across the street from them. Quite often, Heather would come and sit in the garage with us and tell us about her family. My parents really enjoyed her company and looked forward to her visits. They would convey to me how much she loved her grandchildren and she would tell them all about the kids and grandkids. On behalf of my parents and myself, our deepest condolences to your family. The Beaudet and Wightman families

I was shocked to hear this unfortunate news today and I am at a loss for words. I always thought of Heather as my second mom. Even giving my daughter her middle name of Heather. Terry and Heather always treated is like her own kids. Babysitting us whenever my mom needed. Then when Tam and Sky came, I babysat them. I will never forget the day I called Heather and tried to convince her we had puddles with sharks in them near our place and I would be really greatful if we could come over and swim in their pool...shark free. After what seemed like 30 minutes of laughter, Heather caught her breath and told us yes. I will always remember her fondly. Love to you Terry, Tam and Sky.
