Heather was my instructor at the Vanier College Field Station located near Lachute, Quebec, in 1982. She was very good in her role, and a very nice person. I only found out two years ago about her passing, and I am saddened by her passing.
May she rest eternally in Peace amongst the Angels in Heaven.
Amen,
My condolences to friends and family. I was so sad to hear of Heather’s passing. I spent many, many hours working on water management issues with her and learned so much. She was an amazing lady.
I was thinking of you all remembering Heather today at her funeral. I did not know her well but i do remember how intelligent she was when she spoke up. She will be missed, I know.
Heather was a bright star in the Ministry of Environment and am sad to hear of her passing. She worked tirelessly on issues and presented clear cut solutions. I have been fortunate to work with Heather on several projects in the past and was always impressed with her insight.
It makes me wish I had told her how I felt earlier and is a lesson to me in life to let people know how much I appreciate them.
