My most sincere Condolences

I would like to offer my deepest condolences on your loss. I had the occasion to have Heidi work with us at Base Borden Accommodations; she was a breath of sunshine everyday of the week. We both would do push-ups in the lobby at work during slower times and she was very good at making the Chief break out in a sweat. I feel great sorrow to know we have lost such a great individual within the Steward family and the CF. Our prayers are with you and the Stewards in Borden are here for you in any way we can help ease your sorrow. She will be missed tremendously by all those who knew her.
Heidi was a good friend and great Steward. I had the pleasure of meeting Heidi as a friend first and follow Steward. I had the pleasure of training heidi and she was a “get to it” kind of girl. I was away when she passed and my heart fell for her. I know alot of people that will miss Heidi’s attitude, influence and friendship.
Heidi we Love and Miss you. You will be greatly missed by all Stewards and friends

My deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Heidi. I had the pleasure of sailing with her on HMCS Winnipeg, during the deployment the crew and I got to know Heidi as the wonderful person that she was she will be missed.
Although I only met Heidi one time in the summer of 2007, I liked her right away, and was struck by her honesty and strength. Pat, my heart aches for you, and I wish I could be there with you, but know that my heart and prayers are with you.
