You will be missed after 56 years of going thru good and bad times. You were included in everything my family did. We went thru marriages, divorces, living together, cruising and complaining to each other about everything. Most of all I will miss our telephone calls and shopping at Boscov’s. Save me a space in heaven.

I have so many wonderful memories of my Aunt Heather. From times visiting her in Canada when Gordon and Stephen were young to going to Scotland in 2016. You will always be remembered as the fun, happy Aunt that I adored as a child. Love you forever. Linda

My condolences to Heather’s family and close friends. She booked some memorable family trips including our first one to Disney and was such a joy to work with. She cared so much about her work and took the time to get to know her clients. Always had a smile on her face! A true light in this world!
