Condolences
So so sorry to just now hear of Heidi's passing. I loved working with Heidi at BMO Highfield. She was always the kindest soul. She made a wonderful unch for me after I came back to Calgary. Loving friend, colleague, mom, grandma.
We were saddened to hear of Heidi’s passing. She was a strong, beautiful woman who welcomed us into the family as though she had known us her whole life. She will be dearly missed. Love and prayers to the Terakita family. Love Marla, Chris and Isla (PEI)
My sincere condolences go out to Kayla and family. May you always treasure the wonderful times you shared with her. My prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Heather and I are thinking of you all and are sorry for your loss. Auntie Heidi was one of a kind. I remember her infectious laugh and that even though she had to manage all of you kids and cousins at the same time, never seemed flustered or frustrated at any time. Lol. She was always smiling and raised a close and caring family. She will be missed.
My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family. I haven't had a chance to meet mommy Heidi but knowing Kayla I knew she is a wonderful mother and grandma to her grand and great grand-kids. My thoughts and love for the family.
Respectfully,
Mylene and Matteo
Dear Kayla, my thoughts are with you during this time. I am so sorry for your loss.
My prayers are with you and family.

Memories of Heidi take us all back to Agate Crescent where we were next door neighbours for many years. Watching the family grow was one of the many delights we shared, knowing that the kids had Heidi and Mitzy there to guide them. Even though the years have past, memories of that wonderful lady and her family have stayed with us. May you find comfort in knowing that your family and friends are thinking of you during this time.
Love,
Ann Bergen and Family
Chris and family,
A life gone but never forgotten. My volunteering at Beverly Age Care will never be the same as I lose very special people.
Heidi being one of them, I will always remember her big smile and warm welcome to me when i see her and it is what i will cherish.
The first time we met, i told Heidi who I was and how we worked together many moons ago. We must had chatted for a long time as her lunch time came and "forced" me out. May the love and memories of your Mom warm your heart and brighten your days forever.

I wish to offer my deepest heartfelt condolences to Terakita Hideko's entire family and friends in this most trying time under these particular events. I wish all of you the best in the time of grief.

Dear Heidi,
It has always been an internal struggle of mine finding a balance between my own sadness while remaining empathetic to bereaved family members. Ordinarily, I will withhold any demonstration of sorrow out of respect for those who were closer to the departed; but, you were no ordinary person. Reflecting on the fondness and admiration held by anyone who had the privilege of meeting you, it is truly exemplified what an extraordinary and unique light you brought to this world.
Coming from a family that rarely comes together and seldom to demonstrate any true affection, my introduction and inclusion into the family you built has offered me more than I could ever describe. I feel truly blessed to have joined the kin of a true Matriarch. I know all your grandchildren, especially my dear Reyko, are heartbroken at the thought of their children or any future children never having the opportunity to experience the warmth, charm, and enjoyable craziness that you provided them. However, I see your qualities at the core of all your children and grandchildren. Whether it’s Jill cheating to win games, the aunts ensuring no one leaves hungry (or over-stuffed more precisely), Lindsay’s immutable youth spirit, Reyko’s compassion to care for others, or Greg’s delight every time the family grows… It gives me true comfort knowing while you may no longer be with us, we will always feel the presence of your warmth and endless love.
While I likely will continue to hide from the role of pounding during Mochi and fearfully sit out of Nerds, I vow to make sure your future Great-Grand children will not!
Thank you for embracing me as part of a family I couldn’t have even dreamt up.

My deepest condolences to all the family. I knew this beautiful woman through Chris.
Chris, when I think of your Mom, I think of a beautiful, caring and authentic soul who always seemed happy to see me and always so welcoming. She is someone who I will never forget and always appreciate for her kindness.
I was so very sorry to learn of the passing of Heidi, Mom's table mate (Iris Gallagher) at Age Care Midnapore Bridlewood. Heidi was always so very sweet and kind and I know that Mom always enjoyed her company. I had many lunches sitting with them at their table. It was always a pleasure to have a short visit and chat when Heidi lived across the hall from Mom especially when her daughter's and grandchildren (sometimes great grandchildren too!) visited. We were always made to feel so welcome.
May she rest in peace...who knows, perhaps Heidi and Mom are having a nice visit together.
Yours in sympathy, Jackie Gallagher Trafford
My Grandma was the sweetest, cutest, funniest, most loving and selfless woman. She taught me the importance of family, how to care for others and that you never waste good food (even if it may have touched the floor or the garbage). Her smile and laughter were infectious and I will carry all of the wonderful memories she left with me my entire life. She was the anchor in our family and an angel on earth, and although it breaks my heart to let her go she is now an angel in heaven. Thank you for helping to shape me into the woman I am today, and for giving me the most wonderful family I could ever ask for. Your presence will be missed greatly, but you live on in the hearts of every one of your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I love you and miss you so much already.
It's only been 3 days since she passed away and I miss my Grandma so much already. I have so much heartache, but I realize how lucky I was to have had her for so long and to have even known a person like her. I felt so close to Grandma and I craved visits with her to chat and feel her love and comfort even until the end. Me and my girls will miss our visits so much. I will always remind them of the special bonds we each had with her and will cherish our memories forever. She was the ultimate example of the kind of wife, mother, grandma I want to be and her spirit will continue to teach me for the rest of my life. I hope one day I am standing on my porch waving goodbye to my great-grandkids until they drive off into the distance full of love and tears just like she did everyday. I'll love you forever Grandma. Hope you're dancing with Grandpa now. ❤
