Joanne we are devastated to learn of the loss of your precious daughter Heather. I can’t imagine what you and your families are going through. So many memories of the earlier years together. My heart goes out to you and Chris.

Our memories were that of being infants, so I unfortunately don’t remember (although I’m sure there’s pictures somewhere in your or my parents’ photo albums - the roll film days)!, but am saddened of hear of your passing. I would see your families’ beautiful annual Christmas photo at my parents house and admire it and how your family grew with marriages, births and achievements!

May you rest in peace Heather

Sending love and light to the Taylor family

The teachers of SCHS that are still there remember Heather fondly. She was itty bitty with a powerful smile, a kind soul and a sweet energy. If I remember correctly, she also played a great soccer game. I was fortunate enough to have taught her for a few years, I was away having babies but we got a few years together in Spanish. A few of us will try and get to her celebration of life on Tuesday. May you smile when the time in right, with all the memories you had of her in her almost 34 years of life, this just doesn't seem fair! Sending our condolences. Tara Ong Padilla

Joanne, Chris and family ~ we are so saddened to hear of Heather’s passing. We never personally met her but she was so loved by Ghislaine and her family and was often in our conversations. Our hearts break for you. You are in our thoughts and in our prayers. Take care of each other,

Pam & Rob Middleditch and family

Heather was one of the first people I met when moving to Calgary. She pulled up beside me at her local bar and treated me like she had known me her entire life. From then on Heather and I became close friends. I’ll never forget her smile, charm, and the biggest heart I’ve seen. I’ll miss our laughs, our hugs, or like siblings jokes and deep talks. I’ll miss you forever Heather.

I went to high school with Heather and remember her being a kind and vibrant person. Sending lots of love to her family and everyone that knew her. She will be greatly missed.

We are heartbroken to hear that Heather has passed. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this sad and difficult time.

We have so many precious memories of Heather and Jaclyn’s friendship and the time she spent with our family. We’ll always remember Heather’s beautiful smile, infectious laugh, big warm hugs, kindheartedness and her talent and feistiness on the soccer field.

We loved when she joined us on our Family vacation to our Ontario cottage and we always laughed at the standing joke we had with her and her request for teriyaki chicken burgers when dining at our house. We spent many soccer tournaments away with Heather and really got to know her fun-loving spirit!

What a remarkable daughter you raised!

Heather will be remembered and deeply missed. Our most sincerest sympathies.

Much love,

Karen and Gord Tate

Jaclyn, Brett and Dylan Tate

Heather always brought a sparkling, loving spirit that will leave a notable void in our lives.

I'm so sorry to hear of Heather's passing. We went to school together and lost touch but I'll always remember her as the nicest person. She had time for everyone and never had anything bad to say. She was so energetic, sweet and excited about life. Even when we would run into each other over the years she was just elated to see someone she new. A light lost, she'll always be remembered as a ray of sunshine.

Heather was a beautiful butterfly that brought joy and love to anywhere she chose to alight. Like all of us, I have too many fond memories of her to count. I loved that woman. My heart is broken and it goes out to Chris, Jo and all of the extended family.

I am so sorry to hear of Heather's passing. I remember her from a baby until she was ten. She was such a lovely young girl, very kind and always a happy child. My heart goes out to Chris, Jo and family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

i only knew her a short while but she was a ray of sunshine to everyone she met. smart, humble and cute, she will never be forgotten. loved always

Heather was an energetic and life loving soul, she once walked into my neighbours house instead of mine and now I’m best friends with the neighbours. I saw her last week and we had a beautiful catch up and after she walked me to my car and gave me the biggest hug. I’m so happy I came over to hang that day and will forever remember that hug and our talk. I will always remember that talk and your hug, I may not see you soon but you will always be alive in memory.

We are utterly devastated to learn of the loss of your precious daughter Heather. We can’t imagine of how your families are feeling at this time. We shared many memories with her in her earlier years. Chris and Joanne were so proud of her accomplishments. She will be sadly missed.
