Heidi and I lived near each other through all our school years. Heidi was kind, loving, soft spoken and so attentive. Seeing Heidi at reunions, I realized she still had those same endearing qualities. It is heartbreaking to lose one of our own.

I remember Heidi was always warm and friendly toward me. She washed away my insecurity with her sweet smile and personal attention. I will always fondly remember the brief  but lovely encounters we had in the hallways of Cooper High School.
