Heather was an avid camper enjoying the scenery and the pleasures of spending time outdoors with family and friends.

Karaoke was a passion of hers - never to sing but to enjoy the music and the company of like-minded people.

The family would like to thank the staff of St. Joseph鈥檚 Hospital, the Homecare workers and nurses, Dr. Ptak and many others for their kindness and help in keeping Heather comfortable.

Special thanks to Gladys for the comforting bell - it rang on Sunday.
