Heather loved her family, friends and wonderful co-workers and lived her life to the fullest. She was passionate about playing tennis, caring for her patients and also her 2 beloved dogs Coda and Moonshine.

Please remember Heather for her determination, strength, generous spirit, concern for others and her contagious laugh and smile.
