    Heather, Thank you for your participation in the democratic process, your leadership and courage over the years. You were an inspiration, never tiring, always willing to bring a shared perspective to the public forum. You gave many people an opportunity to support you at the polls over the years and many looked towards you as a model to imitate. You are missed - May your soul rest in peace in God's loving hands
