Heather You were in a vivid dream I had last night. You were wearing blue jeans! It was at the end of this dream, you we're checking in you make sure we were having a party that night. I felt really happy about that. This is so unbelievably uncanny! The weeping willow tree branches I propagated last year have made it through the winter and will be planted soon, in your honor. I miss you and think of you so very often.

Dearest Heather
Spending time today reflecting on so many memories and the times we shared. We miss you but feel your presence especially on Gull Lake. Conar will join us in Sept and we are looking forward to sharing some great stories.
Love you and miss you, Scott and Jack deeply.

Ten years today Heather. Still seems impossible to me. I have some weeping willow tree shoots that are ready to plant. I know where ten are going today. They are from the golden ones along Eileen and Steves driveway. XXO

Heather, We met in spring time but I can't help but think of you everyday XXO. Whenever I look around our acreage I hear your voice and hear your mind working on all the possibilities. I miss you and Scotty and Jack XXO So nice to see a note here that Conar is visiting your family in Ontario. I bet they love to see the good manners that you taught him.

Dearest Heather. Eight years since we lost you. That sounds like a long time but it doesn’t feel that long. I wonder what you’d have to say about the world today. Maybe you’d like to call it egregious dumbfuckery.
I’m wearing your beautiful kimono. Eileen gifted it to me not long ago. It’s a beautiful garment and of course reminds me of you

There is still a place in my reality where we are all fine and good and setting up for an awesome 60 th birthday celebration for you my darling. You would have taken over my efforts as usual. but thats still okay. Love you all Valentines

I wonder if I ever told you that all my best friends birthdays are around the first week of November. Imagine that!! XXO

May 24, 2019

Yes. It is always hard to believe you left us seven years ago. I love the memories of our friendship and shenanigans. Couple of troublemakers. I finally got my golf swing under control. We had so much fun That summer with our lessons and trying to make the best of the clubhouse food and wine. I wish I had been more generous with my time and made sure Every Friday after work was all about building the best blender drinks. I miss you my friend. XXO
You’rbvoice and hearing you call me Kitty Cat is strong and clear.

May 23, 2019

Hard to believe you left us 7 years ago. Seems like it was just yesterday and your spirit is ever present. I frequently sit in the sun porch or on the dock and chat with you. Miss you terribly and today I’ll go thru my pictures and relive wonderful memories.
Love you
Your sister Deb

Heather. My dear friend. I think of you so often. It actually gives me comfort because I know I’ll love you and miss you forever. I hope your very short apron strings are wrapped tightly around Jack now that he is gone from here too soon as well. You’re both very much in my heart.

My Dear Aunt Heather, as this time of year comes around your memory is stronger than ever. My favourite memory with you is sitting at the end of Aunt Debs dock with all the gals. You were in the water giving us pedicures. You always had a way of making me feel beautiful and special. For that I am always grateful! Our family always associates risotto with you! Whenever we would come visit you in Rock Mountain House you would make sure to whip up so delicious risotto because you knew I loved it so much. Not a day goes by where I dont miss you. Love Always Jenna

I worked in my gardens yesterday. Jack was helping me It's where I have some of my best moments. I feel your presence, your memory is very much alive Jack says it is so crazy how some of my mannerisms remind him of you. There are times when I even talk like you! Last nite Greg, Gord, Sue, Jack, Tyler and me took a slow boat ride around the lake. And I know you were with us. Love always and still dearly missed

Finished preparing my gardens for their winter sleep today and felt your presence. We had a great conversation. Want to let you know how much we enjoyed having the family gathering at the lake for Thanksgiving and Scott and Jack were with us. Still remember the warmth, good cheer and absolutely wonderful dinners you hosted. I cherish those memories.
Miss you and love you dearly.

I was very happy to see some new pictures of what must have been Heathers last summer holiday back home. Even one of her cooking in the kitchen, more likely "taking over the kitchen."
I am really inspired by the memorial planting of the lilac tree and flower garden. I hope you don't mind being copied Deb, I'd love to do that on my acreage. We can still do these things to keep her memory as she lives on through us.

May 25, 2015

May 23, 2015

It's a beautiful sunny day inthe Haliburton Highlands. We planted a lilac bush in your memory, a variety that stays in bloom for most of the summer. It's at the water, s edge and today I will fertilize it and get the soil ready for planting flowers around it. It's another way of seeing your presence each and every day. I miss you but your memory and spirit stay ever strong
Love you honeybun

Love you and always thinking of you Scott and the kids.

May 24, 2014

We'll here it is at five in the morning two years since Heather passed and I just woke up from the strangest dream.The Valentine crew was going to the cottage to work on something,Heather and Scott were trying to get the kids ready and the only other part of the dream I remember is what woke me up.I had fallen asleep in there van and it started driving and I was fumbling trying to get to the wheel to get back to the house and get them.I don't know if I had this dream because I was thinking of Heather yesterday or she is trying to make me laugh.i was a little freaked when I first woke up but I'm sure it was Heather trying to make me laugh and make me pause on how precious life is.Miss you always.P.S.dont judge me it's five in the morning and I just woke up from a bizarre dream!

November 2, 2013

My special funky lady friend, Heather. I believe this time of year holds a new meaning for me. It used to be just Halloween but now its a memory of how you would go all out to make it special for everyone. You have such an amazing flair for that. I have always owed you a pile of thank-you notes for the great times we had. Damn well miss you so. XO D

September 13, 2013

Hey ma, life has been pretty good the last few months. I dont make to much but you can't put a price on love. I'm pretty sure i'm a better person due to your tutaleigh. I know that's probably not how you spell it. But any way i know how to set a table and be a gentleman. Thanks ma. Love you always

September 1, 2013

Christmas Time

To a great friend and stepmom to Jennelle

May 27, 2013

Well it took me a couple of days to think about what I was going to write on this memorial site.I met Heather and Scott in1989 when I moved to Minden to buy the Dominion Hotel.Heather and Scott were the first people to offer up there friendship which grew closer as the days,months and years went by.We even had kids at almost the same time being Jennelle and Jack.After a few years along came Connar and the kids also became good friends even today.Heather was like a stepmom to my daughter and when we got together Heather and Jennelle would always have girl time.I experienced so many great times with Heather,at the ski hill,party's,Christmas and many times it was just around the dinner table.I remember when we first started the dinner club doing meals from all around the world and with mega bottles of wine.Well that got me thinking of how many people Heather had served at that dinner table.I know Jennelle and myself have had so many amazing dinners at that table.I can just imagine if Scotty could count how many different people they had served and partied with it would be an incredible number.So I'm ending my little story about what I think Heather enjoyed more than anything other than spending time with Scotty and that was to entertain and feed friends at the Valentine dining table.I will love and miss you forever Heather.
