Condolences & Memories (27 entries)

• I met Heather back in 1987 when I first joined the bank. She had an infectious smile, laughter and she was fun to be around. Thoughts of sympathy go out to Brenda and Brent. Your Mom was so proud of you two. - Posted by: Betty Higginson (former co-worker) on: May 06, 2014

I always enjoyed our visit, we had great chats & laughs!! She was a beautiful person, I have missed seeing her and am sad that she was taken before her time. May she rest in peace xo - Posted by: Lea Rioux (Manicurist & Friend) on: Nov 22, 2013

• We curled, we danced, we drank, we talked, but most of all we laughed a lot. Now it's time to cry. I will miss a wonderful lady. Kurt - Posted by: Kurt (Friend) on: Oct 15, 2013

• My husband and I were next door neighbours of Heathers for 12 years. We looked after each others homes when we travelled. Jim and I always enjoyed spending time with Heather who was so upbeat and pleasant. I was very sorry to hear of her passing, too young, too soon. - Posted by: Elizabeth Larmond Elliot (former neighbour) on: Sep 16, 2013

• I worked at the Royal Bank with Heather for over twenty-five years, and always found her a loving, caring person. She always had a twinkle in her eye, and I will miss her infectious laugh. To Brent and Brenda...be strong for one another, and always keep your Mom in your hearts, Marilyn Corbitt - Posted by: MARILYN CORBITT (FRIEND AND ROYAL BANK CO-WORKER) on: Sep 11, 2013

• I met Heather in 1959 at Tech Voc(busines)school. We have been long time good friends ever since. She was one happy, fun and classy lady. I will miss her dearly. My deepest sympathy to Brent, Brenda and family. - Posted by: Dorothy Knowles (good friend ) on: Sep 09, 2013

• What I remember most was Brent's love towards his Mom. When she came to visit him in University they were a strong team with smiles so alike. She was a wonderful person and she will be missed. I will remember her smile. My condolences to all the family. - Posted by: Eric Thompson (Friend) on: Sep 09, 2013

• It was a true honor to get to meet and have conversations with Heather at Sanoviv. Her eyes sparkled, and she was so full of life! She was an inspiration to us all, and encouraged everyone whom she came in contact with. She visited my dad's room a couple of times to speak with him, and encourage him. She rarely spoke of herself. She always wanted to know how the other person was doing. What a hero! I will truly miss her. Sincerely, Cherie Surface - Posted by: Cherie Surface (Friend ) on: Sep 08, 2013

• I have had the pleasure of knowing Heather for a number of years now. We have curled, golfed, camped together and through all this time we had a ball. Never a dull moment when Lady H was around. She was a kind, passionate, generous woman and that infectious smile and laugh she had I will never forget. Sharing your sorrow at the loss of someone so dear !! - Posted by: Gloria Tibbatts (Friend) on: Sep 08, 2013

• Heather will be remembered by our whole family as the fun loving neighbour who always had time for a friendly hello. Whether she was in her front yard raking her lawn or greeting her family and Brenda's dog Murphy in the driveway she always had a smile and a wave for us. She will be missed. Our condolences to her close family and friends. We can only imagine the loss and sadness you must feel. - Posted by: Renee Sanguin and Scott Stirton (Neighbours) on: Sep 07, 2013

• My deepest sympathies to the Horton Family! I am shocked and saddened to hear that my dear "Yoga Sister.....Heather" passed. She was a dedicated student....coming to yoga for over 15 years. Her presence was a delight! She was warm and compassionate, loving and caring. I will remember her always. She will be deeply missed!! - Posted by: Deborah Smith (Her Yoga Teacher) on: Sep 07, 2013

• Heather and I became neighbours and good friends 42 years ago and our kids went back and forth from one house to another. She loved her home dearly and it suited her so well that I know I'll picture her curled up beside the fireplace, listening to music and raising a glass of good wine to welcome in another new year. It is hard to believe that she is gone but we will hold these wonderful memories in our hearts as we raise our glasses and toast her life. Cheers! - Posted by: Norma Drosdowech (Neighbour and Friend) on: Sep 06, 2013

• RIP Heather. It was truly a pleasure to get to know you through our lunch group. I value that time we spent. Margie Harris - Posted by: Margie Harris (Lunch group friend) on: Sep 06, 2013

• Here I am on a golfing trip in the states and the only thing missing is Lady H (as some of us called her) We were here together in feb curling so being here without her is hard. Needless to say more than half the people on this golf trip knew Heather and will miss her. I for one am honoured to have known her and will miss our ""chats "" over a coffee. Rest in Peace my friend and we will catch up on things one day. - Posted by: Donna (Friend) on: Sep 05, 2013

• It was truly an honor to have you part of my life Heather. Our lunches to catch up on our lives will be missed.. forever in my heart. Love you up, down and around...xo - Posted by: Dru Wilson-Gregg (Forever Friend) on: Sep 05, 2013

• I first met Heather when I was studying at Lakehead with my good friend Brent Horton; from the start, Heather always treated me as part of the family. Brent and I worked in the same community after graduation and I always looked forward to her visits. The Horton household was a lively place with Heather's stories of her many adventures. I will remember her as a fun loving yet compassionate person who always brought a smile to everyone's face. - Posted by: Kai Sonnenburg (Family Friend) on: Sep 05, 2013

• Heather was a lovely lady and I am so saddened to read of her passing. I will keep her family in my thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Pat Antoski (Heather's Mom and My Mom were first cousins ) on: Sep 05, 2013

• Like so many people we know casually, we lose touch. The tribute that I was made aware of, enabled me to catch up in a superficial way. - Posted by: vic swiatkiewicz (school contemporary at Cecil Rhodes) on: Sep 05, 2013

• Extending heartfelt sympathy to the Horton family on their mother's passing. Heather was a dedicated volunteer in the fight against cancer. Heather began as a volunteer canvasser for the Cancer Society in 2007. I appreciate her support and fundraising efforts during the annual community canvass. Please know our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Friends at the Canadian Cancer Society - Posted by: Lynda Ruban (staff at the Canadian Cancer Society) on: Sep 05, 2013

• I knew Heather thru the many years of curling trips to Mahnomen (Shooting Star) and her visits to Foxwarren, with our friend Desneige. Very saddened by her passing. She always had a smile and a greeting for anyone, no matter who they were. A loving person all around and I will never forget the fun and laughs we shared thru the years. Sincere sympathy to you all. - Posted by: Lexie Butler () on: Sep 05, 2013

• Violet and I are deeply saddened to hear of Heather's passing. We saw Heather last year at Victoria Beach and spent a wonderful day together. I'm very happy that we had a chance to do that. I got to know Heather better in the last year of my mum's life. She always went out of her way to see my mum and bring her treats and attend the family Chinese dinners we had. Funny but I was thinking about her at the beach this year but never called. I wish I'd had. I'll miss her. - Posted by: Bill and Violet Brown (Third cousin) on: Sep 05, 2013

• I am very shocked and saddened to hear of Heather's passing! I did not realize that she was ill. The Business Women just celebrated our 30th year of operation in 2012 and Heather was one of the last of our curlers who was an original member. The first year I started curling in the league, the team I was on was on the executive and that season Heather was the President of the club and I remember having our meeting in her beautiful "cottage". Heather was a constant presence at the Rouge curling with Brenda and Maggie and she will be missed! I am very sorry for your loss and know that we will mention Heather's passing to our league members. Best wishes.

• I met Heather thru Theresa Holgate. We had golfed together on our bus trips to the USA and Curled on her team in Grafton. She was also a mentor to me with USANA. I am so saddened by her passing and I will always cherish the memories. She was always a true friend. My Sincere Sympathy to you all.
