“Dear Lord, No!”

Those were my first thoughts upon hearing the news of our sweet Heidi. She is too young, too beautiful, and loved by too many! It took me a while even to grasp the reality that she is gone. Karen Marcinak and I just spoke to Heidi on the phone five months ago, she was so happy and surprised we called. We were all laughing, giggling and talking about years past, it was fun to catch up.

Meeting Heidi goes way back… back to when we were in our late teens working our first job at the very popular women’s store, “Jean Nicole”. Through the years, I remember visiting Heidi and her amazing Mom, Collette, at their homes on Visa Marie and Moxon Drive in Clinton Township. Those two homes, just a mile apart, made me fall in love with the area around Moravian, where I still live today. My heart will ache driving around those familiar streets.

Heidi had a rare gift – the ability to make you feel special, no matter how much time had passed. Her warmth, her kindness, and that unmistakable sparkle she carried made the world a better place! Just knowing that Heidi is no longer here makes the world less special and less bright.

Karen Marcinak and I will always have such fond memories of you.

Rest Easy, my friend,Janine Seeley Petrovich
