I miss Heidi.  She was such a presence. She was the karaoke master.  “Don’t stop me now” was a go to and she drew everyone’s attention.   I would do anything to hear her sing again.

Heidi was truly one of a kind. She had this incredible ability to excel in everything she did, whether it was work, the PTA, getting the hard to get reservations, or just the little things in life. But what made her so special wasn't just her competence or how effortlessly she seemed to handle everything—it was the way she made people feel, especially me.  Happy Birthday, Heidi.  I miss you.

 We started out as colleagues and evolved into a true friendship.  It's a bit funny because we had one huge work years ago with a lot of shouting (and maybe even a hangup or two).  After that one argument our friendship grew.  We used to talk all the time about Game of Thrones and now with the new series House of Drangon on, I find myself wanting to reach to call and talk with her about it.  Miss you so much Heidi.  Happy Heavanly Birthday!

Heidi was a friend from The Dwight School in NYC where Lisa attended school with my son Michael. Heidi was a beautiful person inside and out. Always kind and giving and always sharing her positive energy. Our condolences to the entire Kao family especially the kids who all attended our summer camp in NJ, Spring Lake Day Camp. Although we haven't seen eachother in years, I knew that Heidi was always someone I could text or email and she would immediately respond. She will be missed dearly.
