Heidi had a way of making everyone she knew feel special. She had a gift of making people feel seen and known. She’s one of those incredible people who could communicate with clarity every thought, concept and emotion. I’m often in awe of her communication skills - and the depth and insights she brings to our chats. I will miss her beautiful singing voice. I’ve lost a true friend.  I’m so blessed to have been her friend. If anyone would appreciate these lyrics it’s you, Heidi…

It well may be

That we will never meet again in this lifetime

So, let me say before we part

So much of me

Is made of what I've learned from you

You'll be with me like a hand prints on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end

I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend

Like all of you, I feel so devastated. She’s the most vital, active, caring, workaholic and loving mom all together. A wonder woman to me. I can’t talk about her in a past tense.

As Fred mentioned, she was the center of so many groups, and she knew how to make everyone to feel belonging and special.

There is no comfort.

Forever in my heart,

Dalit.
