Susan, Sheila and Beth Althought it has been awhile since we have been together, my memories of your mother are as vivid as yesterday. I remember her as a warm and caring person who always looked her best and sang beautifully. Your parents always made me feel welcome in your home and they were both a part of my childhood. The Martin and Stephenson families spent many good times together. I have many wonderful memories of our time spent in Oakridge, Grand Bend and on trips. I would love to connect with you Susan and catch up. Until then I want you to know that I am thinking about you all and wish you and your families the best at this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I have such wonderful memories of your mom when growing up in Oakridge - she was always such a loving, welcoming & classy lady.
Heather was a warm and caring friend. Although the relationship was initially "customer" it quickly became "friend" and it was always a special day when we would meet. Indeed she was a classy lady and will be greatly missed. We offer to the family our special memories..

It was with great sadness that I learned about Heather's passing when I received a call from Lucy, at Lifestyles. Heather was my "go to woman" at Lifestyles from the time she started with them. This was not just a relationship of sales person and consumer. We shared many stories of our lives with each other over the years - both trials and tribulations. We spoke many times of her "girls" and the growing family of grandchildren. It was always with pride and joy that she spoke of you. I will miss her smiling face and kind words. She was always impeccably dressed and an inspiration to an aspiring fashionista. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the funeral. Although the circumstances were not ideal it would have been nice to put the faces to the names I've heard about all these years. My condolences to all of you and know that she touched many people's lives very positively over the years.
