I am very sorry for your loss. While my dad, Edward and Eric were first cousins, our two families, didn't have occasion to spend much time together over the years in spite of the fact that the 4 Deibert kids and the 4 Vogelgesang kids (Catherine, Robin, Edward and Joel) were mirror ages and attended the same high school. I well imagine, with that many kids going in so many directions, lining up schedules was pretty tough. I do recall when the rare occasion arose that found us together, there were plenty of laughs and good fun to be had. Heather had a quick wit and a great sense of humour. Her effusive energy present in any room or conversation. Heaven's gain.

Uncle Eric and cousins, we extend our very deepest sympathies on your loss of a very special person. Your wife, your Mother and our Aunt Heather was a one of a kind and a very special person. We treasure the many in- depth conversations we had over the years during our many visits. One of our most treasured memories is the welcome we received spending a few days of our honeymoon with Uncle Eric, Aunt Heather and cousins – we were treated royally and served delicious meals over lovely visits. Some of my (Keith’s) fondest memories are of the few months I stayed at your place in Coquitlam. “I will never, ever forget the occasional loud voice in the background, "ERIC!” when Aunt Heather wanted his attention". Uncle Eric & I managed to rattle the cage on more than one occasion, especially when watching Johnny Carson late in the evening when others wanted quiet. Our final goodbye to our very special Aunt Heather is very difficult altho we now know she is at peace and did not linger, as she never wanted to be a burden on anyone which is something that always concerned her even to her last days. Heaven has gained an angel to watch over and pray for her earthly loved ones.

Eric and family,

My condolences to you Eric and your family.

I have many good memories of Heather especially in our late teens and early 20's. We had a few interesting things happen during our double dating with Eric and my late husband Dick. One was a Pike Lake picnic incident where we found the best picnic spot after a long time searching for something private ( which after we got all set up turned out to be on the Pike Lake Golf Course).

Lee and I have been good friends since high school and that’s when I first meet Mr. and Mrs. Deibert. In those early years I spent a lot of time at their home in Willow Park; and I’m sure their grocery bill would back that up. I always found Heather and Eric welcoming and accommodating; from sleeping on the basement couch to meals and constant snacking to workouts in Lee’s room in the basement. I can remember during one of those workouts, Heather opening the door, taking a deep gasp and saying something about the smell, then quickly going over to the window and opening it. I can’t recall if she ever did discuss with Lee why she came in; since all I do remember is Heather quickly leaving the room and closing the door.

In the years that have followed I saw Heather and Eric on special occasions; and we always had a catch-up conversation and some laughs. The laughs usually came from something dumb Lee and I did in those earlier years, so there was plenty to laugh at.

My deepest condolences to Mr. Deibert and the family. Mrs. Deibert, may she rest in peace.
