I worked with Heather at Fidelity in our new role at transition services. 5 of us girls were put into a group. We all loved Heather so much! We would joke that she was the mom of the group, she was so warm, loving, and funny. She had the funniest sense of humor and we loved her sass! She kept things real. We’ve been talking to each other in our group chat every day since January. Even though we were virtual friends I feel like we really knew Heather. She was so encouraging and was interested in our lives. We loved hearing about her life stories and her wonderful family and friends. It is quite the shock that she is gone, we are all devastated by the news and really can’t believe it. I know we keep waiting for her to chime in at any moment. 
I want her family to know how much of an impact Heather made with people all over the country. We’re a group from UT, TX, and FL. And we feel honored to carry her spirit with us. We love and miss you Heather!!

It truly saddens me to be writing a condolence letter for my friend and UBS colleague Heather. Heather was always smart, stubborn and opinionated, but always professional and personable with all of her co-workers and clients alike. And although we had our differences of opinions we always came through as great friends. I will never forget how gracious and helpful she was when I was going through a rough time medically - her friendship meant everything to me. We spoke a short while back about getting together for dinner but it didn't transpire.
I hope you have finally found peace and understand how many people love you and will miss you - I'm counted in both.

There are no words to describe the true loss of this beautiful soul. Heather was compassionate beyond measure. She loved unconditionally and gave so much of herself to others. She had rescued me and I will be eternally grateful for her kind , encouraging words.  She smiled from her toes and had the most infectious laugh.  A beautiful soul who will live in my heart forever.  My deepest condolences to her family and friends. May they find peace remembering her joyous spirit. HBG xo

I was so sad to hear of Heathers passing.  We were friends for 20 years and I will miss her wit and compassion and good heart.   I will miss our talks and laughter and will cherish them forever.

I met Heather through work. We were grouped together with 3 other ladies for a training program, and the 5 of us got along so well, that we kept a group chat going that continued every day after training was over. At first, it was just questions about work stuff and learning the new job, but over time, all of us came to know each other as close friends. 
I admired Heather for many reasons. She was confident, intelligent, and funny. She was also so generous of spirit and courageous. She shared a lot of her story with us, and she always reminded us to give ourselves grace through difficult times. 
Hearing of Heather's passing has been difficult, and I know we're all dealing with it in our own ways. I hope that we can all take her advice in this moment and give ourselves some grace. 
The Crypt Keepers miss you, Heather. You were the best of us. 
My heart goes out to Heather's wonderful family and friends in New Jersey, who she spoke of often. 

Heather and I started working together in Nov of 2022, and we even created our own chat group where we talked daily. She was such a kind-hearted colleague who always put others before herself. I will miss our daily chats about shopping, sharing baby pictures and encouraging one another. My condolences are with Heather's family and friends during this time. 

Heather was both a team mate and a blossoming friend.  I knew her as a compassionate spirit and a positive influence.   Having just spoken with her on Friday, I am shocked and saddened by the news of Heather's passing.  My  thoughts and prayers go out to Heather's family and friends.  I wish we could turn back the clock and bring her back.  God bless her sweet soul.  

I only knew Heather for a short period of time while working on a remote team with her at Fidelity, but she quickly became a valued friend and teammate to many of us despite the lack of face to face interaction.

She will be sorely missed.

My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.

Heather and I worked together at UBS.  She was a huge help to me and my team during a critical time, which I am forever grateful.  My condolences to her parents, family, and friends. 

My very first memory of Heather is of her in this beyond pink frilly dress at one of the first Thanksgivings I can recall. From that day on I thought she was the coolest girl and couldn't wait to see what she wore to each holiday. As I got older, I couldn't wait to hear her funny take on *everything* punctuated by her big smile and infectious laugh as we sat at the "Bigger Kids Table." My heart sends her soul solace, and love to her friends--who I'm sure were as taken by her as I was--and, of course, Bruce and Carol and the rest of her family.  

Heather was an extraordinary person who had a remarkable ability to make the most of any situation. From the moment I first met her, I was struck by her intelligence and sense of humor, leaving a lasting impression on me. As we drove together in the car, the melodious tunes of Stevie Nicks filled the air, and we couldn't help but sing along while running errands. Even to this day, whenever a Stevie Nicks song plays on the radio, fond memories of Heather immediately come rushing back to me. She was a truly special friend whose presence and zest for life enriched every moment we spent together.

Heather and Amanda.   Called themselves BFF’s.   There are no words.   We are heartbroken for Carol and Bruce.

I worked with Heather at Smith Barney and UBS. She lit up any room she was in.  My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

Sweet Heather- We met in  10th grade and became best friends instantly! So many amazing memories that will forever live in my heart. This past  month we have been talking more and reminiscing, it felt so good for both of us. You will always be in my heart. Until we meet again my sweet friend. 
Love always and forever-
Jami
