From Pat & the Mabbutt clan on 24/5/2006

It is so difficult to find the words to explain my feelings and memories of you Heather! We met when our children (Derek & Paul) became friends at school (and they have continued to be best friends). You always had such energy and even when life was difficult for you you seemed to find a way of coping which I admired so much. Even when we spoke on the phone recently it was difficult to realise how ill you were. You were so positive, and enjoying your family, friends as well as the flowers surrounding you. You are gone, but you will never be forgotten. Your family are in our thoughts.
