Tributes
I was in 3rd form and was in Heather's first college class, when she left training college. Heather was my form class teacher and also taught me sewing. As i became an adult we often caught up in the supermarket, and had a coffee together on the odd occasion. Heather was a wonderful teacher and a wonderful kind person who was very supportive of me and the study I am doing at my age. I have my third form photo with Heather in it and will take the time to remember her with fondness and above all respect. My thoughts are with the family at this sad sad time. Heather I will miss seeing you and your beautiful smile and will cherish the time that you gave me when we chatted. I will also remember you saying to me 'i always knew you had the ability to do well for yourself Michele, you probably stopped yaking and laughing'. This makes me laugh now because she was right. All my love, Michele.
