Heidi was very soft spoken, simple, down-to-earth, loving and kind. She loved to go camping with the girls when they were little. She loved going riding with Barry and spending time together. They would often put the top down on the mustang and ride and ride with smiles from ear to ear. She was brave, a fighter, strong and courageous and she never complained.
